Why am I so freaken cursed with these things!?

Post by Metallica Man X »

so there I was...bout to crash out for the night...decided to pick up the PNES mark2A so I could play some Punchout. Powered it up...and the screen was white only.

The sound was playing just fine indicating that the cart was properly situated and everything (but the screen) was working properly.

Thought it was just the batteries getting weak, so I changed them out..no fix...checked all the connections, everything checks out. I even tried inputing from a different video source with the same white screen result.

My only conclusion is that the darn screen burned out on me :wtf:

This ALWAYS happens to me...after tons of time working, making sure everything will work out fine, once I finally get it working right, something breaks...and when it breaks, it breaks HARD.

Even worse yet, I got home from work to find that my PNES Mark1 original had been smashed into a million pieces (somehow, it had fallen off of the high spot where I had left it for displaying during the day while I was away). So I effectively have no functional P-NES's anymore :(

so yeah..upsetted much by this...

Does anybody have a clue as to what might be causing the screen to revert to crap status? Cause I can't find anything......

always every freaken time...darn forces of the universe are out to get me..first my compy dies, then my flash drives all die, then my laptop dies, then my TV dies, then mah CD laser dies, then my plastic supply runs out, then my Mark1 crashes and burns and now the PNES mark2A is dead....errrgh....knowing the way the forces of the universe treat me, the CDX projekt is gonna die too... /Rant

True bad luck which sucks HARD :(

Ahhh... maybe just start fresh. Learn your mistakes, see where you went wrong in soldering etc and build a stronger portable. Salvage the old electronics, get a new screen, sell the old parts off for what you can and re-build the best damn portable you can in a much stronger case maybe!


As for that screen it may have a fried resistor or capacitor. Re-check the connections ONCE MORE and be sure the brightness is not set full maybe? haha jokes :wink:


GOOD LUCK!
