Im the guy who recommended for you to check the brazillian service manual, good to see that it will result in a translated manual for everyone fixing snes's. That priority table is a must have in conjunction of the burn-in cart. In my experience fixing snes's, Mario Kart, Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country are the ones that most easily show you faults related to PPU/CPU and VRAM (even the misterious ones the burn-in test doesn't catch) , so always have them nearby.

It's always a pleasure to see SNES repairs, especially when they're successful. Really neat work. ✌

Love the use of fume extractor!

[@PunkNDisorderlyGamer]

I’ve never seen bouncy mode 7, or erratic controller inputs like that. I’ve had bad mode 7 in various other ways, and I’ve had CPU fails with controller inputs, but never with the controller idle. Very good to know. Good job 👍

[@EvilCoopra]

Hey PunkNDisorderlyGamer, really cool to see you here in the comments 😄

[@gam85191]

PPU failures on the older 2-chip revision is quite common

[@RetroShare2]

Maybe it's worth checking the chip legs and reflow them before replacing them.

[@Padoca]

Playtronic was the official distribuitor for Nintendo products in Brazil. Tec Toy for Sega.

[@rimmersbryggeri]

I think maybe you should try resoldering the chips before they are condemned. Might be throwing out some good chips unless you are doing it later. In vehicle diagnostics if there are multible indiscript errors there is often a power supply problem, I dont know if that applied here.

[@SireSquish]

Have you tried using the more paste-like/gel flux? That liquid flux seems to be spent very quickly.

[@Chriva]

You should be able to fat32 from the disk management console (right click start)

[@Megatog615]

even though the manual says to change ppu-1 on that high ram failed board i think you should try changing the sram first if only because it seems like it's something you have more of

[@luke9511]

i wonder if the cpu was bad or if the issue was the cart port

[@shangrilai1990]

😢I was across getting some pizza so instead of your cookie you may have 🍕

[@TheRetroChannel]
