Help me please!!! (snes problem =P)

Post by Tercoil »

Hey everyone, i am buying a snes off of my friend, i got it today (havn't payed him yet) and when i hook it up everything powers on fine and the games seem to work, but the screen flickers constantly. I gave all the games a good clean but they all have the same flickering problem.
I was wondering, is this the games, the snes, or the rf cable??
and by flickering i mean the screen kind of rolls down and swerves into the sides and sometimes half of what should be the bottom is on top and things like that
it makes games unplayable and i dont want to have to give his snes back
XD
any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem with that advice is that the "quit it" portion of the process becomes much more complicated after the "hit it" maneuver has been completed. Much easier to "quit it" before all else.

That's an odd problem it might be the rf cable. Try an av cable the amazing thing about Nintendo is that they use the same av cable for the SNES, N64, and Gamecube. So if you have one of those systems you should be good if the problem continues its most likely the SNES or the television itself. (lets hope it isn't the latter)
