SNES Sprite Graphical Issues

[radiokid]

Hi

I have a standard PAL SNES, 2 chip design etc.

I've got it out to test before selling it and have found some weird graphical glitches. They seem to only have with sprites. I've attached some screenshots and linked to videos below. Would appreciate any input.

I've reflowed all the chips on the board, CPU, PPUs WRAM etc but it hasn't helped.

Looks like the dreaded "PPU rot". Had it myself.

No solution except to replace the PPU and honestly at that point you may as well get another SNES.

Thanks for that. Such a shame, think I’ll try the two RAM chips before I even consider the PPU, as like you said I may as well just buy a SNES when it’s got PPU rot. This seems to be the only console that really suffers from this rot issue.
