Yesterday, I plugged my intellivision and it works pretty good regarding its status of "sleeping beauty"  Except the colors : When I turn it on, theres only a B/W screen. If I touch a bit the antenna cable, colors sometimes gets back and remains but not at each time . In your opinion, is this a loose connection (antenna cable) or is an electronic component faulty ? Thanks for your help. |

I wonder if your antenna cable is broken. By moving it you may restore the contact of the internal wires for a short time.

The original cables for the Intellivision seem to have lots of trouble. I use another cable I got because the original one just gives me a very snowy image.

I have replaced the cable but seems it's not the cause. Must be the antenna plug itself at the back of the console. i will open the console again and try to see what I can do.

Ah, that sucks. Hopefully it is something easy to fix.

I have opened the console but cannot reach the plug and the PCbs without unsoldering. I won't do it because too risky (considering the potential gain). So I am going (to try) to fix the loose connection with adh. tape : ugly but end justifies the means, doesn'it? (I will yet do it properly). Thanks TrekMD, if you have any ideas, I take them.

I have not seen the inside of an Intellivision but it does sound like either a bad solder joint that needs resoldering or a break in a tv modulator or something, obvious once spotted.
