My first serious repair attempt, burn in cart shows either black screen or garbled graphics. Swapped ppu1 and ppu2, still the same. Noticed the corrosion on wram pin 2 and 3, patched and working Thank you for the video! Mana music too 😊
That’s incredible, this is a perfect example on why it’s hard to diagnose a problem over a comment, I would’ve just told you it’s most likely a bad cpu. A visual look at the board is the best way to diagnose problems. Congrats on the repair.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I was going to desolder the cpu next but after seeing another one of your videos you said cpu-b are less likely to fail- which is what i had Thank you sir
Well you could use a pair of tweezers to hold your magnawire in place while soldering. Your iron tip could also be a bit finer/smaller in order to avoid heat-stressing the solder pads/traces and allow more precise work. Don't get me wrong, when a reflow has to be be done, the large tip you're using is perfect. But for this kind of jobs, finer is better. You could also tin the exposed copper after using the fiber glass pen to protect it from oxydation and then remove the excess with solder braid. This would also look very neat.
Hell yeah, brother! When working with wire that size, I find it helps a lot to use a good pair of tweezers at the end you're soldering to in order to keep the wire steady. God bless you for doing that without a microscope. My blind ass wouldn't have been able to do it.
yeah that a good point what tweezers do you recommend? I have a cheap pair that came in a kit with other "tools" that the tips are bend and don't pinch real well.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer Where you been at? Come back to us, BB! =) I missed your reply. I just use these cheap tweezers. I am hoping to find a good set that don't bend at the tip but these are okay. Better than the HAKKO on Amazon (not sure if those are legit HAKKO or not) and far cheaper. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JPYPXN9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a very similar issue. The burn in cart is the only one that shows an image and the moment I select any of the tests, it freezes. Would love to know if there is a fix.
How many times have you dealt with an APU failure? I was testing a board, and got APU BB failure on my test cart. I don’t have another removable sound board to swap out. It would boot, no sound, and some glitchy graphics. Thoughts? I can probably stumble across another SHVC SOUND unit. But not sure if it’s possible something else caused it to fail. I have another board that does have the little female port that the sound board goes in. I could swap those out.
I'd love to see sources for the music! It's one of the most relaxing parts about your channel! I know one is Chrono trigger but I cant place the other one...
Mine is a repro I got a while back on Etsy. The guy has since closed his shop, but you can still one here. www.ocdreproductions.com/BurnIn_Test_Cart/p1560736_18499139.aspx
Thank you very much for your SNES Repair Videos. These Videos help some users of our SNES Board and im really appreciate that you dont cut in the Video bad experience with soldering and share everything true how it is. I like it a lot. Do you know a place where i can buy specific SNES Chips instead of buying a complete new console?
Thanks for watching I’m glad the videos help you guys out. As far as chips, no I don’t know where to buy chips, these are proprietary 1st party chips from nintendo. Cheapest solution is to buy super Famicom consoles and salvage those.
You and Voultar have alot in common, You both are my favorite RU-vidrs and You both post a Video and Disappear for long periods of time lol...Stop having a life and post more Videos Damnit lol... Glad to see a new Video...
Do you know if an older, removable 62 pin connector can be soldered to a newer 1 chip motherboard? I have a 1 chip 02 with bent pins that won't go past game intros and an extra older, removable type pin connector.
Great question, yes you can desolder the newer pin connector and install an original removable one. The connector has no position you can insert it in anyway. This is often a good thing to do because it allows you to replace the pin connector or even clean it better in the future.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer Thanks. I wanted to make sure since I read someone write that putting in the connector the wrong way can cause weird things to happen in games or something along those lines. I'm guessing they didn't know what they were talking about.
@@inputfunny yes that’s a common misconception you can try it for yourself it’s not true, a clean cart connector can be placed in any way. I’ve heard many rumors some believe the RF shield on the bottom and top somehow grounds the snes and allows it to work, fact is the RF shields are for FCC compliance, some regulations, or even to clean up the RF signal a bit, you can discard them and the snes will work just fine.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I'd rather keep them so the console is complete, but thanks for letting me know. I've heard about the top shield needing to be installed for it to work. There's lots of misinformation in the gaming community. Lol.
As far as disc based systems go, Sega CD is super duper simple. Edit: I'd love to see you do a video where you put a model 2 Sega cd and genesis into a Saturn shell. I'd love that
I actually did fix a Sega CD in the past, I didn't record it though :( As far as the Sega CD genesis in a Saturn shell that's a cool idea I'll have to brainstorm, no promises though.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I give you this challenge because you were up for the Neptune. Yeah Sega CD repair is actually quite boring. Recap, change the battery, change the fuse. Maybe change the laser pickup.
@@Serpicoitalia I tried to get another one out, but I had a busy day hopefully with in a day or 2 I should have another up. The next few videos are going to be Super Nintendo/ super famicom repairs.
