Thanks for replies, sorry I'm late getting back, been tied up on other
things.
Guess I'm going to have to forget about repairing this, with the double
sided board would just about HAVE to have one of the expensive soldering
stations such as Pace, that sucks the solder out after it's melted.
I'll probably just put it back on ebay and sell as is, maybe get some of the
money back I paid for it. I was taking a chance that it would be something
simple to fix, such as problems with the AC adapter, or the TV connection
adapter (forget proper name for it), but luck wasn't with me! I replaced the
5 volt reg. but no help.

Schematic needed for Nintendo 101. This is the top load version of the

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.


Hey the

I don't know if this helps you or not, since this is for the original
NES, but a schematic can be purchased he

I am assuming that these schematics are simply reverse-engineered, and I
cannot vouch for their quality. I have purchased other things (mostly
VCR and microwave parts) from this company, however, and I've not had
any trouble.

Just curious: what kind of symptoms are you having with the system?
Are you seeing a power indicator at all?

Hope it helps,
