With a few lines of text and your hands you show more emotion and charisma than most people in the world that is one of the many things I like about your videos also I must thank you because every time I see you fix controller, consoles,and other gaming apparatus makes me relieve my childhood again and for that I thank you
I love the care you show for every single thing you get. Especially since I grew up on the gamecube this really warms my heart seeing the love and care you put into cleaning and restoring it.
Looks like the original owner buried it in their backyard for a couple years and then came back for it. The bugs and grime inside were gnarly. Love your vids, and that you go the extra mile in your cleanings/repairs, even down to the screws!!
I've watched a lot of your videos and it still amazes me that you can take something that is absolutely disgusting and doesn't work and make it like new again, awesome job.
Watching your content makes me feel close to my dad. He did tinker a lot around the house and stuff. He sadly passed away this february due to cancer. So in a weird way, thank you.
a year later and your videos are still top tier, i am a huge retro game fan i watch the gba video and got me thinking about my gameboy pop that bad boy open turns out battery no bueno. thanks to your videos i very much appreciate your channel !!
A few months ago I came across this channel at 3am and got hooked. Last week I restored my old Gameboy and I'm about to start restoring a second I bought online, thanks for showing me how easy and fun it is to restore broken electronics :)
they were made for the wii, oddly enough. Sakurai wanted people used to playing Smash on gamecube controller to be able to transfer their muscle memory over from melee. they figured it'd be a good idea to sell a wii brawl bundle with new GCCs in case people's old controllers were showing signs of wear, though it was only made available in japan. releasing new controllers is a tradition that's continued for every smash title since, though the JP whites have long been considered the highest quality stock GCCs money can buy, at least for smash.
Always appreciate the extra effort put in these videos. Didn't even stop at fixing the controller problem, even polished and sanded down the controller's nails to make them look nice too!
Bro you SAVED MY LIFE! I tried opening and tinkering with my GC controller, I opened and tinkered successfully, but couldn’t get it to go back together, but I remembered this video and carefully looked at what you did and figured it out. The circley thing in the center of the motherboard was backwards 😂😅 but I put it back together and it works fine and better now. Thanks a billion! Much love to this channel and keep up the excellent work! ❤️🔥
I had a rough day, and was trying to find something soothing to help me fall asleep. Then this popped up on my feed. A few days after posting but right on time to help. Thank you.
Your technical skills are SOOO Under Rated I WISH this was possible To give someone a old malfunctioning gadget Pay them ANYTHING and get it working again BIG BIG thumbs up man !!!
Hey odd, I found an indigo Nintendo GameCube controller at a local collectible store, got it with broken sticks. They included replacement sticks for free, so I opened it up (I already had tri-wing drivers) and replaced the sticks. There was bad dirt build up, but I repaired the entire controller, and it looks and works like new, your videos inspire me to do similar things, and I really enjoy it. Also the isopropyl alcohol worked like magic :)
15:31 skill Man this was pretty awesome to watch. I could definitely try on my own but seeing this video makes me want to watch others do it. Thanks for posting! Also this would work great as asmr lol. The ad that played was loud though so that spooked me.
theres so many times my first thought was "hes totally just going to buy a replacement for this part right?" especially the screws, but im impressed that it was just completely restored.
Still one of the absolutely best controller layouts, hands down. XBox took a lot of inspiration from this, and USB controllers with gamecube layout are almost fully compatible with layouts for XBox
Behold the power of the magic sponge. Might take a while but that's the most useful cleaning product I have in my house. I always keep a box under every sink I have.

It's not special. You just have nostalgia for the things he restores
Agreed.
I got so unexplainably excited when you started cleaning the screws, it's that extra mile that really completes the whole thing.
YES! When we saw the back of the finished controller I was BLOWN AWAY at the difference that made
melee players be like:
"nah bro its my trusty controller"
Nah all our controllers are modded out of their minds trust me
you can tell they were airial spamming with a and x
Melee players have controllers worth $400 to have them be modded and custom, its crazy
@@kestrel7493 yeah but to be fair the modders have to pay rent and shit

For those wondering the little dot on the screw usually represents that is a JIS (Japanese Industry Standard) type screw.
Makes sense given that white gcn controllers were only released in jpn and you had to import them.
