SNES ext port removal

[Helghast]

Hi guys!

Here's my first post on the boards.

I'm looking at making a SNES handheld out of my European SNES (first model), and have been removing things last night.
After removing the ext port, my SNES no longer works...

I see the power light turn on (stays on, so it's not a blown fuse I believe), I get no audio or video.
Is there anything obvious I can check, I have to be honest, I'm just getting into learning all this, so I'm still a big noob
(I come from a game development background, have always wanted to do more hardware tinkering though)

regards,

found the culprit.

I shouldnt have soldered on such a high heat, I melted one of the chips
I'll post a picture of it later...

I have already gotten myself a replacement SNES, so I can carry on, but it sucks that a good SNES has died due to my incompetence... oh well, lesson learnt.

It happens...we've all fried a thing a two at one point in time or another

Kill another one from different place, and make one functional from them. :p
