Hi
I recently got an AV Famicom on eBay. Was listed as not working, that's fine. When I got it, I noticed two things:
1. When powered on, all the voltages that should be +5V, are around +1V only. That made me think of the voltage regulator, but replaced it and same thing still happening.
2. When powered off, there is very little resistance (around 20 ohms) between ground and +5V. Is this normal?
I already tried removing most chips from the board (except for a custom Nintendo BU3266S chip and the VRAM chip which is stuck). Even with most chips out, all the symptoms persist.
Thanks for any pointers / help.
