Hello guys, i have this super mario all stars snes cartridge, one of the diodes is broken, what diode do i need to replace the broken one?
also, the game runs fine winouth it, it even saves properly, its this damaging the game?
How the fuck do you even do that...
Google repro carts and stuff. Probably find a list of values. 100v 1a or something.

do you mean resistor? because D2 looks rather shitty
>>3117243
Generic small signal diode like 1N4148 or 1N914, both are fucking common.
>tape
The obvious sign that a retard worked on this.
There's a great reason for the special security screws to prevent dumb little brats to fuck up their games internally like in this case.
>it even saves properly
Then it falls off your hands and hits the floor, then you wonder why the saved data is gone.

i dont know much about components, im assuming D2 its a diode.
>>3117851
thanks for telling me which diode is, i dont know much about those.
>>3117851
Be surprised man. That was probably done by a grown man in his 30s.
>>3117904
it is
>>3117904
D=diode
R=resistor
C=capacitor

how do i know with which diode i can replace with?
and why does it work winouth one lol
and yes, i have to solder a new battery, tape its bad idea.

>not playing the game as the faggot who fucked up a diode when he pried off a dead battery and had to tape down the replacement originally intended.
>>3117908
as if how it is secured even matters that much.
>>3118273
Hackjob is a hackjob and it does matter, champ.
>>3118014
Also that little line with the arrow on it is the symbol for diode! It's been a while since ET A school, but I also think the direction is important as well.
>>3118025
I think diodes control the direction of flow of the electricity. It works fine without it under normal circumstances, but it could cause damage if something causes an electrical current to jump the wrong way.
>>3118342
yes a diode only lets current flow in one direction, I would worry more about it damaging the console than the game that is already hacked up .

>how do i know with which diode i can replace with?
d2 appears to be the same as d1 from here, maybe there is enough left to read the bands.
google "diode identification" or "identifying diodes" solder that battery in too.
