When you clean the flux off the board, put a coffee filter or paper towel down first, then scrub the area with the toothbrush, this way the paper towel absorbs the flux, otherwise the toothbrush only just spreads out the flux on the board for the most part.
Been looking all over for good videos that explain things in detail without horrible music and I really like your channel! Glad I caught you!
Thanks
You’re doing a great job man 👍. Loving the SNES console stuff, keep it up.
Man I really love your content! Watching console repair is so awesome!
You ended up doing more than I needed but you explained everything so clearly I kept watching. Good video!
Thanks👍
It’s fun watching you work. It’s satisfying and hypnotic. Good job on the fix. 👍
Stay safe my friend.😂
Always enjoyed your work, excellent tutorial,never rushed, it's the reason people subscribe
Thanks I appreciate it.👍
Not sure if you have one of them, but I’ve found placing the board in a quad hands unit, holding the iron on the top of the through hole, and then using the solder sucker underneath the hole really makes for a quick and easy way of clearing them. 👍
Keep up the great work!
StreetChally73 yeah that does make it easier I just don’t have helping hand device yet. I need to get one.
First video I've checked out in your channel. Already learned a ton of new stuff. I love your test cart. I've been interested in fixing up old consoles since I tried to boot up my snes and I got a black screen. Except of lufia 2, that boots to the first two screens before it goes black. Trying to learn all I can so I can fix my snes. Anyways, can't wait to check out more of your videos.
Thanks again for the videos! This is a good way to put a replacement fuse on the super nes, nice job 👍
Hello brother, nice see new videos again
Always awesome videos thanks for sharing.
I especially like the console repair vids
I really like them too but, acquiring consoles are a bit more expensive though, I will try to keep the console repairs coming more often.
If you add a tiny bit of solder to your tip you will also improve the ability to remove solder from the board with the braid and with the sucker, because you need that solder to get quicker and more uniform heat transfer.
I lived in Japan from 2017-2019. Depending on the area, I would routinely find "junk" Super Famicom consoles for $1-3. I remember my first time seeing stacks of these and not knowing how common it was so I bought 30 of them. There was another time a year later where a store had at least 60 of them for $1 each and I only bought 3 because I had built up such a huge hoard already.
I would recommend looking at lots of "junk" consoles online for as cheap as possible. SFC board is the same as SNES except the power jack. That might be a viable option if you can get a lot cheap enough to offset the shipping cost.
Yes that is a great point. The super famicom and Super Nintendo are the same beside the RF module tuned to 95-96 and the power jack. I need to find stacks of SFCs for $1 each I’ll take 1000😁
PunkNDisorderlyGamer external RF module you mean, or is there an adjustment somewhere?
Highrise Tech the SNES and SFC are the same board, the only difference is the power port jack and the RF module, on North American SNES version works with channel 3-4 and the Japanese SFC you have to change the channel to 95-96.
PunkNDisorderlyGamer any way to change the RF module with a North American one? Take the component off an NA junk board and swap?
Highrise Tech probably I haven’t tried yet. I would assume it would swap perfectly the power jack and the RF module without any other modifications.
for big through-holes like that i tend to overfill them with fresh solder then whilst they're still hot use a rubber air puffer to blow the hot solder out into a can of copper wool. For smaller ones usually my desoldering tool handles them ok.
That’s a good point. I like to try different things on the fly sometimes.
You are very talented! Good job
Awesome video! Absolutely love this!
I'm really enjoying your videos. You're doing great. I was curious what temperature you set your soldering iron to. I just got a new Hakko one and I'm finding it's really easy to lift pads while desoldering on an old test board. I want to find a good temp and practice before I work on my consoles.
My iron is usually fixed at 300 Celsius, if I’m desoldering a large ground plane I will boost the iron to 375-450 Celsius. You don’t really need more than 315 Celsius for the work you saw in this video.
Well done on the repair. I'd be curious if you find any good Nintendo parts sources. I mostly do handheld restoration, but those are getting pretty steep as well.
