No rush to sell these examples. I could wait another 20 years if need be. It is likely to fetch something one day. But to be honest the SMS1 would probably be worth something over the MD2's. Probably not here, but on eBay things get crazy at times...

I have some Amiga's(500+ 600 and 1200) still tucked away which should fetch a few bob hopefully within the next decade :p

Had another of my best friends call me over to theirs tonight. Thought it was going to be another trip to the pub, which it was. But the main reason was to give me these :)

Anyone got any experience with fixing controllers?

Start button on one of my Snes controllers is not working.

There was a small crack/track starting to lift on the tracks leading from the start pads. Figured that was it, bypassed and repaired them like so

All fixed. Continuity between the track and where it is suppose to be going now. Still doesn't work :(.

Rubber piece is fine, cleaned and will activate select fine. Contacts are physically fine, no damage to them and they are clean. Start refuses to activate even if I try manually by bridging the two exposed traces to each other :(.

Any ideas? Don't like things winning and seems strange that just start dies for some reason :(.

Thanks.
 
Whats the grey bit under the c1 it looks like that should have been connected to that track but now its bypassed an nothing goes to it also under the r of the r12 is that another crack or is it just the image?

Grey thing is the wire to bypass the damage, unless you mean something else. It's connected to the remaining track, not nothing. Track comes off of C1, splits into 2 tracks, one going to gnd of select and the other to gnd of start. The grey wire is connected from c1, to the track going to gnd of start as it was damaged.

No crack by r12 far as I can see, must be camera flash. According to http://www.gamesx.com/controldata/nessnes.htm, each switch has it's own ic leg that is pulled to ground when you press. So think I'll try soldering the leg for start to gnd and see if it activates. If it does not, then I guess the pad is done :(, if it does, then there must be more damage somewhere.

Ok excuse the obscure highlights the red bits are what to me look like cracks the yellow is the flow as it is and the pink looks to me like it should have flow but doesn't due to the cracks as you have bypassed with the wire. Hope that makes sense but im sure you have done a continuity test right?
