I have an Atari 800 that has been sitting in
a closet at home for about 5 years now.

The problem is this: When I turn the unit on it behaves
normal for about a minute and then crashes spectacularly
with brightly colored moving text and graphics on the
screen and random noise. I suspect a loose connection
somewhere--- has anyone had this problem? How would
I go about getting the thing fixed? does atari still repair 800's?

any info would be greatly appreciated!
