Schematic needed for Nintendo 101. This is the top load version of the
original NES. The schematic may be the same for both, so would like to
obtain either.
Unit does not work, the 5 volt regulator gets very hot so seems to be a
short or low resistance somewhere.
It has a double sided board, and hard to trace the path from the
regulator.



Schematics are probably not available to anyone but an authorized service
center. 5v will go to the power pin of each IC, that's normally the
upper-left corner. Check for shorted capacitors, particularly if any
tantalum units are used, a schematic will not be very helpful, there's no
getting around having to remove parts and test them.
