Super NES unresponsive?
I know it will probably strike some as ridiculous to even begin to see a point in using the old Super Nintendo, since graphics etc. have been upgraded to the extent that they have; but nostalgia alone had me trying it out. Unfortunately, after going to the trouble of digging my system out of storage and hooking it up, it just sits there, taunting me. The "power on" indicator is functioning, and the TV to which I attached it is of the analog variety, so there would seem to be no easy fix to this; and I'm wondering if anyone else out there has run into the same kind of problem. There doesn't appear to be any way to open the outer casing of the system without making the move permanent, so I haven't played around with the innards as of yet, and I'm hoping to avoid that if possible. Any suggestions that don't include tossing the lot like the dinosaur that it is? Thanks!
Oh--sorry--I forgot to mention that the classic hindrance of dust getting on the leads was my first thought, but seems to no longer work. As with the old, OLD regular NES, blowing on the connections (in this case, I even tried cleaning the whole thing out--cartridges too--with alcohol and a vacuum) used to be necessary on several occasions, and would do the trick "just fine." Although the last three times I dragged the system from its coffin this approach (eventually) produced results, it would appear that even cleaning is no longer sufficient. Has anyone cracked open their SNES and done a full-on cleaning of the innards, finding that to be of any help without ruining the system?
I would delete this entire question if YA made it in any way clear and easy to do, but the whole thing is a moot point now, since I discovered the existence of "knock-off" brands having taken advantage of the fact that older game systems' patents have finally expired. You can now, as I have, get a system that will play NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis games all in one compact system, and all for far less cost than any of the originals ran; so all's well that ends in convoluted, circuitous mending.

Try blowing on the game cartridge and blow on the game slot. Sometimes when dust prevents the system from working. That is all I can think of.
And don't worry lots of people go back and enjoy the classics of gaming.

you are going to be incredibly youthful (i do no longer mean this as an insult, in basic terms commenting on the certainty which you think of the video games have been interchangeable, this is a reasonably new thought)...No the video games at the instant are not interchangeable. We in basic terms weren't that stepped forward back in the 80's and early ninety's. there is at the instant are not any "new" NES or super NES video games...they stopped making those an prolonged time in the past. The NES got here out first, became replace via the super NES, which became replaced via the Nintendo sixty 4, which has been replaced via the GameCube and we've the Wii. Waaaay back while, game platforms weren't backward nicely suited. while the hot gadget got here out you had to purchase the hot gadget and all new video games...of direction the gadget and video games have been lots greater fee-effective than they at the instant are (and the pics, in assessment to as we communicate's, sucked...yet they have been super for the time). in my view, I desire the NES. this is a classic. however the video games and pics have been greater stepped forward on the super NES sixteen-bit v. 8-bit pics). I nevertheless very own my super NES, so i could chosen the NES
