    Different capacitors for different signals. Bet one might be going by now.
    I fix things. You name it, I'll work on it. Want something modded? Recapped?

    If you know how to replace through hole electrolytic capacitors on anything you can do it on a SNES.

    Usual disclaimer: you can easily mess it up.

    We could, but it'd probably be easier to do a replacement DAC with a CPLD.

    So I got around to replacing to the surface mount capacitors with equivalent axial lead electrolytic capacitors.
    The layout of my motherboard is as shown: SHVC-CPU-01
    The same vertical artifacts are still present which makes me think the PPU isn't seated right or is altogether failing. I don't have the means to reseat or outright replace one or both the PPUs so I suspect this system while working is beyond my effort to repair further.
    Whaddya mean invalid parameters?!

    9,000 gigs of ram and it still can't answer a simple question!
