Classic Super Nintendo (SNES) Repair Help

[Simplicity]

Me and the kid really like playing not only new, but the retro games as well. We have the Genesis/SNES/Playstation1 for old systems.

With no audio/video, the games are not booting the system. Almost always the culprit is the pins. Inserting/ejecting the games a whole bunch of times worked on my old system and a buddies. This scrapes and cleans the pins.

Not sure if this link will help you. This vid says 9 times out of 10 with a "No Signal" issue, pins need to be cleaned

Thanks! I tried what he showed and still nothing. The SNES sends a signal, but there is no video or audio.

Curious what games you got with it.

Can't help with you problem, but that's a cool console. I remember hours of playing Street Fighter 2, Mario Kart and Star Fox at my mates. I had a Sega Megadrive (Genesis) for those outside the UK, and although I had Street Fighter 2, with only 3 buttons you had to hit the select button to switch between punch and kick. HADOUKEN!!

I did later have an N64, and Goldeneye was an absolute classic.

you didn't have one of those six button controllers?

@mikethompson , I know this thread is a little old, but did you ever get it working?

If not, and you haven't taken it apart yet. Please dont. I know a bit about retro gaming and there are some things that you can try before getting to that point.

Mani used to play the hell out of Donkey Kong. I remember I also had the cart that allowed you to play Gameboy games on the SNES. Those were the days....

Yes!

I sent it out to a repair place in Edmonton and they replaced a chip on the motherboard. Worked great for a few months, then I sent it back under warranty. They fixed it again and its perfect.

Oh man! I wore out 2 goldeneye cartridges! My wife is a huge Mario fan so i set up sa plug and play system for her using a raspberry pi and retro controllers then promptly installed goldeneye and listen to her yell at me that it was her turn for a week lol. My kids got me into fossil fighters on the game boy and we would sit around playing it at night (father son time you know). My kids are grown now so i installed an emulator on my phone and now teach the grandkids how to hunt for fossils and fight with dinosaurs lol.

Have you tried blowing into the area where the games dock?

I have interest in game development and making rpg for smartphones. Building the website is just the first step. Managing a website after it’s built is when the real work begins. When deciding between a freelancer and a professional agency, consider the ongoing management and support services your small business will need after the website is delivered. Also will get help from spam URL deleted.

Anyone else a fan of Romance of the III Kingdoms and other similar titles? I've been looking for an affordable online version for a while.

Good folks:

When you spot a bit of spam, hidden carefully in a normal looking post, do not quote it, at least with the link in tact.

Please PM a mod who's online at the time you spot it.
