For a couple a years ago the RF out port got broken on my super nintendo, when I put in a game it only gave me sound but no picture, so I started to use the multi out port instead. But now it has the same problem as the RF. what is the problem? And what should I do?

Locate the VCR's VHF IN [ANT, CATV, 75S(ohm)] or Cable Connector. Disconnect the existing cable wire from the VCR's VHF IN. Connect the short, thick wire from the RF Switch (labeled ANT) to your VCR's VHF IN. Reconnect the existing cable wire (disconnected in step 2) to the silver post labeled ANT on the RF switch. Connect the thin wire from the RF Switch (labeled Control Deck) to the back of the Super NES (labled RF Out). On the back of the Super NES, set the 3/4 switch so that it matches the channel of the VCR. Note on Sharp TV/VCR Combo After the system is connected to the VCR:
Insert the Game Pak firmly into the Control Deck. Plug the controller(s) into the front of the Control Deck. Use the far left port for player one. Plug the AC Adapter into the back of the Control Deck. Plug the other end of the cord into a wall outlet. Slide the Power Switch to the On position. Turn your TV and VCR on. Set up your TV and VCR the same way you would to watch a movie on the VCR. The game image should now be displayed on the TV screen. You are ready to play! Note: The RF Switch does not produce stereo sound. To get stereo sound, connect your Control Deck using the Stereo Audio/Video Cable.

You probably won't find a schematic for it at this point. You can probably use Google to look for pictures of the RF switch on the Super Nintendo, taken apart, though.
if you've tried 2 other super nes' and still no picture and sound.. don't you think it's the "yellow,red,white" cables that might be an issue? doesn't sound like a power cord is the issue at all if it's getting power to the "red light".... get a new y,r,w cable (sry.. tired and forget the name)
Taking your problem in a whole new direction, why don't you try purchasing an 8 or 9-pin (depending on the type of Genesis you have) DIN RCA cable. This will improve picture and sound, and you won't have to worry about malfunctioning RF converters. Your problem sounds like the RF adapters are inadequate.
The problem is likely in the IC soldered to your SNES circuitboard. The cheapest way to solve your problem is to replace the whole SNES circuitboard. These boards run about 20 dollars, Google part SNSPT007 or SNSPT009, depending upon if you have the older or newer version SNES. There is no soldering involved, so it should be an easy fix if you can open your SNES.
Well it could be the controllers but its probably that one of the wires have gone bad in the super nintendo. Maybe try replacing. Just and idea though.
provide a more thorough description.
