My Atari 7800. Had to replace capacitors and a transistor to get it working again. Also added composite AV output.
I have a 2600 that needs the same treatment, haven't gotten to it
There is a website called Console5 that has tons of repair and upgrade parts. Replacing components in the Atari wasn't bad.
Hope you never have to replace the capacitors on a SNES. You're almost guaranteed to lift a bunch of pads unless you have a hot air station or a specialty tool that's half soldering iron half tweezers.
Thanks!
