Super Famicom And Snes Black And White Video Problem Repair

[@DannyCD]

Someone actually was selling a Super Nintendo for like $80 with this problem on ebay and wrote in the description "Rare Super Nintendo that plays in B&W! This is a rare defect from the factory and you can enjoy your games in good 'ol fashion B&W!" I messaged him telling him he's an ass for making a listing like that and reported him.

[@darktetsuya]

yay! another Super Famicom successfully repaired! always loved watching the process of repairing damaged systems and games and watching them come back to life! awesome video as always, dood!

[@radarlockeify]

Welcome back! Hurrah! More repairs!

[@einsp227]

Great video Luke. One thing i would like to see is more of the process of you actually doing the repair instead of just a cut away.

[@Briskel2]

You're back on youtube! So excited!

[@ravagingwolverine]

Always good to see a great, classic game system saved from disposal due to a relatively simple problem. I always enjoy these repair videos. They are some of my favorites. I have a Genesis model 2 with some cracked solder joints that I need to attempt a repair on. It's a later revision so it has the audio fixed from previous revisions making it particularly worth restoring to working order.

[@CRTcade]

Great work on that SFC Luke! It's also cool to see that you've already starting setting up the new room too, can't wait to see it in action!

[@areanem]

Dude awesome fix! Now i need to go back and find a video where you go into more detail about patching broken paths. Thanks again for the tip!

[@EvilMetabee12]

Woot! Gaming videos, moving videos, Japan scenery videos...you got everything! Thanks and happy to see you back! ^___^

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

You can fix almost anything! You never give up on these great machines !

[@amplibax8]

Glad to see you're back. You'll have to do a tour of the new apt

[@en4ce_]

graz luke! 1st repair in a looong time :)

[@davidmccabe4]

yeessssss, great to have you back Luke, missed your uploads from my subscription box.

[@Glensidebhoy]

glad to see you back Lukey Bhoy!!

[@FoulmouthgamerZ]

Awesome video as always Luke, good to have you back! ^_^

[@RetroGamerVX]

Wow, I'd have spent ages trying to just jump the small broken bit, not thinking to jump the entire trace :o)

[@TheHareidGamer]

Great to see you back, I have finally got myself into repairing a Wells Gardner K7000 board for a buddy. Nonetheless, you were the inspiration for repairing it!

[@Wormetti]

Retro repairs are the best. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to hear about your move and your new house (edit: I totally missed the moving video).

[@moomert1]

Yes! Another Dr. Luke repair video.

[@EaglesNestOne64]

Thanks so much for this video! I have a different model (a PAL 1CHIP) with the black screen of death issue. After watching, I noticed a cooked trace near the same area as you pointed to. On my model, the cart wasn't booting because the blown trace was going to the CIC. Sure enough, a jumper wire fixed it! CHEERS!

[@KevinTwiner]

Great to see a new video on some video game stuff! And you having some fun playing Luke...hope all is well in your new place.

[@SLASHISAWHORE]

Another one saved from the grave! haha nice goin' man! It's good to have you back!

[@TheUnknownL]

Glad to have you back luke! And what a great choice of game! F-ZERO rocks!

[@jorgecuelar3391]

As always great to see another vid keep em coming luke :-)

[@JMLRetroRoom]

As I've said before, you're the "Video Game Resurrector." Luke Morse VGR. I own all rights to that name(s) prior to this sentence. By accepting this (these) name(s), you're legally bound but not limited to 1) the resurrection of dead consoles 2) continue providing video footage (proof) of repair and 3) to change your introduction from "Alright, back again Luke here" to "Alright, back again Luke (Morse) VGR." Lol, I was bored and yet happy to see your repair videos :)

[@worldgate989]

I think he says Bakugan...

[@NiteJerk]

***** I thought the same thing for a very long time but I was wrong. He does actually say, "Alright, back again. Luke, here."

[@worldgate989]

***** Weird, i thought he was like, explosive and exploding back onto youtube.

[@ZombieAben]

Love your videos Luke. Have fun moving. :) Best wishes from Denmark.

[@rhodesy761uk]

nice to see you back Luke

[@Waifu4Life]

Great to have you back Luke. So, when do we get to have a tour of your new place?

[@Floydzabarber]

Awesome video Luke, you inspired me.

[@KevinTwiner]

he inspired me too Floyd an so do you...dig your xbox 128 upgrade work.have a great weekend

[@CSIG1001]

luke just a recommendation for future videos when working on boards. Can you get yourself a lamp with bright white or day light to shine on the board while filming? This would make the video more pleasing to the eye when viewing. I am a newbie for fixing electronics but would like to learn more. Where do you buy that type of wire or is it just a standard gauged you can buy at your local hardware store?

[@MRSTU1210]

Nice fix luke looks very colourful, i have a spare snes tried fixing it but i just get a black screen of nothing,i have replaced the pico fuse still just a black screen,any ideas what might fix this?

[@thehumbleone1983]

Great video Luke just like wit all ur helpful vids they are fantastic thank you

[@theizekgamerandbob6438]

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!

