NES PPUs

[tighecg]

so I'm doing a NESRGB mod on my toploader and I broke the PPU. I have a spare toaster. Can I take the PPU out of the toaster and put it in my toploader? If I can will there be any differences?

thanks

Yes you can. No, there are no differences.

What did you do to that PPU? Did you fry it or did you rip a leg off? If the latter maybe it's salvageable by drilling the package and soldering to that.

ripped off a couple of legs

[kamiboy]

Even if you rip off a leg there should still a tiny piece of metal exposed where it exits the chip housing. You can most likely solder a wire to that and salvage the chip. If you cannot manage it yourself then consider passing that off to someone who can rather than just tossing it in the rubbish.

thanks guys. I'll try and put the broken one in the toaster
