Re: Is my NTSC SNES dead?

First, I'd dismantle the SNES and check if any resistors or other parts on the PCB are fried (see if they're black or something). If everything seems alright, I'd try a PAL SNES power supply. With it, your WildCart (in case you have one) won't work, but you can see if your SNES works. Check BOTH polarities. The NTSC SNES has a diode in it that will prevent it from blowing up if the polarity is wrong.
If nothing works, just trash your SNES. There're plenty of them on eBay. I recently got one (my second US SNES :) for US-$20. Nice, huh?
