Yeah I got a bunch of snes and sfc repair videos recorded I’ve been meaning to edit and upload. I was thinking of not editing or uploading them since it’s starting to feel repetitive. IDK yet.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer didn't see this until now. Glad you didn't pump them out though. I liked you splitting them up and having a little bit to watch over a couple days.
Mine's PCB is shorted after attempting a recap for the ceramic PPU2 caps, I am sure I was careful while removing the tiny caps so Idk what went wrong. I already gave up tracing the possible short-circuit spot using a constant current source to see if anything heats or to see tiny voltage drops. Any advice is welcome.
unrelated to your video but I was curious if youve ever seen a SNES that could read some games with no issue but would trip up the piracy protections on some other games. I already swtiched the CIC chip, the WRAM and the voltage regulator on that snes and the problem persist. Me and friend are kind of at a loss here. We dont have access to a test run cart though, so it might be obvious when you got one of these.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer We did the connection test between the card slot and the CIC chip so were pretty sure this isnt the issue. Ill check under the connector either because at this point im willing to try just about anything. Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it.
on the megadrive 2 i have adapted a 12 volt 2 ampere power supply instead of its 10 volt, the machine works fine, but do you know if this is dangerous? I'm sorry you don't do anything for megadrives, they are beautiful console
I think so, try AliExpress they should have some cheap repros. Remember this cart is just a tool it doesn’t need to be fancy. I got mine off Etsy but the shop I bought mine from shut down last I remembered.
So it took almost a year to get my SNES back from that shop in Orlando that we talked about. They told me it was repaired and it’s still messed up. Any chance you’re still willing to fix it? It’ll definitely make a good video.
Dang it’s been a while. I’m actually not taking in any repairs at that moment. I’ve rejected many requests already. That sucks that shop wasted your time like that.
Have you thought of running a side-job for fixing up SNES's, or do you think it really wouldn't be worth the time and effort because they usually don't sell for that much money? Surely you sell off most of the SNES's you fix and don't hoard them in your closet right? Lol.
I’ve since sold most of the stuff I fixed. To various different people, friends and some I’ve even traded into a local game shop. Most of this is for fun, needless to say I’ve had enough of SNES repairs for a while.
@@PunkNDisorderlyGamer I think TronicsFix bought 13 broken PS5s from somewhere. I hear people are rough with the HDMI ports on newer consoles and those need to be replaced pretty often. Maybe they drop the console and break the port; I don't know. It's a mystery. The last thing I would do is buy a $500 console and be rough with it.
