Capacitor leaked (Repost)
Earlier today I popped my Japanese copy of Mystic Quest into my Super Famicom and found all my saves gone.
Didn't think much of it at the time. Sometimes all the planets align themselves in the right way and my saves vanish. I start a new game and save. As a test after saving I switch off the Super Famicom and swap Mystic Quest for Final Fantasy VI. Once I'm at the game saves, I turn off the Super Famicom and swap back. My saves are still there. Okay. Just had bad luck.
Several hours later I start the system again and my saves are wiped again! I open the game up expecting a bad battery and I see this. The battery looks fine. I guess? But one of the capacitors leaked or exploded? The gunk is everywhere.
First time something like this has happened. Any suggestions?
