Awesome video. I'd be intimidated to try to replace that chip. I haven't ever done anything like that. It's a shame that you cant get aftermarket CPUs and PPUs. It would be my luck that I would buy two junk NESs and they would both have the same issue!
Was there anything visually you could see with the CPU that was wrong? I’m looking at my board and I don’t see any corrosion or anything but I’m having graphical issues. The only place I see corrosion is on the capacitors.
I had similar problems in gameboy carts and solved most of the with a pin reflow, would it be posible that a Bad detecte ram could be cause by a CPU that got a loose pin?
Need help with an issue - Just recently replaced/soldered a new power port (old skool) for my Super Nintendo. After I did this, it erased all my saved data on Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars. Both batteries in both cartridges are fine - this issue only starting happening after I replaced the power port. Thanks for any help!
Also, do you have more information on that snes cartridge/rom for testing? Just getting into snes repair after not doing small electronic repair for years.
Burn-in Cart link: www.ocdreproductions.com/BurnIn_Test_Cart/p1560736_18499139.aspx The goo is just simple soldering flux I purchased off Amazon. It helps the solder flow more freely, thus making it easier to remove the chip 👍🏼
@@cubang71 Thank you! That is really helpful. I look forward to future videos. Any idea what would cause video to "pulse"? Like the brightness goes dim and bright again. subtle, but noticable.
i know this is old but did you try electrical contact cleaner on the video out and cables and tv input? Ive had some weird issues with dirty cables and ports. My ps3 hdmi signal was going crazy on me turned out to be a dirt port on the tv.
@@DoodMang7 yes , i tried cleaning all parts, replace some component like capacitor, 7805, and some stuf.... now my snes not working because i made a short int the cic. no sound no video.. so i buy other console.
I’ve been searching all over RUclips to figure out how to fix the composite video on a first gen Snes with the big sound card, it gets power and I can even hear audio, but all you see is “the black screen of death” any ideas? Ive bathed this entire system head to toe in alcohol and tested continuity of connectors also
If you have good audio of the game playing but a complete black screen I would suspect a bad capacitor. You can get an entire capacitor kit from Console5.com just make sure you get the kit for your model. That’s probably where I would start. If that doesn’t fix it then I would think one of the chips is bad. Most likely CPU or PPU chips. But start with the capacitors. That’s likely the issue
I'm glad there are resources like that ROM and website to go at this from a deliberate angle rather than replacing everything.
Excellent video. Still helping in 2023 🥳

You did good, you didn’t cut any corners and got great results!👍👍

Hello. Did you try to push with a finger the CPU? In case it was only a bad joint problem.
What is that cartridge and how to get ahold of one? Or even something similar. it would be nice to diagnose my problem without guessing.
Type “SNES Burn In Test Cart” on google and you’ll see several places to get one
I wanted look for this question before asking it. 😂 👍
Isn't there a quicker and more efficient way to solder that chip on the board?
How come you don’t use hot air to place the new chip? Just curious, seems more tedious to solder each leg, but I’ve never done it myself!

my console pass all check ok, but i have vertical lines in the screen
If I had to take a guess I would say PPU1 or PPU2 chip(s) are bad
Is it faint? If there are very slight hazy lines in the middle of the screen, try replacing the voltage regulator and do a recap first.

@@shawnnowell7769 Keep me posted!
My first generation snes have black screen but it have game sounds. Audio video cable is fine
Check capacitors.
what is that black magic with the goo and a heater!? I know how to do basic soldering, but just lifting that chip right off was awesome.
where i send my snes to you fix my bad graphics?
Where can I get the burn in test?
I found one on Aliexpress
where to get that chip?
You have to take it from another broken console with a different problem. These chips are not available for purchase
This is not repair,, this is trasplant.😅