Nope, just eBay.
Yay, you fixed it.
Thanks👍
Just ordered a super nes from eBay . Powers on but no video . Hoping it’s an easier fix . I don’t have the necessary tools . Otherwise I’m gonna have to try to some of these things . Eager to learn .
Nice job Saving that super Nintendo entertainment system I like saving old school retro videogames
Very nice, I have some super Nintendos and other consoles..I recently got a super nintendo pal version from hong kong SEALED boxed and it works just fine with a hdmi adapter, it has a 50/60 switch made by Nintendo back in 1992 for th3 honk Kong market however some games ..on the title screen it shows squares ..like 2 ..3, .k2 show some on the title screen or side pocket shows 2..but 99.9% of the games runs absolutely fine. i was testing all these games via a super ever drive, and using the same cartridge on an ugly snes" north america" it all works good.
First off I really like your channel. Secondly, the burn in test cartridge you use, Does it have any special hardware built into it or could I use a rom file of that cartridge on a flash cartridge to do the same thing?
It’s just a rom file. If you can get an everdrive to boot the rom file you can test your hardware. Keep in mind, sometimes the console is too faulty and won’t boot the cartridge or an everdrive.
Thanks for watching my channel.
Amazing video!
I've never been able to do that trick where you slide the hot soldering tin through the metal pins and pull it out easily.
I think possibly for sourcing parts junk lots of super famicoms from Japan. Most of the "junk" turn out to be OK. Swap the power connector and the rf off a dead snes board and you're usually good to go.
Alfie's Games super famicoms are the way to go when sourcing for chips but even those are a bit out of mg price range right now.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer Ya the market gone crazy recently. That's kind of good cause it means it's worth putting our time into them to fix them. I look at a broken ps1 and go not worth it.
I know this video is a few years old, but what are some cheap things i could practice on? I have 4 Super Nintendos that i assume are having similar issues, but i dont want to mess them up further. Thank you for this video! 😊
Not sure what would be good practice. If you’ve got the right tools I would just go for it.
I have used the same repair blog to diagnose the first SNES I bought. It had the "black screen of death" and never got it working. Since I have replaced everything except for the chips (I don't own a hot air rework station) I assumed that it must be a dead CPU. I got another SNES motherboard a year later...and surprise it has the same issue :) After reading on the topic, it turns out that the CPU used in the first two European SNES revisions is very prone to failure. I wish I had a diagnostics cartridge like yours. I was wondering whether I could use one of the Chinese EverDrive clones to load this application. Maybe I will try this in the future :)
You may be able to load the burn test rom from an everdrive.
This is so fun to watch!!! Where does anyone get capacitors and circuit parts these days? Seems like all the electronics stores that used to carry this stuff are all but dried up and gone!
Online I usually go with mouser, digikey, and for obscure ICs I’ll use UTsource.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer oh man that’s awesome! Thank you for being so helpful!!! So, I started building up my collection again because everything but my super Mario world games were gone from childhood, god knows where it all went lol... I’m happy the Mario game survived it all though. I went on quite a journey to get my collection looking like it did when I was a kid. I must say, I did not expect to literally fall in love with finding them and playing them all over again. Naturally some stuff I found used was in bad shape so it all started with learning the basics of cleaning the carts and re-bending/cleaning the pins. That lead to unscrewing carts and finding bad capacitors causing graphics issues, which led to brushing up on soldering which I’ve only done a handful of times. Then I figured what the hell?! I had an old broken Xbox that wouldn’t power on (auto powered back off immediately) and learned to run a jumper and fixed it from advice of another UA-cam. Next thing I know I’m having this strange calling to fix old broken units! You guys are so generous with your knowledge and so helpful I really appreciate it. I bought a broken system just to give myself a chance to take a crack at repairing an Snes that wouldn’t power on. Spent 40 bucks said what the heck right? It comes in the mail and while I am testing it out with a multimeter it just kicks on after like 20 seconds and has been running fine ever since lol! I got lucky on that one. Now I am going on eBay to buy more broken ones to really find a challenging one so wish me luck 😂 to make my long story even longer lol... there’s something very therapeutic about fixing these things that basically took care of me and gave me joy as a kid. It’s like I owe it to them! And then someone else can enjoy to if I end up fixing and selling! To be honest I have been a little depressed lately and working this corporate job of mine for a while now and with Covid the grind felt REAL. This is totally taking all that away and I feel motivated and excited to do something! Anyway, thank you for such a quick response and for the parts tips! Off I go hopefully to fix some SNES’s and make someone else happy! And maybe make a buck while at it 😉 thanks again!!!
