AtGames Atari Flashback 7 spontaneous reboot issue

Post by /atari »


I am trying to help a friend troubleshoot a problem with their Atari Flashback 7. When the system hasn't been played in a while, it runs ok for about two minutes or so. Then it resets and begins rebooting every few seconds.

I suspect overheating or a bad capacitor, or maybe a bad power supply. Is this a common issue and is there a known solution?
