  • Hi, in this 'tea break fix' I look at a faulty Nintendo Entertainment System game sent in by Mike from 1up Gaming Limited over on eBay. It is the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt game and it is displaying only a white screen. It has already been cleaned so let's take it apart and see what is wrong.
    I hope you enjoy.
    Vince :-)

    I remember working in a game store and having stacks of SMB/DH which we sold for roughly a quarter a piece. Not that it doesn't deserve to be saved, that's just how common they were at one point. An amazing deal for a couple of the most iconic games of the generation!
    Happy New Year Vince & anyone else reading :)

    Another awesome fix, but please don't use an automatic drill on these screws that run into plastic. It's so incredibly easy to strip the plastic. Best to go at it by hand, and turn left first to make it drop into the existing groove. All the best, Vince!

    I'd love to see you do either a Master System console or a game. I love learning about the Master System, and I don't think I've ever seen the system or a game taken apart. I never had it as a child so I still have that mysterious fascination with it. Great fix!

    Vince, pleased to see that you found the Garryflex block useful. Remember that you can also slice off small, thin segments for use on any tight spaces. Nice repair BTW!

      Do they do finer grits than 600 in them? I am thinking for really badly scratched watch crystals and cases or bracelets these are going to be a godsend but I likes to finish off with a 2000+ before going at it with me brown gunge and dremel mop. Just snagged a coarse, medium coarse and a 320 and 600 but couldn't see anything more than 600 sadly.

    Another great fix. Keeping those classic games going 😁 Just a heads up, if you pick up a 405nm laser for about £4 from ebay it will cure the solder mask in about 10 seconds. Any colour will do the trick but it's not actually tje UV which cures the mask, but the wavelength of the UV torch 😁

    Hey Vince, just a quick reminder - Most circuit boards are translucent, while the traces are opaque... I believe you had mentioned that your son has a tracing table/light box you can use to test out the theory that broken traces can be observed visually (you may also be able to determine that a trace is in need of reinforcement using this method).

    Pencil eraser is the safest thing to clean contacts with I find. That rubber seemed a bit too abrasive using it once on a game probably isn't a big deal but multiple uses would start to wear away too much (similar to Brasso). The eraser just gently buffs it then you just have to make sure you get rid of the bits before cleaning with IPA.

    Looking at that gray screen reminds me of my NES. My NES is quite odd, because if you push down on the cart like you normally do, it will give you that gray screen, but if you put the cart as is, it will boot without issues.
    Perhaps the previous owner that I got it from refurbished the cart connector?