@@tonu115 that’s great to hear, I took on the hobby when I had a SNES laying around that didn’t power on, in fact, that first SNES was the most complicated SNES repair to date. I went from repairing the fuse to finally repairing a busted diode it then came to life but in black and white, so I then had to replace the trimmer capacitor, the little red square screw next to the crystal, someone broke it twisting it too far. I’ve since never had a bad diode or black and white image from any other console. A bit of advise on SNES consoles A LOT of them on eBay have bad CPUs or if your “lucky” bad PPUs. If you have to purchase some random SNES for parts go for real cheap route or better yet go for higher serial numbers like UN25xxxxxx and higher, the CPUs on the later revisions are more durable. The main SNES chips are not sourceable so if one is bad you’re SOL you’ll need to pull one from a parts board. Also, if you need parts for a SNES you could find Super famicoms for cheap and literally pull any chip or component from that at a fraction of the cost. In fact on eBay you can find large lots of SFCs for cheap.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer that’s awesome!!! Thanks for the advice! Hopefully I get lucky on the two I bought from eBay next time I will go the route you suggest!
Use to replace surface mount ICs on computers and TVs. I didn't work on Nintendos.
you got a link to that archive? Ive got an old SNES and apparently the one game i tried to test it with is...Starfox XDXD gonna get a different game to diagnose if its at least semi servicable or if Ill have to source a chip
I dig your Actraiser Northwall BG music bro. One of the most beautiful games ever.
Did you happen to grab the Renaissance remake for the ps4??
Hi, Do you sell PPU1 and PPU1 chips or CPU in any store? or does it have to be donated from another Snes? Thanks 🙏 my Snes have errors graphics… I have changed all the capacitors and the image still works badly ...
Hi i have a SNES control set and every time i put in my Super mario wrld it doesnt work and gives me a black screen . Please help
Just curious to know what settings you use on your hot air station? I’ve been struggling to hone my settings in.
R3INHARD1 I usually use highest speed setting and temperature 315 Celsius
Great video! Gave you a like an sub
I took a look at the site you refer to trying to decide what is wrong with my snes. A lot of games work fine and it passes the burn-in test, but on DKC the sprites are missing. On Actraiser the background has glitches and Star Fox boots to a black screen. The intro music plays and then quits and it registers no input, however the Japanese version starts and freezes soon after. Most other Super FX games have various except for Doom.
The closest I can tell from the site is either cpu or ppu2 failure.
It’s probably a ppu1 or ppu2 when you play the game does the game still function correctly? disregarding the sprites.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer Yes other than Star Fox which only seems to be loading the into music to the spc and does nothing else.
@@SuperHamsterGaming I’ll bet the cpu is ok, plus most of those burn tests are cpu related, not all but most. You could put that cpu in a bad cpu board or try swapping the ppus one at a time. Keep in mind It’s quite difficult to do if you’ve never done smd work.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I haven't done a lot of surface mount stuff. I do suppose I need to practice that. I've done plenty of soldering and mods otherwise.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I've got another board somewhere with sprite glitches. Maybe between them there are enough good parts to make one.
Hello!
Here I have an issue with my SNES. Sometimes I can see the games boot screen, I can hear sound, but when I press start, I get nothing but a black screen.
Any idea what it could be ? capacitors ? CPU ? something else ? Thanks !
