    I have a US Super Nintendo (Board SHVC-CPU-01) and it powers up fine but on screen (via composite) the screen flashes white 5 times and occasionally stays white with a black notch at top left. Pressing reset causes the screen to jump as would be expected. If I use an Action Replay then the menu comes up normally (so it finds the ROM on the cart) but then back to the black screen.
    The game I am using to test works fine in my other SNES and the AV cable works on that too, so the problem is with the console.
    I have replaced all surface mounted capacitors and only have C63 & C64 left (I'll do these once I get the parts but I suspect nothing will change).
    I suspect a chip has died but would like to hear any suggestions.

    Or, if you're lucky some broken traces. But most likely dead cpu.
