I Need Someone To Repair a Couple Games

Alright. I have 2 NES games, one is an action 52, the other is a Supervision Pirate Cart. I cleaned it and tried testing it on other systems and all that jazz. So now its out of my hands. I really need these working. Particularly the Supervision Pirate.

Heres a pic of the SV game. No theres no corrosion or anything.

Since it has a ton of eeproms, I figure its a bad eeprom but I really dont know. If the chips are good than cool hack the game if you can. I just want it working.

I will pay shipping for the game and obviosuly compensation for your work.
Let me know if anyone can help me.

Got a picture of the opposite side of the PCB too?

Yes here is the reverse side. The Solder is really flat. I got it when the solder actually connected 2 contacts and the game wasn't working. So i desoldered it and removed as much as I could. I highly doubt that it interferes with the connection between the NES and game

It could have fried when you connected those two contacts.

Yah possibly. Either way is there any way that this cart would be repairable.

In that case it would make sense to check what those two are, but I doubt that either are voltage or ground and while I'm no expert I doubt the short of whatever those two are caused such a failure.

It may be repairable, and at the very least someone could dump the EPROMs, I'm not really sure if that's been dumped yet but if it hasn't it would be worth it to dump it if you can't get it working again.

is is old enough that the eproms could have erased from age?

Those contacts that were shorted appear to be for VRAM mirroring selection. If that's the case, the program should run regardless.

It could be a factory defect, there's no telling with some of this stuff.

If you want, I could desolder and dump the EPROMs. I could take a look at it, maybe show it around, but I can't guarantee it's repairable. It could just need some capacitors (there seems to be no bypassing on the power supply), or it could just be fried or have a bad ROM.
