1990s SMD electrolytic capacitorps. #Nintendo #SNES

Closeup of the circuit board from the SNES I’m working on. Some of the SMD capacitors have clearly leaked and corroded the traces around them.

Apparently, C59 which has the worst leakage is supposed to be a bipolar cap. Nintendo corrected it in the next board revision. 🤦 #Nintendo #SNES
