I will let you know which board it is when I jump back into tomorrow. I appreciate the offer to look at it but this unit will be my Guinea pig to learn on. I have always been able to figure out most of the amateur issues but never took them any farther then that but always wanted to. Unfortunately I don’t have another snes power supply to test that.

Thank you for the link to the schematics. I’m going to start with tracing the connectivity and just move down the line. Thank you for the info. I will update on what I find out and let you know which board I have.

I had seen that link when I googled looking to see if I could Narrow down the problem, just wish they would have updated what they figured out LOL. I’m going to start with the tracing the connectivity with my multimeter and move on from there. I will update in a few days how it’s going.

So I gave this a try with another set of av plugs actually tried 4 other sets and unfortunately I’m getting the same results. I know the pins are super clean because if I have the Rf switch plugged in instead of the av plug it starts the games every time with no issues. Thank you for the info as it at least ruled out another possibility.

So I picked up a snes today that I have thoroughly cleaned and I get video and audio through the Rf switch but I only get audio with the AV plug. The AV plug I’m using works just fine on my other snes. My TV is a CRT not a new tv. I have also cleaned and checked the AV plug pins and they look fine. Before I started the deep clean I checked to see if it worked and it had the same issue. Questions I have are: where should I start the troubleshooting? Does the Rf have a Separate capacitor then the AV plug in, on the board? Could it be a cold solder on the AV port? Any thing else I should consider? Thank you for any and all help.

Thank you for the info but I ended up buying the Ksger T12 that Khromak recommended. Just waiting for it to arrive.

This is great thank you. Found one shipping from California for $59.99 which includes the handle he talks about in the video and the knife tip. So just one more question, will any of the t12 tips work in this model?

Looking for something that I can control the heat on better. The one I have has a screw Dial and always seems to be to hot or to cold. I feel like I’m having to constantly mess with it.

I’ve been looking on the bay at soldering station in the $50 range and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. I don’t remove chips but been playing with most all other repairs on old systems and battery replacements. I’ve been using a cheap iron and just looking for something that would been the next step up. Thank you for your help.

Looking to buy NM/Mint Nintendo Power Dragon Warrior strategy guide and Shadowgate hint book. Let me know. Thank you

Saw these on the FB market place about 1.5 hour drive from my house. They had only been listed for less then an hour so I sent a message and got no response. This was yesterday. Sent another message today and same thing. Just now theY were marked as sold. So needless to say I am not the lucky buyer. Someone out there scored pretty well. Better luck next.

Picked this up off FB market place. It is farm fresh dirty just how I like to find them. Still cleaning everything up.

I also posted this question to a FB group I am A part of and everyone believes they are legit also. Picture shows what led them to believe there decisions.

We were driving when I took the picture . One thing I did notice with all 3 of the Pokémon games is, they are a little hard to get out after you eject them from the back. The other 3 games that came with this eject much smoother and slide right out. The Pokémon ones I have to pull on a little hard. Not sure if that means anything. I’m pretty clueless on ds stuff and google really hasn’t helped to much yet but I’m still looking.

Just bought these with a system on FB market place. How can you tell if these are authentic? Thank you y’all
