About two weeks ago, my first-model Super NES suddenly stopped displaying color in the gameplay. Everything's in monochrome now, and I've tried multiple AV cables on separate TV sets. The website I bought it from said they don't know how to fix it, and some have suggested a "color chip" may have gone out. I have zero skill in fixing this kind of thing, but I thought some of you might. Any ideas? |

Let me clarify: I have neither the knowledge nor the tools to fix this problem. If someone here is willing, I will gladly pay for shipping both ways to any U.S. address for repair. |

Tools are dirt cheap from eBay sellers, and Youtube is full of how to repair stuff videos. |

I looked on YouTube before starting this post; no luck. I also don't trust Ebay. |