Probably a bad cpu. To be honest I’m not sure.
I’m just getting into this stuff, so I’m not completely sure what it is, but where did you get your burn in cartridge?
It’s a reproduction, I bought it a while back on Etsy I think the shop has since closed. But you can get one here as well www.ocdreproductions.com/BurnIn_Test_Cart/p1560736_18499139.aspx
Where does everyone keep getting these burn-in carts from? I can’t find one any where. Could you post a link please? Awesome videos, I’ve learned a lot from you!
www.ocdreproductions.com/BurnIn_Test_Cart/p1560736_18499139.aspx
Keep in mind they’re busy with pending orders at the moment of posting
Can you help me plz🙏 mine power up 1 sec but no screen and light turn off.
I opened mine up to try to fix a black screen and I couldn’t get it to turn back on after that
My snes image is shifted up. My tv settings are fine. Anyone know what this might be?
Great job!
Where can I pick up the SNES Service Cartridge?
Etsy or aliexpress
I have an SNES just like this board with the removable audio sound chip. The console had power and would 90% of the time be a black screen but multiple times it would boot to the super Mario coin sound and Nintendo logo then cut off and a few times it would boot the game and I could play it as long as I wanted. Perfect picture and sound from what I could tell.
If I moved the game cart it would then go black.
I opened it up and cleaned the board pins and the removable cart pin receptor. It didn’t do anything.
I’m having a hard time figuring out what the issue could be. The board and chips look immaculate.
Are you interested in trying to fix another if I sent it to you and paid you?
It’s been so long since I’ve done any repairs, if I had to guess it’s a dirty cartridge connector since sometimes you get the game to boot up. Clean both the game and the cartridge connector and try again, don’t forget to add the sound module before you test.
Ok thank you for that info.
One last question… is your snes burn in test cartridge authentic?
There are a handful from China for 30 bucks and I’m curious of their effectiveness to test as good as an official one.
Hello, your videos are great, I found you in luck, I have several questions:
What is the temperature you use to desolder the chips?
What heating system do you have?
Where can I find that Snes cartridge?
thank you very much for your videos they are great
350 Celsius.
858D desoldering station. (It’s really cheap but works for me)
Burn in test cart, aliexpress has them.
Thanks for watching
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer Hello, thanks for answering, I was looking for aliexpress but I couldn't find it, you will have the link of the publication.
I bought the Baku 787L and it works fine.
Thank you very much with you learned many things.
If possible add subtitles in Spanish. I would be eternally happy
@@ronaldcarrenobarriga5474 you can go to Spanish subtitles auto generated. They seem pretty accurate to me.
Aliexpress seems to not have them anymore. But this website has them www.ocdreproductions.com/Burn-In_Test_Cart/p1560736_18499139.aspx
What temperature do you usually keep the hot air rework station on to remove those chips
350 Celsius.
Thank you I just bought a hot air rework station. I’ve done a lot of soldering but never with Hot air. I have a messed up board I’m going to practice on.
10:38 watch out, vertical drag soldering is dangerous, you might bend pins if they are soft.
That is very true although with enough practice you learn not to apply too much pressure.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer They might withstand. Doing this at a laptop connector is sure fail because pins are more thin.
I got a super Nintendo It's giving me a black screen I have tried to hook it up to the AV and I've also tried to hook it up the other way with the RF box neither are working does anyone have any ideals what it could be? I've cleaned the console very good This console used to work It was in the shed for years and then finally I pulled it out to look at it and see if it works and I can't get nothing out of it I do know that it works because the power comes on you could see the light and when you try to insert a game you could see on the TV you just can't see the game actually playing It's like a black screen You know when it flickers when you turn it on and off but if anyone can help me please let me know if you have any ideals at all?
A chip may have just degraded over time or moisture got into the console and eaten away a trace or two.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer it was in a my shed for a long time so I say you right about that so far but I think it could be fixed if I had the info I need to fix it I been looking no luck on the internet
Hello my friend. My SNES has sound but no signal on screen. Any suggestions?
