Fixing a Super NES with no video output

Fixing a Super NES with no video output
Can I get it working?

[@Pulverrostmannen]

The Cartridge connector on the snes is actually not directly soldered to the board, it is pushed on to a primary connector, here is where most issues occur, you can gently pry off this top connector after you remove the two screws holding it in place and clean those connections as well for better stability. nice work getting the cable apart. you can also get an RGB cable which gives the best possible picture quality

There are 2 snes cartridge connector types. One is soldered directly to the board. The other type isn't. I believe this model came with the one soldered to the board

[@Pulverrostmannen]

@@justinlira1841 at least where I live I never seen the other type. But it looks like a single soldered part when mounted as you still solder the bottom part to the board. Could be different depending where you live. I have loads of new you can split. It fits the same way when you press it together

Im going to try to fix mine just like that, it has the same problem, gonna have to do some tests, i learned a lot thanks 😁

[@WorldOfKidz_Toys]

Great video and some useful tips to find a fix. I do have a question though. Our Super Nintendo Switches on (power) has sound and shows up visually on the our LG tv, like yours. However, after around 20/30 seconds the screen fades out and the sound remains. Would you happen to know why this is happening?

What you have (had) there was a late model (1-chip) SNES. These are sought after due to them having superior quality video output compared to the earlier 2-chip models

I hope you will continue making more content!

Wow great video!

[@jellybeans7737]

Great video nice explaining !!!

[@espiritujesusa]

Sir what if the red light is blinking? And also no video just blinking light? I've bought the same one but i can't use it.

[@h.celine9303]

Try another game. Blinking light is pretty unusual, the only reason I can think of off the top of my head is that the lockout chip on the cartridge is faulty (or it's a wrong region one).

[@phifediggy9659]

Nice fix, I'd of prolly been fault finding the console for hours. Just goes to show, don't listen to the seller's diagnosis as it can throw you off finding the actual fault

[@TechnoWaffol]

Nice job!

[@Edgecrusher66]

i have this exact same problem with the snes. it powers on, but no video signal

[@cutemimi25]

Have you tried another cable or use the same video cable on a N64 or GameCube?

[@rafapena8411]

Hey, I opened the snes, unpluged the controller slot thing and when I pluged it again it wouldnt turn on, what can that be? Nice video by the way

[@turji]
