Gizmo Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I fired my SNES up for the first time in ages today - me and my friend had a bet going on who was better at SMB3. It was me of course. Thing was, on both the TVs I tried it on the sound was rubbish. On my sparkly new HDTV, it came out very quietly, muffled by an almighty BSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH noise. On my Old SDTV, it had no sound at all. I tried swapping the cable with my N64 cable (which both fit in the SNES) to no avail. (Right enough, I should check my N64 too) Anybody know what causes it / any fixes? I don't want to have to replace it My N64 doesn't even give me a picture :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 It could be both your cables...I had to get a new one for mine it was quite old and did the same.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'm unsure Gizmo as something like that is yet to happen to me. It sounds like the problem could be your cables cos I would really hope both your consoles aren't ballexed. If you can get some new leads then give that a go and hopefully you'll be back to playing some retro magic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 I think I'll go round my mates tomorrow and nick his SNES cables, see how it goes. I'll also give them a nice dust. All they've been doing the past few months is gathering the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Did you get over to your friends today then Giz? I'm not entirely sure if giving the machines a dust would have remedied the situation, but it never hurts to have your systems positively gleaming!

Gizmo Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Didn't have the chance to nip over and get them, but I'm collecting them after school tomorrow. *crosses fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 It could be just...dying. I'm sure there is a lifespan on some electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 One cable wasn't working, the other just wasn't plugged in properly Luckily the N64 and SNES can use the same AV cable so theres no need to buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thats a relief to here. You'll be needing that Snes in good working order so you can indulge in some DKC 3 as the year draws to a close. Que juego tan fantastico! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
