Hello!

I got a second-hand Atari 800XL without the original power-supply.  I tried to power it up for the first time using a PSU from my Atari XEGS console.

The Power-LED lights up, and thats about it.  No video, or any reactions when keys are pressed.    The connected LCD-screen seems to be activated for a few seconds, but no image is displayed from the composite output.  (I have not tested the RF-output.)

Would the XEGS PSU be incompatible?  I do not have the original 800XL PSU available.

Any tip on how to proceed appreciated!
