hi , i do have an old snes which I got from someone a year ago and kept it under bed since then, it looked horrible, it doesn't power on, fues was dead, kept a jumper of thin wire for now, but diode D1 looks bad, could it be it? and whts its part number please.
I'd say that schottky diode is dead. I found D1 on the SNES power schematics on console5, but they don't have the part numbers for every component. https://console5.com/wiki/File:SNES-Schematic-Power-Reset-CIC.png You could try a sot89 package schottky diode like this one https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Central-Semiconductor/CXSH-4-TR?qs=Ypxpq5eNvNXOST7pgvbj1Q== Better replace that fuse as well.
Thanks alot for the info, I will replace the fuse with a permanent solution once it work, but may I ask if the part suggested is sure to work? i.e. is it just for trial or it should work? thanks again.
I have never had this problem with a SNES myself, so I cannot be sure. The 100% sure way would be to remove on from another console.
Did some more "googling" around. I think this is the right part: BAW78DH6327XTSA1 found them on eBay too: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Infineon...hing-Diode-400V-1A-3-Pin-SOT-89-/173385936437
I would install a proper fuse before attempting any more repairs. It can do some real damage if it’s not there and something else is wrong.
