#N:harpo:25900001:000:792 harpo!bob Jun 3 11:10:00 1983 My Atari 800 has developed a problem. It is used with a TV as opposed to a monitor , and the problem exists when all peripherals are disconnected and unplugged. Bars of video distortion and noise (horizontal) drift slowly thru the screen at a steady rate. The bars (only one at a time) occupy about 1/5 of the screen, and the remainder of the screen looks less sharp than usual. Inserting and removing a program ROM a few times seems to clear up the problem, but the next time the computer is turned on, it is likely to be back. Looks like an interference problem to me , as I get the same results on another tv. Is my modulator dying? Bad grounding somewhere? Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? R. L.
