I apoligize if there is already another thread of this nature. I searched but could not find it.
I purchased a very clean SNES Model-2 from a local flea market about a year to 2 years ago. I used the unit a couple times when I first got it... even then, it took a couple tries to get a game going. I left it for a few months, then came back to play another SNES game... this time I found when I did get it to play, that there would be no sound. It's been almost a year since those issues... so recently popped in a few games, and can't get them to come on at all. The screen does it's usual "quick flick" when you turn on any system, signifying the power button has been switched... but nothing comes on screen, and absolutely no sound.
Anyone elese have this issue with their SNES? Possibly, specificlly, the Model-2? Is the SNES, or Model-2 just itself prone to this?
I noticed that A/V Composite cables that came with the SNES, (which are Nintendo brand), seem "loose". The connections on the SNES itself... (A/V & power adapter input)... are nice and clean, and secure. But the cables themselves seem "loose". The A/V Composite cables on my GameCube are the same... which are also Nintendo brand... but don't seem as "loose". Not sure if that's even the problem. Or could be a combination of problems? The pins seem to be clean, and and in great shape, from what I can see.
Again, anyone else experience this issue with their SNES? And, if all-else fails... whom out there is, or knows, a trust-worthy source that can repair an SNES model 2?
Thanks so very much!
