Hello
I did not check what power supply I stuck into my Famicom (DC) and accidentally fried it with a standard NES supply (AC).
I opened up the machine and discovered that a 1000µ capacitor had blown (well, barely, it was still intact). Does anyone know what usually goes first when something like this happens? Is it usually just the capacitor or do all kinds of parts blow?
Also, can this in any way harm the TV? I'm using a new LCD set, so I'm not exactly thrilled at the thought of having to buy a new one. I should add that this Famicom had an AV mod. Is there any possibility that excessive voltage might go through the RCA cables and harm the TV (there was a humming noise when I plugged it in and it was magnified when I turned on the console, well, before it blew anyway)?
