my Super Nintendo is receiving power(AKA the light is on.) but i get a black screen and i can hear a small buzz coming from the speakers. has my motherboard gone bad or is it something else?
Is this a good question?

the cartridges were dirty "(even though i already cleaned them :| ) and the pins on the console itself were pushed outward. Works perfectly now… but i also have a problem with my N64 too

From what I have been reading it would appear that the “72 Pin Connector” is a common source for problems. Might want to check out (or similar) the following:

And while you have it apart, do a visual for for bulging caps, burn marks, dry or cracked solder joints, exploded components etc

could it be a short in the power cable? i laid it length wise and i got a little black screen. at least briefly.

@propman I had to shove a piece of paper in between the cartridge and the side wall of the slot...

@Jordan Fryman Which I suspect indicates the contacts are intermittent. Suggest you try what is recommended regarding the cleaning and readjust any pins that need realigning on the connector.
