    Default Need help on SNES Mini

    I have a Mini Super Nintendo that needs a new Power Switch; I have no idea where to get one from. Tried searching on google, couldnt find any. All I can find is power switches to the original SNES, not the redesign. Where is the best place to purchase one from?? Any suggestions will be great thanks!

    Are you absolutely positive it's the switch? Those things are pretty hard to break. Could possibly be a dirty contact in the switch. Those things pretty much have to be hit by a hammer in order to actually break them.

    yes I'm sure its the power switch the SNES wont turn on I already replaced the diode and Voltage regulator. When I desoldered the power switch it looked like it was rusted up and I lost the pieces upon taking it apart. Its been months since I've worked on it. I was just picking up the project on making this SNES work again. Right now the Power switch is completely desoldered and I need a new one.

    Hey Rick, how about instead of fucking around with a Nintendo you go to the post office and send the games I paid for through NintendoAge?

    Did you do a continuity test before tearing the switch apart? (something tells me that the OP won't be back in this thread any time soon)
