Hello! Scoured the internet and finally seem to have found a forum dedicated to the consoles of old. But anyways, my dilemma is with an original SNES controller in my possession. There seems to be a problem with the IC on the board, which in this case is a v502B. The symptoms are as follows:
X, R, and Select do not respond
Certain games will freeze until I remove the controller
I've attempted to factor out any other variables by switching cords, buttons, rubber pieces, and ports; the only constant is the controller board itself. I've cleaned it thoroughly and completely, so all that leaves is the chip. However, I don't know if this piece is replaceable. Internet searches have come up dry, and any info I find on the piece says that it has been discontinued.
Is there an alternative chip that I can use for this controller to replace the v502B? Is there any way to fix this chip problem on the controller, or am I simply out of luck here?
