Title: RIP 'Gray Guy' , the SNES Post by: logical123 on May 09, 2007, 04:55:18 PM Everyone, It is of my great grief to tell you that on Sunday, May 6th, 2007, my SNES 'Gray Guy' Passed on. :'(
He was not one of the SNES's that discolored with age. :o A power supply short was found to be the cause of death. ??? RIP: 'Grey Guy' the SNES :embarassed: :'( Title: Re: RIP 'Gray Guy' , the SNES Post by: two_scoop_steve on May 09, 2007, 06:39:34 PM sorry to hear about your snes
Title: Re: RIP 'Gray Guy' , the SNES Post by: Fuyukaze on May 09, 2007, 06:42:04 PM replace the internals and keep the shell, that way a part of it lives on?
Or you could fiddle around with replacing the power supply even. I dont want to even think about having to get a new SNES these days. Title: Re: RIP 'Gray Guy' , the SNES Post by: Ghost Soldier on May 10, 2007, 07:31:57 AM Was it just the Power Supply or did the system die ?

I'll need to try to revive him with another power supply before he is buried in the local landfill. :drunk:

I'm just going to buy a new one, hopefully this week. I don't want to fool around with power supplies, I had a bad experience. My Apple IIe's power supply discharged into me and I was momentarily knocked out. I said "Never Again!" Thanks again, Ill post a pic of the new one when I get it. |
