I got mine 2 years ago and i am sooo happy with it, i actually just can’t belueve that that console slipped from my radar for 3 dacades and that i also only owned and played on the nintendo nes back in the 90’s,it’s just that sad that i never knew or experienced gaming back in the 80’s because back then i was just a very little child,but still trough,the colecovision is definitely a cool system with cool games for it😁
This happened to show up in my recommendations! Good stuff. My Colecovision's controller 1 port has some buttons that don't work, I really need to figure out how to fix someday. ;-;
thought i chime in on this one as well, i worked on quite a few colecovisions and still have two in my collection, the power switch is 100% common issue but i have also ran into power supply causing corrupted grafx as well, for example i have one power supply that out puts -5.24 volts on the negative pin and no matter what system i connect it to, it alwase has corrupted grafx, while the other power supply i have outputs - 4.96 volts on the negative pin and its works perfectly fine, so basicly if you repair your power switch and still have display problems and have cleaned the cart and cartridge port, check all 3 voltages on hte power supply, 12v shoudldread about 12.2 to 12.3 / +5 should be around 5.1 and -5 should -4.96 to -4.98

if the same buttons dont work on two differant controllers, then its bad Controller interface chip thats has to be replaced on the motherboard
Very Informative thanks!

@Unknownfolkartist only way to fix would be to replace the voltage regulator i belive console5 has -5v voltage regualtors on there site
Good Tips !
I have seen other videos where they add some dielectric grease to the switch, i guess this is optional?
Yes in my experience you don’t need it
My top tip is leave the power button on permanent switch off on the wall that way the switch can't fail🎉
