Hello,

I have a Famicom problem. I'm hoping it would be pretty much the same as an NES problem and that someone has encountered this before. Anyway, I don't have the actual Famicom rf adapter. I am attempting to use a NES rf adapter which I assume would be the same. I am also using an actual Famicom AC adapter, so I know I'm good there.

When I Hook everything up and POWer on the system, no matter what channel I'm on, I get a snowy picture. The image is still of the show that is on TV, just snowy. It looks as though when I attempt to POWer on a NES on higher channel.

Any ideas what the issue may be? I would appreciate any leads. Thanks!

I think the Famicom does use a really high channel for RF, you've tried EVERY channel?

Trust me, I tried every channel my tv and vcr had. I was able to Hook up another Famicom today with my same NES rf adapter and it worked fine on channels 95 and 96 I think it was (when switching between channel 1 and 2 on the back of the system). No such luck with the other Famicom.

I'm sure now there is a problem internally. Nothing appears loose however. I'm thinking about attempting the composite AV mod to see if that will bypass whatever the problem is.
