He just got done saying he sees no problem, how are we supposed to be able to?

If it were me, and I had a broken SNES and saw nothing wrong with it, I would call it fried and ditch it. If it's a mini SNES, and it is fried, schmellyfart may want it though.

He still won't care, he just wants a board with no components. He may not even be looking anymore, I dunno.

Make sure you didn't screw up the caps and break it yourself/be able to fix it now.

Try a different game, Make sure you're using the right power supply, Throw unit out of window.

The fuse is the white thing near the power supply.

If you dont want it, I would gladly take it off your hands.

Jump the fuse by soldering on a wire to both sides. See if it works.
