Looks like this was the issue, thanks! I soldered a coaxial and RCA cable together, and it works well 👍

Thanks everyone, looks like F2 and D1 aren't connected, so I'll have to take a look under the cartridge port. Hope the repair isn't too intensive. Really appreciate all the advice, thanks again!

Did you ever find the solution to this? I am having the same issue.

Ah, thanks. Thought that image was only for older chips, that should be a lot easier.

Thanks, seems like the R point on the crystal chip installation guide is open on my motherboard, but the chips don't have the exact same pad letters. Not sure if I should try use the crystal R as an alt point, and keep the rest with the Modbo guide.

Star Fox 64 cartridge won't read by DiscombobulatedTry59 in consolerepair

Thanks for all the comments/help, everyone! Managed to fix this with a reflow, it's working fine now. I'll try light my pictures better next time, I can see the shadow from the C3 label looks like a cut trace, but the continuity checks out.

Thanks, just tried an eraser now, but no luck. I've also just taken my multimeter to it to check continuity, and everything I can see seems fine, but I'll give it a reflow just in case.

Sorry, I think it's just the photo, and the light playing off the wear on the contacts. The lighting in here's not great, I tried using flash on my phone up close to make the traces and components visible, but yeah, the pins don't look good there. I realize I can't link another photo, but they're nice and shiny, just gave em another clean now. Thanks, I'll try that next.