Not sure try a different cable and/or different tv.
Will a test cart work if there is no video going to the tv? Wondering what my best bet is. I have two doing the same thing. Power on no problem. Cleaned everything up. And when i put a game in, the tv flickers for a second and goes to a black screen as if it knows it’s getting something but nothing coming through.
Sometimes the burn in test cart will post to a screen when games only post to a black screen. If the TV remains in “no signal” and doesn’t flicker at all the burn in test cart won’t help you.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I ordered a test cart and it should hopefully be here in a few days. If that doesn't work, is there one chip you'd recommend on swapping first? I think I saw on one of your videos was the S-APU was a big one that always needed it on the -1 system. Would I get black screen at all if any of the capacitors were shot? Both systems I am working on definitely go to the black flicker screen. I have a good board I could use for parts, but don't know where to start if that test cart doesn't work. Ive cleaned the cart reader and most of the board already with no luck.
@@wkosnik66 try the test cart I’m willing to bet it will help somewhat. If it doesn’t help, and the board looks clean (no broken traces or corrosion) I would swap the cpu first. Usually with bad APU chips it stills posts to the burn in test cart, and with bad APU chips some games could also show the licensed by Nintendo splash screen like on street fighter and Mario kart
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer 10-4. Fingers crossed the burn in works. I tried Street Fighter and Mario Kart and maybe 10 other games, and get nothing. And they have been cleaned and work on my normal go to system that I play. Any good suggestions on places to get parts/chips if need be, other than eBay? Also, the site I ordered the test cart from that makes repros of it looked somewhat sketchy and no idea if it will even show up. If I have a problem getting the cart to me, any suggestions on a good place to get one from not having to pay $5000 for an official one?
@@wkosnik66 I have a repro too and they work just the same. I think you may have a bad cpu, too bad I don’t know any cheap places to get chips. You could try sourcing some super famicoms they’re cheaper and are fully compatible with Super Nintendos.
I bought a Super Nintendo back in 2016, it's in great condition, but I noticed that there was a rattling sound inside the power jack input port, I took it apart & cleaned it, runs good, is there any way to take it apart more without soldering?
If you took it apart and there was nothing you could see, then try lifting the lid on the small RF modulator you could have something rattling around in there. The power jack port has no space for anything to rattle around.
The RF modulator has a small lid you can pry up with a standard screwdriver.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I just took apart my SNES right now & there is something in the RF modulator, I even took off the rf shielding & removed the screws on the bottom of the board, too bad I don't know how to open the rf modulator box...
@@TherealestAA it has 2 lids one on top and the other on the bottom. The top can be pried off and to remove the bottom lid you have to desolder the modulator.
I have a SNES and I can't get it too work if I could send it would you look @ it
What’s it doing? Black screen? If so, then there really isn’t much I could do since it might need a replacement cpu and I’ve got none on hand.
Never owned a Super Nintendo :( was a genesis Guy Back in the Day. Do you have a shell for this Bad Boy?
I was an nes guy and then I got n64, never had an snes as a kid.
hurray new video! :D
👍
Would you have any idea what could cause a SNES to only output audio and no video? The composite and power cable are good and work on my other SNES. The console and game pins have been cleaned well. The actual SNES console makes a small buzzing sound, and it takes longer than usual to hear the audio start up I think.
Bad caps could cause no video. Try the snes through RF to see if it outputs video to rule out the faulty chips and pin connector.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer Thanks. I'll open it to see if there's any bulging caps and see if RF works.
@@inputfunny sometimes these surface mount caps don’t bulge but rather they leak.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I'll keep that in mind.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I opened the SNES and didn't see any bulging or leaking caps. The game slot was just a little dirty under the removable part, so I cleaned that with 91% Isopropyl alcohol. Trying the SNES with RF; I got no video or audio, but the static did look a little different when it was on. I only get audio with composite after awhile like I said earlier. This is the original SNES with the separate sound board, and I've heard these are pretty unreliable these days.
