SEgamer Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) I recently got Earthbound and I'm not sure what the problem is. I get a blank screen when I turn on my SNES. I've had this happen to me before with flea market games where the circuit was corroded and I soldered in some wires to fix them. I checked the circuit and it's fine. It looked like someone tried to replace the battery, which wasn't soldered on one side, so I swapped it out with another battery from a game I already had and that didn't work. Update: Turns out it must've been a chip, or possibly one tiny spot in the circuit that I didn't see. Today I went by the only local store that sells old games. It was great since the guy opened up the carts that I picked out to see if any circuit was a match. In the end, got Madden 95 for $2, swapped the game ROMs, and now Earthbound works.
