I already went ahead and took some initiative and learned about soldering and desoldering and quite frankly it doesn't look that difficult. I would have to possibly get a new soldering iron, but I would attempt to remove the RF module.

The only time I actually used RF was to see what the display looked on it so to me it's somewhat worthless.

But yea I'm all ears for any other suggestions you have, as it has been very interesting learning about the insides of the SNES and has inspired me to learn more about repairing consoles in general.