Amo tus vídeos! Una pregunta, existe continuidad entre los condensadores c64 y c63 (shvc-cpu-01)
No, no debería haber continuidad entre los dos puntos positivos de esos condensadores. Aunque comparten un negativo común, por lo que tendrían continuidad en los puntos negativos.
Muchas gracias!
I started off like that like a noobie with CPU and lifted one of the pads =(
Hey would love to know where you got that cart!
I got mine from a shop on Etsy that seems inactive at the moment. You can also get them on www.OCDreproductions.com
I've got my dad's old snes and several years ago it quit working. Turned on the screen is black with no sound and when switched off the screen flashes and speakers pop from losing power. Would I be better off buying another console or would it be worth trying to fix?
You probably have a bad CPU trying to fix might be just as expensive as trying to find another one.
If your console has a silver serial number sticker on the bottom it’s an early production SNES, if it has a white sticker that’s UN20xxxxxxxx it’s also an early run. Those early units are very prone to CPU and other chip failures.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer it's silver. Un15846676
@@BigMeepsadventures yeah it’s very likely it’s a dead CPU but still try cleaning the games and the cartridge slot sometimes that the real problem.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer what can I clean them with? Also a few of the extra tabs in the game slot on the right side of the console were bent but I straightened them out as best I could. I don't think any of the games I have use those though.
@@BigMeepsadventures if none of the games you have use those tabs, how did they get bent? If 2 pins on the cartridge slot are touching, that can cause black screens. Now I’m thinking you might need to replace the cartridge slot and that’s pretty straight forward. Open up the console take out the pin connector and try a new one, it may solve your problem.
Your video awesome. I have snes, power is on but no signal in my tv, what can i do?? Please answer sir
Try on the AV out also try with RF out see if you can get a signal, remember you need a game inserted to get the console to send a signal to the TV.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer ok sir. what about the 62 pins? is also problematic?
@@Studio92Videorestoration yes that could definitely be a problem, check for corrosion or try to swap out the pin connector if you have another console on hand.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer ok sir thank you
How much would you charge to fix a original super Nintendo entertainment system its the launch day console it has the dedicated sound board I tried everything humanly possible I believe it has the black screen of death I tried cleaning the motherboard and 62 pin connector I'm willing to pay
Sorry for late reply, I wouldn’t be able to repair it because if it needs a new CPU I don’t have any on hand at the moment.
Does the super Nes Burn in test cartridge has a special hardware?, or can I make a replica of its software. I used to make replicas 10 years ago just for fun.
You can make a repro. In fact mine is a repro.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer Thank you. Can I get a dump Binary if you have any? Please.
Wondering how get super Famicom pcb's from Japan.
@@svsv9 idk how to make repros I bought mine.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I may help with that. I'd like if we can join forces to find contact from people living in Japan, in order to get PPU, CPUC IC'S ect.
nice work, putting a wire instead of the fuse kills the console eventually
i don’t recommend doing that.
That was previous owner
@PunkNDisorderlyGamer yes i know , i’m just giving an advice to people that don’t know that it kills the consoles cuz it happened to me
Retro Algeria you still got that console?
PunkNDisorderlyGamer yes i do , now it gives me a black screen of death
Retro Algeria oh so it turns on, but give you a black screen? Yeah it’s possible you by passed the snes fuse protection and fried another component. But I’m willing to bet the cpu and ppus are still in good shape it’s still worth hanging on to the console for parts.
How can I send u my console
So I just ordered the special screw drivers to open the Super NES, I have one that only has a Black screen but when I switch it on the TV video port reports a NTSC signal but no audio or video. I already cleaned the cartridges & the NES contacts without any change. Any ideas?
It could be many things. I’ve since stopped doing repairs and forgot some of what I learned. Sorry if this doesn’t help. Try to see if you can run the burn in test cart through an ever drive or try to buy one off aliexpress to see if the console boots.
If u use a air blower on chips, the will place themself in the right place allmost every time.
