SNES w/ Distorted Colors

How are you connecting? S-video or composite? Check the board real close for capacitor damage, Its not always apparent in just a cursory glance. Electrolytic capacitors should have flat top. If a top is bulging at all then its bad. I don't know of a way to check other capacitors without a special type of multimeter.

Using Composite, checked capacitors, all flat that I could see.

Any 'sticky' around them on the board? Most of the Sega stuff I've looked at with bad caps barfed the electrolyte onto the board as opposed to bulging or bursting.

Not that I could see.

I ended up just scrapping it along with a few other snes systems I had that were broken. I guess if anyone needs some spare parts drop me a PM.

Recap?

i had a psone that was doing shit like this a while ago. i think the problem involved the contact points on the motherboard being dirty or broken where the video cable plugs into the system.
