WTS: Junk Supergrafx "Not FS any more"
« on: January 28, 2014, 06:44:32 AM »
I have a non working Supergrafx and would like to sell it. I bought it from Ebay last year. The seller was offering the console with nothing else, claiming that he didnt know if it worked at all.

So i sold my white PCE, and a junk Turbo Duo, and ordered all the SGX cables and a SCDROM2.

Unfortunately, the SGX didnt work, i just opened it, and the PCB has a 3 inch crack and a smaller one both in the middle, just below the card slot. The cracks seem to be a single line each, as far as i can see, and cuts all the traces on the right side of the HuC6202 chip. The rest of the unit looks OK.

So what would be the value for one of this?. I am now looking to get a Coregrafx for my Super CDROM2.

Thanks in advance.

+1, though I suspect it's not worth much of anything.

If you want to sell I might take it off your hands and try and fix it...try being the most important word in that sentence :lol:

Do you have any pics of the damage. It might be as easy as soldering a copper wire between the breaks if they're small enough.

Still listening to offers. I will try to upload a couple pics later.
To me it looks like what lastcallhall says is doable, soldering wires to replace the traces, but they are so many and so little... i definitely dont have the skill to do so, and electronics workshops around here are so annoying, they have never been able to help me out when it comes to classic consoles.

I'm sure I have the skill, but could be quite the job

How much would you charge for such a job, thesteve?. It blows my mind to even think about doing it myself, i suck with the soldering iron...

please someone fix this sgx for this man!

im no expert but looking at the pics it seems as though you should be able to solder in jumper wires for all those busted traces. i'd wait for a real expert like thesteve to chime in first tho :)

Looks tedious but repairable.  Let me know if you want me to give it a shot saturndual.  No charge, just want to see if it can be done!

If that is the only damage to the unit then it is doable. It will be about a 26 wire job. Some can be sent directly from the 6202 to the 6260. Others can be sent directly from the 6202 to the other side of the traces past the cut. Gut feeling though that this may end up not being the only issue with the system. Cross those fingers.
