Famicom games // white screen

Post by callebalik »

Hi,

One of my Famicom AVs is not booting certain games. I only get a white screen. Some games work, others don't. Tried 7 carts and only 2 booted.
My other Famicom AV unit is in storage so can't test if the games are broken or if it is a problem with the actual unit.

What could be causing the white screen? Is it worth trying to clean the carts or would I need to resolder stuff? Since some games are booting I guess the unit is fine? right? :)

Cheers,

Have you tried checking the internal Cart connector that connects the cart between the famicom system and the cartridge? I know it is not the PPU or RAM, So this may be the case, if not, it may be a stretch, but also try the cleaning cartidges themselves properly.
