exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Hello, my Atari STE is little grey, the rainbow gem is rolling (mono/colour) and everything else seems OK sound, floppy, but the desktop is grey and after a few moments it starts to switch between grey and green and now after about 4 mins they are about equal in the amount of time they display, oh the green is lessening again virtually gone.

I'm lost, thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Zack,

I'm a little puzzled from the description , so maybe post a video of what it's doing but first thing that comes to mind is a bad connection on the monitor lead?

Thanks for replying I have just found my RGB and it works, but not via the modulator? could it be a capacitor or resister.
Thank you so much, I don't know how you like to be addressed Forgottenmyname, FMN or Forgo :D :thumbup:

If the modulator output is losing colour, then likely the TV isn't perfectly turned into the STE.

Lol, any of those names are fine, FMN might be a good one for the forum I guess?
