Well, picked this up at goodwill for 5 bucks. I'm wondering if it's an noac. One big problem. It wont turn on. The power light doesen't turn on. Well, heres some pics. Info appreciated.
Embedded little pics for you poor, poor dial uppers. Heres a link to my flickr page which has the bigger pics http://www.flickr.com/photos/kylechu/
Now, THE INSIDE! WOOOOO!!!
Look, with a name like that, could it be anything but an NOAC?

I'm using batteries. They're new. I've tried 3 sets. Nothing appears broken on the inside. Probably someone fried it at goodwill with the wrong power supply.

The only place I've seen these before is http://www.qvc.com. They used to have a dedicated Plug-N-Play games section, with mostly NOACs, but that url is no longer working. Searching for plug play gets some things to come up, though.G-force wrote:That's a great find! Just think how easy it would be to do a cartridge-slide-down-the-back design. You could just slap a family converter on there, and you'd practically be done with the wiring! Anybody know where these are coming from?

well, it would help if it worked.G-force wrote:That's a great find! Just think how easy it would be to do a cartridge-slide-down-the-back design. You could just slap a family converter on there, and you'd practically be done with the wiring! Anybody know where these are coming from?
Do you think it might possibly be not working because I dont have a cart in it? I mean, it's probably wishful thinking as the power light doesen't even turn on, but wishful thinking never hurts.

well, get yerself a famicom cart and give it a go. some systems do require the cart to be present to complete the circuit. Also, you should make sure none of the wires are broken and that the voltage regulator isn't fried. I know from experience, those 7805's aren't that hard to fry if you plug in the wrong power supply, but then, they aren't that hard to fix either.
Emulation isn't accurate. There is no substitute for real hardware!

Well, got more pictures. They're the first 6. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kylechu/
The one I think shows the problem is this one here
What are those ripped paper looking things? Could that be the problem? It's on the board with the switches and has the buttons glob top. Doesen't have video or audio, or have the power cord going to it. It isn't even connected to the board that does those things directly. Both of those boards go to the little orange board, that goes to video, audio, power, and batterys. None of the other boards look fried, or smell funny (like that one)
