Code: Select all

pos --( o-- neg

so if i am reading this right then the inner is - and the outer is +.

what setting do i put the multimeter on? i have DCV - 5, 25, 125, 500, 1k.

Correct. The multimeter options are just to give you different granularity and ranges. Set it to 25 volts since that's the lowest one above what you're expecting and make sure you're reading the right line on the dial when measuring.

so i plug the brick in, put the mm on 25 dcv then the black pin in the center and red on the outside?

i just jumped the snes fuse spot.

success, wow i actually soldered something.

Yup. It is possible it might read a little higher than what the brick says since it won't have a real load on it with just the mm. But it should be close if the brick is working properly

ok, can i just keep my solder points and attach the fuse to them? like cut the wire and spice a fuse holder in them?

the wiring i used to jump the gap is twisted 18 gauge wiring. im just gonna get the simplest method going.

If you left enough room to connect to the wire yeah. Just be soldering to the wire holder too. Don't just twise and wrap with electrical tape. 18 gauge is about the thickness of the wires that were on the fuse I think, should be fine.

Why do all the work? Just use some foil from a pack of smokes and connect it like that. MacGyver style!

You're just trying to get him to kill the US SNES because you think they're ugly, aren't you?

I don't actually mind how the US SNES looks. I'm just trying to provide some... economical ways of fixing an SNES. As long as you use enough chewing gum to hold the foil on there and you don't get any electrical surges, it should work just fine.

But if the fuse blew before... next time it could be something more important. A 10 cent fuse is better than something else.
