Chosen Solution
Hello and thank you to anybody looking at this post. I recently bought a famicom off ebay in box with four other games, the original box was tattered but the console was in decent shape. I tried to use the japanese RF adapter with my TV but soon found that it does not work on US televisions. So I bought a US RF adapter and the console still shows no video… Any troubleshooting tips? I don’t have any idea what is at fault here and I’m not familiar with the famicom either… Thanks!
@af5000 since it does not power on you do want to go ahead and check the power supply. After that, take it apart and follow the schematic for further troubleshooting. Nintendo Family Computer (Famicom) Teardown
