I have a console that just died all of the sudden, I tested the power supply with a tester and it works, I took the system apart and cleaned out the card slot and sanded it gently. The strange thing is, it has the same blurred rainbow colored screen with or without a game in it, once in a while it looks like it's trying to display something but it just won't play a game, sometimes the screen rolls. I am fairly good with a multitester, what kind of tests can I perform on this thing and what is the best way to desolder the shielding? How do I get the box apart around the rf jack? Any other ideas as to what's wrong, I don't have the cash to buy a whole entire new setup and my Duo is not working either?

at a guess (i only repair arcade pcb's) it sounds like a dead ram chip. i ain't got a clue what rams they use tho..
