no power lead

watermelon · Post by **watermelon** » Mon Sep 05, 2005 10:12 am

ive just got my snes back from my brother, but i dont have a power lead.

on the bottom is says it 9v 1.3a, but i dont have any other adapters in my house i can use, apart from one thats 10v 1.2a which is the closest ive got to it.

what do you recommend i do? can i buy power adapters from soemwhere, or will i have to make my own power supply?

the 10v 1.2a adapter will work. now all you have to do is find a way to connect it to the snes

remember though, the snes is kinda odd and uses the reverse polarity of most wall warts (center pin -)

the 10v 1.2 wont burn it out? i wouldnt have thought pushing another volt through the snes would be good for it.

then again, i dont really know anythign about it.

the snes has a 7805 in it so it can take 7.2- 34 volts as long as you dont remove it

but remember wat gannon said

could i use a 12v source to power the snes and it wont burn it out?

also, how do i remove the plastic bit that goes around the the power hole, RF out, and multi out? ive taken the screw out, but its still in tight by the power socket.

what does that red thign do?

whats this weird looking goo stuff?

The pin on top is + and the pin on the bottom is - (can someone check that for me before he goes and fries his SNES and blames me). I don't know about the red thing. The gooey thing is proabably burnt flux or something.

The red thing looks like a trimpot (variable resistor)

it turns out the top one is positive, i just went for it and guessed.

all is good now, but isnt getting the case closed without the eject button spring popping out bloody difficult!
