SNES Edge-Enhancer Installation Service

If you're unhandy with a soldering iron and don't want to risk damaging your console, I offer a professional installation service. I will take great care in servicing your 2CHIP SNES as you say “goodbye” to those blurring pixels and “hello” to pixels so sharp they'll cut your eyes! A complete system recap is mandatory with this service and is therefore included in the pricing.

Features and Info

First and foremost, this is not a “sharpening” filter. This kit not only dramatically reduces noise and improves color fidelity, but also recovers video content, eliminating the blurred video that the original chipset is most notorious for.

The improvements to video are not only beneficial to RGB, but S-Video and Composite Video, too! The Edge-Enhancer yields visuals that are comparable to the sought-after “1CHIP” SNES, greatly leveling the playing field and making the more affordable “2CHIP” SNES hardware much more attractive.

The dreaded SNES “vertical bar” is also eradicated and is no longer a visual disturbance when outputting RGB video. The SNES Edge-Enhancer is a video recovery appliance designed only for 2CHIP SNES systems.

How To Order

• You MUST test your SNES prior to shipping. Running the burn-in test found on the “SNES Burn-In Test Cartridge” ROM is the best way of doing so.

• Shipping a failing, incompatible, incomplete, previously damaged, or improperly modified SNES may result in a $50 inspection and handling charge, plus return shipping. Please verify your system before sending it.

• Add the service to your cart and select the options that you want. Select "Pay Later - Installation Service" at the payment screen during checkout.

• Once checkout is complete, your service order will be submitted to me. When I am ready to receive your console, I will respond via E-Mail with shipping instructions.

• Do not ship your console until shipping instructions have been provided.

• Pack your SNES carefully. Send only the console. Do not include games, controllers, cables, power supplies, cartridges, accessories, or unrelated items unless I specifically request them.

• The SNES MUST be fully working unless an existing fault has been disclosed and approved in advance.

• Write your order number clearly on the shipping box. I must be able to identify your property once it arrives.

• Do NOT send your console using Signature Confirmation unless I specifically approve it in advance. If special arrangements are required to retrieve or sign for a package, an additional $20 handling charge may apply.

• The customer is responsible for all return shipping charges, including optional insurance, signature service, expedited delivery, or other requested carrier services.

• Once the work is complete, your invoice will be updated to include the cost of return shipping and any other previously authorized charges. Tracking information will be provided after payment and shipment.

Service Commitment and Cancellation

Once your console has been shipped or delivered to me for service, the service order is considered committed and non-cancellable as provided in the site's Terms & Conditions.

By shipping your console, you authorize the installation, inspection, testing, disassembly, modification, repair, and reassembly reasonably necessary to perform the service selected in your order.

Once the console has been shipped for service, the order may not be cancelled merely because you change your mind, no longer desire the modification, sell or replace the system, or because the estimated turnaround period has been exceeded.

Nothing in this section is intended to restrict any right or remedy that applicable law does not permit the parties to waive.

Turn-Around Time

I will not sacrifice the quality of my services for a break-neck turn-around time. Under normal operating conditions, the estimated turnaround time for this service is 5-28 business days after the system has been received and entered into the service queue. Many systems are completed sooner.

All turnaround times are estimates only and are not guaranteed completion dates. Turnaround may be extended due to workload, unusually high order volume, illness or medical emergency, staffing limitations, parts availability, supplier delays, technical complications, undisclosed problems with the system, equipment condition, shipping delays, or other circumstances that reasonably affect normal business operations.

The estimated turnaround period is not a "time is of the essence" contractual deadline. A delay beyond the estimated turnaround period does not, by itself, cancel the service order or create a right to cancellation or refund, except where otherwise required by applicable law.

I will make reasonable efforts to complete all accepted service orders as promptly as possible while maintaining the quality of the work.

If a condition is discovered that materially changes the scope of the requested service or requires additional customer authorization, reasonable efforts will be made to contact you through the designated support system.

Payment and Return Shipping

Payment for this installation service is not due when the console is initially submitted. Once the authorized work has been completed, your invoice will be updated to include the service charge, applicable return shipping, and any other charges previously authorized.

The customer is responsible for all return shipping charges. Return shipping is not included in the advertised installation price unless expressly stated otherwise.

Payment must be completed before the finished console is returned. Completed equipment may be retained until authorized service charges and applicable shipping charges have been paid, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Communication

For questions or support regarding an existing order, please use the integrated ticketing system.

The ticketing system is the designated support channel because it allows your communication to be associated with the correct order and console.

Messages sent through social media, Discord, YouTube, forums, private messages, unrelated E-Mail accounts, or other unofficial channels may be missed and should not be relied upon for order support.

If the ticketing system appears to be unavailable or malfunctioning, please use another contact method published on the website to alert me to the problem.

After Sales Support

The SNES is more than 30 years old, and I cannot guarantee the continuing reliability of unrelated original console hardware. I do, however, stand behind my installed hardware and the workmanship of the installation service.

If you need support relating to work I performed, please submit a support ticket.

I am not responsible for problems caused by unrelated aging hardware, pre-existing faults, third-party modifications, customer modifications, incompatible cables, power supplies, video processors, displays, accessories, improper use, or other conditions outside the scope of the service I performed, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.

Disclaimer

I strongly recommend that you do not drop-ship a system directly to me from eBay or any other third-party seller. You should personally receive, inspect, and test the system before submitting it for service.

I cannot verify representations made by a third-party seller regarding the condition, functionality, completeness, authenticity, or repair history of a system that has been shipped directly to me.

Only send the console and any items specifically requested for this service. Do not include games, cartridges, controllers, cables, power supplies, adapters, storage media, accessories, or unrelated property unless specifically instructed to do so. Responsibility for unsolicited or unnecessary items cannot be guaranteed.

The customer is responsible for accurately representing the condition of the system before shipment. Systems received with undisclosed faults, previous modifications, corrosion, physical damage, missing components, improper prior repairs, or other conditions outside the scope of the ordered service may require additional inspection, labor, parts, or handling charges as permitted by the applicable service terms.

The SNES is vintage electronic equipment. Original components may fail because of age, deterioration, corrosion, prior repairs, manufacturing defects, electrical stress, or other conditions unrelated to the service performed.

I do not guarantee the future reliability or continued operation of original hardware or components that are outside the scope of the work performed.

Any warranty provided by me applies only to my installed hardware and workmanship as described in the applicable service or warranty terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I am not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from service delays, loss of use, third-party hardware incompatibility, or failures unrelated to the work performed.

This service page is subject to the site's Terms & Conditions. In the event of a conflict between these service-specific terms and the general Terms & Conditions, the service-specific terms will control with respect to this service only, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Nothing on this page is intended to waive, restrict, or exclude any right, remedy, warranty, or liability that applicable law does not permit to be waived, restricted, or excluded.
