Corrosion getting into a sealed chip is pretty rare. I would think it's far more likely that the electrolytic just damaged the connections to the board and possibly are still in operable condition internally.
@@LIRetroGaming Yeah, it was a good save that I enjoyed watching (And I'm looking forward to seeing you get the CRT up and running well in a future video). I'd be curious if you ever decide to clean up some of these proprietary chips that are written off and test them down the road, just in case poor connections were the original issue. Might make for an entertaining video in its own right. Most likely I suspect, you called it in this particular case when you talked about the environment this board was located in. Probably cooked to death these two chips thanks to that proximity to the CRT, with the capacitor damage not the primary culprit behind their demise.
How good to see this outstanding repair on such outstanding piece of history! Well done! Just being curious, would it be possible to perform a SuperCIC mod on it too? Looking forward for more great videos to come!
If you gonna reinstallitback into the sf1 tv set, i would highly suggest you to shield it with metal shielding along with heating conductors on each chip to protect and to conduct away all access generated heat from the crt to increase it’s lifespan. Great restoration dude.
If you are doung such repairs on a regular level, I'd suggest to create a test bench for the chips, by replacing the chips with sockets for easy swapping.
Yeah I think what I would need is some kind of socket for these chips. I’m just not sure if a socket exists for that form factor since these were custom chips
I posted a similar comment on the other video... The cap juice might just have ruined the connections, meaning the chips themselves might still be fine and just need cleaning and resoldering.
I love seeing old consoles come back to life. I have a turbo express that is in need of repair it was recapped once a long time ago but now i smell fish oil and there is no video and very little sound. I live in long island and would like to have this system repaired please let me know if i can send it to you. Thanks and love the videos.
@@LIRetroGaming ok awesome sir thank you. How should i contact you through the website or some other way ?? Thanks again oh and i don’t have any social media accounts that’s why I’m asking.
Hey, a really great video, I have a question, I bought a 14-inch model, everything goes, but the game is in black and white, do you have any idea why? thanks in advance
@@LIRetroGaming hey thanks for the feedback I just connected a Gamecube but the picture shakes and it's still displayed to me in black and white do you mean it's still the Super Nintendo which is installed is defective
@@LIRetroGaming thanks for replying. I think mine blew a cap when i plugged it. It turns on for like a few seconds then powers off. Is this a simple fix
Heyyyy man i just watch u fix a n64 Pikachu edition with no sound and u replaced the chip that was Faulty bc i just picked one up and it has no sound but everything runs fine and i see in a lot n64 that is the common thing with them but idk Where to get one of those chips with out buying another N64
I kept it because there are other good chips on there that I can use to fix other super Nintendo’s. This one had a rusted out cartridge slot so it’s not usable but has plenty of good parts
It's always nice to see one of these old consoles come back from the dead.
Yeah it’s certainly did feel good to see this thing working again
@@LIRetroGaming Quick question. How does rare tech like this get resurrected, when the parts for it are often...rare?
Corrosion getting into a sealed chip is pretty rare. I would think it's far more likely that the electrolytic just damaged the connections to the board and possibly are still in operable condition internally.
Yeah I thought about that as well after the fact. But either way I’m just happy to have this thing working

I don't know how you don't have way more subscribers. Been watching you about a year now. Awesome work
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it and hopefully the channel keeps growing!
Very logical approach to repair. I like it.
Thanks, I hope that showing the methodology is helpful to others, even if they are repairing something totally different
How good to see this outstanding repair on such outstanding piece of history! Well done!
Just being curious, would it be possible to perform a SuperCIC mod on it too? Looking forward for more great videos to come!
Thanks so much! Yes. I believe it’s possible to do a superCIC mod on this board, It has all the same parts as a standard super Famicom
@@LIRetroGaming looking forward for a neat SuperCIC mod then, as it seems nobody has pulled through on a Sharp SF-1 so far!
Your videos are so nice and interesting to watch. Good job, as always!
Thanks, I appreciate it and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
great repairing skills men

Great restoration dude.
Yes, I ended up doing exactly that so that I can increase the lifespan of these chips. Now hopefully I can get that CRT repaired!
@@LIRetroGaming we will count on you👍

That’s entirely possible, although they did look like they were attached to the board. I did end up keeping them so eventually I will test
6:00 ah yes the THAAAAAAAT ST test very useful
Lol faulty ram is always entertaining

Yes that’s something I can fix. Right now I’m catching up on orders but I should be ready for new orders in about 2 weeks

Awesome video,you got that board working very quickly.
As for the crt the yoke could be at fault,have you measured the impedance on the yoke.
Yes it’s a bad yoke and I’m hopefully going to get it fixed soon
Wow this is so cool.
Good Stuff. 👍
Aww sweet I love the HAAAAAAAAT ST, thanks Nintendo service cartridge
Hey, a really great video, I have a question, I bought a 14-inch model, everything goes, but the game is in black and white, do you have any idea why? thanks in advance
Yes, it looks like the chroma connection to the CRT has been cut. This is something that I can fix and I cover this in my Sharp sf1 videos
@@LIRetroGaming hey thanks for the feedback I just connected a Gamecube but the picture shakes and it's still displayed to me in black and white do you mean it's still the Super Nintendo which is installed is defective
Why didn't try to reflow the contacts first?
awesome, i try to get one, but cost very high even for junk condition... T.T
Do you need a voltage converter or can you directly plug it to outlet in the US?
It works directly with the a us outlet

Hi
How can I send consoles in for modification?
You can contact me at my website, it is listed in the description of the video
What happened to the donor board?
I kept it because there are other good chips on there that I can use to fix other super Nintendo’s. This one had a rusted out cartridge slot so it’s not usable but has plenty of good parts
