It isn't necessarily the PPUs. I have the same problem with two SHVC-CPU-01 and i'm pretty sure it's the CPU since there is no video OR sound in either. seems like a pretty common problem, and i've been trying to pinpoint the cause in case there is a realistic solution but it doesn't look like there is.

either way, in the SNES the CPU, S-WRAM, and the PPUs are all custom nintendo chips and are more or less irreplaceable, unless you take them from a working SNES which completely defeats the purpose. unfortunately, your best bet is to just buy a new SNES.
