Component out

There's even a thread here where a certain very knowledgeable fellow (can't recall his SN at the moment) outlines exactly which chip needs to be in your SNES in order to do a component mod. I'd post links, but I'm on my phone which makes such things rather tedious.
The biggest problem is going to be finding a unit that has the chipset that you need. I've got 6 working SNES units and 10 extra mother boards around and NONE of them have the chip required for the mod :-\ I'm REALLY interested in the mod myself, but it's nearly impossible to know which unit will have that particular chip without popping it open :(

that chip is exclusive for the snes mini? or it comes in every model?
wiggy:
It does NOT come in any mini, as they are all identical (as far as we know). That's what makes it so hard to identify one in the wild :(

I got 2 component cables from China via Ebay (one for my Wii, one for original Xbox). I assumed that similar to HDMI cables, there is little difference in quality. Unfortunately, I noticed that when playing a game, every so often the video will cut out for a second or so and then resume. I've never had this problem with my Wii using composite, and I've only ever used the component cable for the Xbox (I have no other cable).
I bought the cables from two different sellers at different times. Is this a common occurrence in low quality cables or is this possibly an issue with my television's component inputs or something?
Azarkhel:
It's almost certainly the low quality cables.

That's what I was thinking. I'm out a total of $11 though so I can't complain that much. Can anyone recommend decent quality component cables for Wii or Xbox (they don't have to be first party).
