Jaybell Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Actually, my NES is not really broken. I have no trouble playing games on it, so long as you keep the cartridge on the right of the NES. The problem is the audio. I connect the NES to my TV with audio/video cords (the white/yellow/red things), but sometimes, when I'm playing, there's a humming coming from the TV. (The speakers, not the actual television itself. ) Sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it's soft, and sometimes it's loud, but it's there. I switched the cords, and it still hums, so the problem is either the NES or the TV. Halp plzkthx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseph Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Try turning off every single thing in the surrounding area except for the TV and NES. Audio cables can sometimes pick up hum from electrical equipment, and that could be what's happening here. If that doesn't work, hit the TV good and hard. And if that doesn't work, I'm out of suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybell Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Off the top of my head, nothing else is on, except a computer on the complete opposite end of the room. And maybe the DVD player? The NES is surrounded by a 64 and a Wii, but they are off. I will try with the DVD player off, and then maybe the computer. Thanks for the advice! Even if it doesn't end up working! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogle! Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Sounds like you may have a ground loop. If applicable, Try disconnecting any coax cables (the screwing ones) from the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybell Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 I have no idea what ground loop means, BUT if I understand correctly, you are saying that the cables that are "screwed" (lololol) into the NES are the problem? Unfortunately, I haven't got any cables other than the power and the audio/video. Still need to try w/o dvd player, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogle! Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I meant the coaxial cable that comes from your wall (like from your cable company), if you have one. If you have one hopoked to a TV, VCR, ect, that is attached to a stereo, you'll hear a low hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
