    It happens rarely but the actual rom chips can die. In all the games I had in the last couple years, 2 were dead.
    One is a SNES Mario Kart which would show the Nintendo Logo but have no sound and stay stuck there.
    The other is a Mega Drive Aladdin which just black screens.
    So yea, it's rare but it does happen.
