Title: HELP ME!! SNES stoped working!
Post by: Lee on December 22, 2012, 09:57:55 PM: Hello, It's been a while since Ive been here. Here's my problem, i brought a SNES two weeks ago and whenever I play a game now, i get a black screen. However, a Super Game Boy gives me garbled characters. Any suggestions?

Clean the game carts with it too.

Easy Fix.... Already had this problem too, and resolved.

I also see SNES consoles offered on f.i. Marktplaats for about 30 Euro. Not much use investing a lot of time to fix one....

I do have a SNES and it still works fine...
