fixing atari jaguar

someone from a different website told me he would sell me an atari jaguar, but the problem he could vaguely see the screen and you had to turn it up to hear the sound but it was basically becuz of a snowy screen. i didnt officially make any deals yet because i am saving all of my money for a nintendo wii (im going to buy both a wii and 360 on the day wii comes out) and he said that the jaguar, along with most of his collection, is in "storage" now, and he is getting it back in a few months. is there any way to fix the jaguar? he said he had no idea what is wrong with it or how to fix it.

EDIT: move this to forum 42

Vague screen and low sound = power problems

I dunno, there isn't that much info about the Atari Lynx and I don't own one. You'd have to open it to see. But if it still works beside low sound vague screen it'll probably be 'fixable'. How much was it?

Is a jaguar worth owning in any condition?

if you like old game systems and hard to find stuff

I think it was more of a question on the playabilty of the games more so then a qestion on it's collectibility.

yes, there really isnt that many good games, i like the game AVP though, and i suppose there a few obscure goodies.

I've got one with a melted IC that could easily be replaced and probly work. A cap blow and took the IC with it and I replaced the cap.

Yes I like my Jag for Raiden, Wolfenstein, and AVP. The controllers are more comfortable than you think, IMHO.
