SNES wont recognize controller

Look for input on box then use red and white on last two

Potential mistakes, Coaxle cable not screwed on tightly or wire inside is missing. Tv is on channel 3 i'm assuming, If it's not as simple those open them up, should be some screws on the bottom, and just make sure everything is plugged in look for anything that shouldn't be clean it then plug it in and try it again before taking anything apart, Old consoles are touchy, use isopropyl alcohol to clean anything connected to the motherboard or that will conduct.

In the Menu, you may need to adjust the Source you are choosing, and also look for the Audio menu, which will have option as to where it's coming from.

Well onlhy use the old consoles on CRT tv styles then.

Hello,

Try the game with another TV to see if you will have same problem. If you do not have that problem that means the TV you are using is faulty.

Thanks for contacting Fixya.

Easy!! Im a game collector and i still have a SNES. The solution is simple

If you have a digital box then that means that a cable goes to the box and from the box a cable goes to your Tv. What you should do is unscrew that cable that goes to your Tv and you will screw the SNES coax cable notice that the SNES cable has and input coax cable entrance aswell so you can screw the Tv cable back in to it so you wont miss watching your fav channels after you finish playing awesome classic games on the SNES

I had the same problem. I took my Z760 apart and put in a joystick from a used Z760. But the problem is that the joystick comes unglued from the small computer board. Take it apart and put a tiny drop of superglue on the joystick. Use a magnifier to line up the two little tabs in the proper holes. It should work fine.

The CIC chip, also known as lock out chip, may have gone bad. Here is a quote from a site I found.

"Every SNES control deck has a regional lockout chip (known as a CIC), as does every original SNES game cartridge. Before a game is loaded, the console will attempt to communicate with the CIC chip on the game cartridge. If the CIC chip doesn't respond or does not correspond with the consoles CIC, the console won't load the game. In most cases, a black screen is displayed."
