Retro console repair

[Themaddmax]

Hey i have a old SNES (Pal) that currently not working i was wondering if any one knew any good people they have used in the past and would recommend, Im a Aussie so closer is better but if you know someone i can ship to or something. Like i could just buy one on ebay or a clone console but i just kinda want the one i had scene i was a kid fixed you know?

 

It turns on but i get no display.

 

Thanks

When you say no display, what TV are you connecting it to? And how are you connecting it? Some modern TVs don't accept the lower resolution the SNES outputs. Or it might just be a dirty and/or corroded connector, in which case spray some electrical contactor cleaner on the connector and the cart pins, allow to dry and try again.

 

Probably best to ask a local retro game shop, they should know someone if they don't do it themselves.

I have tested it on a HD TV that works with my friends SNES so i know its not to do with that and strangely enough 1 of my games shows 1 image then fails to load any thing else while the rest don't give me anything (makes me think its not to do with the ports) and I am not in a mayor city so there isn't really one.

 

Thanks though.
