Dammit! Somethings wrong with my SNES...

[EmOneGarand]

Ok so I plug my SNES in after not using it for a couple months now, never had any issues whatsoever with it, but now it has discolored green bars that scroll down on the TV. I tried 2 different A/V cables to see if it was just the cables but nope, same problem. Tried different carts, same thing.. does this mean the A/V modulator is kapoot?? Or is this a power issue? I have a Universal AC which is fitting kinda loose lately :/ but then again I've been using it for years with no incidents.. I really don't wanna have to trash my SNES, had it since they first came out in the States..

My first impression would be power issue. Do you hear a low hum coming from the TV speakers when you turn it on? Try a different power supply, if you can.

It is definitely an analog issue, and most likely a power issue. Do you have an official SNES AC adapter? I think you can still buy them from the official Nintendo site. Properly taken care of, a SNES and accessories can last an extremely long time, so investing in an official SNES AC adapter isn't too high of a cost.

 

If you can't figure out how to get it to work, don't throw it away. At least sell it to somebody that will use it for something.

my original snes eventualy has had the back thingy cracked the thing to plug the power supply in, part of it fell off, now i keep it cus it still works, i only use my new style, the old 1 was a gift from my deceased grandmother and my father, lot of memories with it. too sentimental to get rid of it

My Snes does that too. It sucks I just play it anyway, if you play for like 5 minutes the green bars eventualy go away, they do for me anyway

I agree, sounds like a power supply problem.
