Good. I am an electronics technician and I try to repair old consoles like NES, SNES, PS1 etc. for me and my family. I don't do it as a profession, just as a hobby. Now I am repairing an old Super Nintendo and I have some doubts that I try to clarify on this site. Thanks and best regards.

Hello (slightly grown up) boy.:)
Welcome to this place of fun but also of technical expertise (the kind that interests you most, I think). I wish I had such knowledge myself! I'm guessing you've already amassed quite a collection of video game antiques.:wink:

Let me tell you. This console worked fine but had noise, like hum, in the sound, I changed 4 capacitors from the power supply which gave wrong measurement with capacitance meter, then the hum or noise disappeared. But when assembling the console, nothing appeared, just snow on the TV. I measured, with the oscilloscope, the clock signals to the S-CLK outputs and they all gave correct except pin 4 (XOUT) which gave a continuous 0V, that is, it did not give any signal. So I followed the Snes PAL schematic of the circuit that surrounds the S-CLK and saw that a connection was missing, pins 8 and 9 were joined but they came out on the air and I connected them to the junction of C3 and R3, as in the diagram, and that's when I received the signal that I have shown you on pin 4 of the S-CLK, this signal is supposed to be the master clock of the system and it should be a square wave from 0 to 5V and around 21 Mhz, but it gives that strange signal superimposed on an alternative signal. The other outputs of the S-CLK are correct (pin 5, 6 and 7). Now with this XOUT signal I get video but it is a black screen and nothing else. Maybe I should change the S-CLK chip? Well, I have measured the rest of the components and they are fine. I also don't know how to get this S-CLK chip.

@jkarma, you forgot to write directly in english, or to have Google Translator (or other) translate it; I think it's because of carelessness. This way, however, few will understand what you write. It's also a matter of transparency and respect.:wink:


Sorry. It has been an oversight on my part.

Now I understand a bit more, albeit little... hehe. If you want help you should open a thread in the "old consoles" section, and also, especially, in the "recent questions" section which is very visible and frequented.
Good luck.

Note: Specify well, in the thread title, what it is about, to attract the right attention (of those who understand the topic)
