Opened up the #famiclone. Positive wire was loose, that explains why it did nothing when we wanted to play some of the #famicom games.
Opening up the #famiclone, it seems the pcb was designed for multiple purposes. It has markings for a volume button, DC jack and the case has a options for a speaker and screen, so it could also be a portable. No diode for polarity protection installed though. #famicom
At first we got a garbled screen. Cleaned the contacts. But then the black wire broke off. When keeping the power pressed with a finger we got it working. We tried heating up a screwdriver to solder the wire but couldn't get it warm enough. Not planning to buy a soldering iron, so we gave it up. Can't play AND hold the wire at the same time. #failureatthecave #famicom #famiclone #retrorevival
