Ok so I finally got my snes and screen to work together, then the worst happens on the 7805 on the snes mobo started sparkin! As I soon saw the ground escaped my solder and hit the power input on the 7805, I was put into A small Depression beacuse I put a lot of work/time into it.

Now I'm asking, Is there anyway to fix it?
Please help

P.S. it is an original snes.

I accidently swiched around + and - killed my screen and snes. Well let's see. First try charging you battery. The see if any parts have gone black. (then replace hose) look for a diagram of the power circuit of the itnernal snes. And I can never hurt to replace the 7805.

I examined the board and on the bottom side there are 2 small spots that looked burned but not that bad. the spots are the 7805(which I replaced) and a capacitor. Would it work if i replaced the capacitor too? what kind of capacitor would I use, The original has a weird name(Positive side: 48B
Negative side: +85c M)

Pictures would help. Usually it says something like 100uf on it.
Just replace it with a cap with the same values. Part numbers aren't that important in this case.

I smack you cause he may have it wrong lol.

The capacitor is blown if the top looks "swollen". There are indents on there. If you heard a little explosion, it was probably a cap. As well, Caps are 98% of the time polarized. You put it in the wrong way, it may not work. So try.