Hey PunkNDisorderlyGamer, I was wondering if you could help me I have 2 SNES consoles acting up in similar ways (SHVC-CPU-01 and SNS-CPU-GPM-01) Cleaning or Capacitor replacement does not solve it. I was just wondering if you had any idea off hand of which chip might need swapping. The issue is that they won't go past the intro screen for example Aladdin says Capcom (has sound) and shows a bit of the intro video and then nothing after that just black or eventually a glitched out screen with white checkered pattern. And also are the main chips on SHVC-CPU-01 and SNS-CPU-GPM-01 interchangeable?
Both of those are probably dead CPUs. The main chips are interchangeable, keep in mind PPU1 and PPU2s aren’t the same chip, you cannot replace a PPU1 with a PPU2.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer thanks for your reply. i finally got my burn-in test rom to work on my rom cart. i'm certain my 2 SHVC-CPU-01 boards are cpu issues based on the symptoms the test cart won't run on those. I got the test cart results on the SNS-CPU-GPM-01 and it says APU BB Fail, this board doesn't have a APU chip so is it the DSP or SMP chip what do you think?
@@mattb8124 yup but those chips I usually remove with chipquik because the heat usually kills those from my experience. Try to run some games on the bad APU board and see if you get a Nintendo title screen, games like super street fighter or super Mario kart will show a Nintendo logo or licensed by Nintendo and lock up. What you can do if you’re planing on trying to get one console to work you could remove the CPU chip from the bad APU and put it on one of the other boards with bad CPUs. Keep in mind it’s a pretty difficult job if you haven’t done it before.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer so i got all 3 boards working. i ordered working chips online. I replaced the SMP and DSP chips on the GPM board and it worked out. Thanks a lot for your help, now i have 6 working SNES instead of just 3. i will be selling some eventually.
your videos are very cool, you know I tried at the time to make a type c mod to my snes, but I did it wrong and I think I burned something and now only turns on but does not give image, I bought a super famicon to continue using my games but I would like to repair my original snes, do you know what could be what would have to change?
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U-6q5Ssq7XM.html I did this mod, but the picture was with interference, so I used the alternative power transformer I always used and with that I think I fried something, in fact my sd2snes also died with my Super nintendo, after that it wouldn't give picture or turn on, I removed the fuse and made a jumper to turn it on but I don't know if that was worse or not, at least it turns on but it doesn't give picture.
@@LaCuevadelElfo if it turns on try cleaning the game and trying again. It shouldn’t have fried anything. Also, I’m not quite sure why someone would want to bypass the voltage regulator and a lot of the protection components of the SNES. Before the output of the regulator you’ve got a diode, fuse, common mode choke, and a varistor. Edit: also I just noticed he bridged the output and input pins on the voltage regulator so plugging in a normal adaptor will be sending 9-12 volts to the output pin of the regulator instead of 5v. Unless I’m missing something.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I followed the video as shown, but I connected the transformer that I used before, without thinking that there would be no more security for the console, so I think that something is fried :c, I have tried cleaning the games and all that, but I think it's the console, because in the other snes they work.
whenever i take apart stock consoles and go to clean them the board always ends up sticky no matter ho wmuch 99% IPA i use on it... any suggestions for getting rid of residue from the manufacturing process?
You can use acetone(nail polish remover) to remove flux also. Be careful however because acetone can damage the board if you put too much and scrub too hard.
@@StephenMooreOfficial It wont hurt the components no, maybe it will take the writings off if you are not careful but the real danger is that it can remove the mask. If you put too much for too long and scrub too hard you run the risk of exposing your traces. Realistically speaking the only thing that risk ruining the components when you open it up for cleaning is dropping something on the board. Heat can also damage components but its not really an issue if youre just cleaning.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer in fact the 12volts of the power supply arrives at the ci 7805 but at the output of the 7805 regulator it is only at 4.95 volts and it overheats and the image disappears from the game
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer absence of current at the output of the 5volts of the ci 7805 that feeds the rest of the snes plate at the output of the 5volts is 4.95 volts and adds the image of the game.  absence of current at the output of the 5volts of the ci 7805 that feeds the rest of the snes plate at the output of the 5volts is 4.95 volts and adds the image of the game. 
that's right I have 12v at the input of the 7805 but at the output of the 7805 I do not have the 5v only at 4.95 v and it seems that some component on the snes board is consuming the 5v sera that has some components in short ????
can you help me find a snes burn in file in .bin (for m27c801) format my snes rom utility errors out with every burn in test rom i try and when i just put the rom on my eprom it loads but the screen is red and most words cant be seen i ve reached out on to repro groups on face book with no luck i ve made many nes and snes games but this ones kicking my ass nice work man just sub'ed but watch you vid's often