How can I send you my SNES to be fix? Thanks
Hello Im from Peru. The screen loks like green when play snes. Many people say that problem its the motherboard. Can you help me how fix mi snes. I can play but the screen looks any green

Congrats my guy from Sicily Island. 👍Hey, aren’t you the guy that called me a donkey a few months ago? Lmfao🤣
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer yes, but now you its ok 😁
Hey quick question any idea on how to fix a snes that plays the game cart but the video is upside down?
Probably a bad PPU. That’s really odd, got any video?
How many do you need and what are you willing to pay. I have a bunch I haven't had time to fix yet or have pulled stuff from. Maby we can even do a trade. If I throw you 10 maby you can fix 5 and keep the rest of the parts or something along those lines.
I can do them myself but I don't have time at the moment. Usually wait till winter but even then I have a garadge full of sega and Atari consoles i can work on.
paul lanier well if they’re all black screens it might be hard to come up with 5 out of 10 due to being mostly caused by bad CPUs. If they have graphic problems but they still run maybe they could be repaired. We could probably work something out none the less. When you have a chance take a look at what you have and write down a quick log of the symptoms. Remember I’m in no rush if you get to it in the winter or next year that’s fine, don’t inconvenience yourself.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I'll put a good variety of stuff. There are a few no power a few have vertical lines and a few with corrosion and a few with red wavy screens or green wavy screens. Plus I'll throw in a few extra boards I bought from someone he also had a bunch of random chips he said were good but I haven't had time to use any to test so who knows with them it was a flea market buy. I'll probably throw you 10 boards to start I'll lable what I can but a few of the boards I bought from the flea are missing powers and fuses so I may or may not try to power those to test. I'll go through what I have and let you know. Problem is finding time. If you go through them all and there's not enough cpu's let me know and I'll test send more. So are the famicom cpu chips identical?
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer if you have fb look me up I'm from North Tonawanda ny and you have my name. Send me a message on messenger and we can talk further
paul lanier famicom boards would be 100% just as good for me. Let me know I’ll send you shipping if you want I just need boards no SHVC sound modules, shells, power switches, or controller ports etc. I don’t even care if the back power port plastic piece is missing. Even if the board is cracked or rusted to hell, may still have value in chips.

cant believe that i found a real life morty!
Aw jeez.
Amigo tengo una snes con esa mismo tipo de placa.el test no se aprecia muestra caracteres como letras sera un ppu2
Im not really sure if it’s PPU2 or something else. Do games run? Or does it black screen? If you’re getting distortion it could be capacitors, if you’re getting bad sprites or jumbled graphic layers it could be a bad ppu1 or ppu2, or even a bad vram. But in all honesty, CPU failures are the most common among the older first generation boards.
Amigo gracias por contestar!!!
El test de nintendo lo reproduce con sprites(como letras,probe un juego el top gear solo audio aveces una pantaya azul y el titulo se ve como desordenado.cambie condesadores el tesultado el mismo
@@armandj2011 yeah if you changed the capacitors, it could be CPU is bad. Sorry my brother.
Amigo encontre 2 cpu son modelo B .hay comflicto la que trae la placa es una con modulo de sonido.funcionan igual o traen alguna mejora osea son compatibles?gracias de antemano.
@@armandj2011 yeah they are compatible, CPU ,CPU-A, CPU-B.
long shot but can you sell me some spare IC chips? CPU/PPU1/PPU2 ?
I don’t have any CPUs at all, when I do I put them on working boards. PPUs I do have some but they are on boards that I probably pulled the cpu because of of the PPUs were bad.
It’s easier to purchase some super famicoms even in untested state they’re real cheap and you should get a few working CPUs and PPUs between the lot you buy.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer thanks for the reply just hope i can find some good deals now and hope the chips work haha love the vids btw :)
Hello, I really like your snes repair videos and I want to ask you, I have 2 bad consoles, both of them do not shoot video, I can send them to you and you repair them and I pay you for your service, I will be awaiting your response.
