What's wrong with my SNES?

I considered that, but as I said above, I still have a problem that one of my consoles doesn't work. Once my bit comes, I will open the system up and take a look. If anyone knows how to fix it, great. But if it is shot, as Wiggy may think, then I'll just have to swap the cases.

I've got a stack of extra bare SNES motherboards. If you end up needing one, just let me know :)

When you mention about cleaning contacts, is it only game contacts, or also the board contacts? One of my friends SNES had very weird video issues, in the end it was fixed by cleaning the board contacts.
Ozzy_98:
not sure on snes since I've never looked into it much, but most systems store the video and program data separate, so different set of pins access different ram addresses. So it could be that, but I doubt it would show up the same areas if you swap carts out and back in. It could though.

i had this same issue with my first snes a few years back. I ended up scrapping it and just replacing it with another one cause I was told it was a motherboard issue.