[@MysticGargoyle]

It will be cool to see your finished game room :)

[@Jallge]

Nice work, Luke. YOU DA MAN! I'm dying to ask, do you actually repair electronics for a living?

[@MannyRiberaOriginal]

where do you get that wire? and what if i use an rf cable. will that solve the b&w issue that occurs when using the av input?

[@dkopowa]

how you scratch the surface so well without breaking the copper part of the traces?

[@vougbour1]

Awesome fix mate. One of my american super nintendo was displaying in black and white. I resolved it by replacing the crystal oscillator. The part was 21.47727 hz

[@MrXinsizionx]

Welcome back

[@RETROGAMERDicas]

Hello friend, I have the same problem !! tested but the way in which his was broken, the mine is ok, but still follows black and white .... what other way could be ?? my plate is the same model as yours, identical.

[@Zentheninja]

Got a super famicom off of eBay a few months back and have found whenever I use as it is black and white with no sound but when I use the rf adapter it comes in color though slightly garbled with sound. Thing is filthy I know I’m gonna need to clean it just wondering what could be a possible problem.

[@tearsfort]

Back in action again, yay! ;)

[@Jsmtjso]

Thank you so so much! I couldn't find out for the life of me what was wrong with my beloved Super Nintendo! I could've sworn it was my av-out because it started to play in black and white while I was playing . I was jiggling the av cord in and out of the socket, finding it funny how you could slowly degrade the signal on the tv. ps. Don't do that :( I'll check out my traces, hopefully my SNES will be able to return to it's former glory!

[@halo3odst]

Thanks for the suggestion, i noticed 2 legs on the chip that are corroded, i will attempt a bypass soon.

[@AenimaEater]

My Super Famicom is showing yellow as red (But other colors seem to be ok) through rgb scart but shows all colors correctly through composite. What could be the problem? The RGB Scart used to work correctly before I opened up the console and got all the dust out.

[@Utoobyourself]

Awesome fix man!

[@KillerZero259]

clever fix, Luke!

[@youtubasoarus]

Great repair!

[@Bandit-Darville]

Nice. I actually have this issue with my Megadrive 2.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Hi. My Famicom power adapter is outputting 14vdc. Is this normal? It's a 100v power supply (japan). If it's normal, what's the next voltage that needs to be checked (nothing appears on the monitor). Thank you. God bless, Proverbs 31

[@mushroomsamba82]

yes, repair vid, love that kind

[@Spardin]

my NES pal only runs in black and white could this be The problem with it?

[@KishiroKazecuh]

Ugh, this makes me sad. I had a Super Famicom that had this exact same problem, but then I think it stopped turning on. I'm gonna have to dig all the parts back out and see if maybe it'll work and just display B&W again.

[@123Actionful]

Great Job Luke :)

[@edwardrictofen6818]

#falconpunch thank you very much, this helped my snes!

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Hi. Where do you get your defective consoles from. That's an amazing skill, having repaired all the gadgets you've scored, that's defective. God bless. Rev. 21:4

[@michaelvegaretana7564]

***** @lukemorse1 how much are the nintendo 64s im 9 but Im interstead in buying one

[@Ps1ClassicGameplay]

check ebay for how much they cost usually they are around 30-60 euros dont know how much in dollars

[@HarmlessBystander]

My SNES developed a similar problem when lightning struck my yard like 15 years ago.

[@Jonnynot1plate]

I have an issue with an snes that plays just fine but it every game shows the main character as a shadowed out silhouette.

[@ickyy]

LUUUKE YOUR BACK

[@TheDormonid]

Thats bad. Im having this same problem. But I dont know if its the same issue or its that cristal thing issue. No matter what I guess I cant fix this by myself. I dont understand anything about electronics

[@rodrigokiller]

I have an CHIP-1 that are showing black and white. I know where the K1 is (crystal) and I bought a new one. I will try to replace it.

[@pollo20x6]

I'm having this weird issue that my SNES will play in black and white on my living room TV regardless which types of cables (colored and the screw kind) I use. It'll play in color on any other TV in the house regardless of which type of cables I use. So you'd think it's the TV, right? Well, that TV can play the NES (using the same video cable I use for my SNES), a Wii, Atari 2600, whatever, in full color. So you'd think it's the SNES, right? I don't understand. If my SNES is busted, then it would be black and white on all my TVs, not just one. If my TV is busted, it would black and white on all my consoles, not just my SNES.

[@wolfang12alpha]

pollo20x6 It could be the crystal oscillator in the front of the system. I had a similar problem with a friends SNES which displayed in color on one TV but on all others it was black and white. After swapping the crystal with my working system the 'busted' one started putting out color.

[@Bloodbound89]

I got the same problem on my pal snes xD i just switched the tv from pal-b to pal-g and got all colors back . It is not every single time a broken thing sometimes it is just a wrong option ;)

[@pollo20x6]

I hooked up my SNES to a new TV like three days ago and it displays color. It's just one TV that's seems to have a grudge solely against the SNES and works fine with every other console from NES to Wii.

[@Bloodbound89]

sometimes ... you shold ask mythbusters :D

[@ronaldhenson9170]

ITS WORTH CLEANING A SUPER FAMICOM CASE
