Title: AV modded Famicom no picture... Broken??
Post by: Bad Idea on February 05, 2013, 08:45:11 pm
I got free one AV modded Famicom, but when I turn the power on it doesn't give picture. But it does give strange buzzing noise...

As you can see the AV cable is hardwired:

And inside it looks this:

So... Is the mod probably made wrongly or could my Famicom just simply be broken?  :-\

The buzz is usually for controller 2 mic,also did you try and hook it up with rf.

I tested my Famicom one more time and now it did give picture, but 5 seconds later picture suddenly vanished and it started making again that annoying  buzz sound.

oh
i recognized the few actual reasons of hot glued things:
1) improper wire's insulation removal. Some of copper cores damaged ugly and broken. Forgotten wire tinning.
2) bad soldering with a lot of oxidation at joints
3) very very nasty topology and component's layout design

so that non-hot glued OLOLO MOD breaks down even if you'll just breathe out on it
