    • Use a PH1 screwdriver to unscrew the two 9.0 mm screws on the circuit board that corresponds to the red power button.

    • Remove gently. The circuit board is connected by wire to the console. Removing the cable from the console case may allow more slack.

    • A spring may pop out.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Hello. I just bought a used atari flashback 2 and when I turn it on it seems that the power button is a little tricky. I wiggle the button in and out and half way etc. then sometimes I can get it to turn on. Once on, the video 'pulses' on and off and a pulsing sound is noticeable. Is it just a faulty power button or is it something worse like a power regulator. I've taken it apart and all seems to be ok looking ie. no burnt fuses etc.  Can you help?  ~Brad Beachin~
