hey,
i have an NES toploaded. i got it on ebay about 7 years ago.
it was almost new then. and it's been a champion all these years.
it worked first time, every time.
just last week, i popped in a game and hit the power button and
nothing happened. i checked the cables, i checked the tv, everything
was ok. i didnt notice turning the console on and off i was getting
*something* on the tv, but just blackness.
any idea's about what might be wrong?
replacing the 72 pin connector is out since it's a top loader
and it's not angled 90 degrees. i was thinking it might be
a capacitor issue and i know kitsch sells them.
but idk if that sounds like it might be the issue. also,
i have never done a capacitor replacement... is it tough?
im pretty ok at soldering.
thanx in advance.
