Restoring the $1 broken and yellowed Nintendo SNES - Vintage Console Restoration & Repair - ASMR
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- This week I have decided to fully restore this super yellow super Nintendo entertainment system.
First, I remove 6 security screws from the base to allow me to separate the two halves then once inside I can start to take it apart properly, first, I removed the power switch then the cartridge ejection lever I then removed all the screws from the motherboard and removed it from the lower casing.
The capacitor was swollen, In all cases, swelling is due to the buildup of internal gases as part of progressing failure mechanisms. A failing electrolytic capacitor typically generates hydrogen gas as the electrolyte solution begins breaking down. This causes a build-up of internal gas pressure which swells the case.
I then washed the plastics in soapy water to remove all grime and grease in preparation for the next step which was to soak them in Cream Peroxide Developer 40 Volume and UV light for several days to remove the years of yellowing that has taken place, This process is also known as retr0brite.
I show you how to remove the yellowing from vintage plastics with the Retr0bright method.
How to Restore a Yellow Super Nintendo the Easy Way
This video will show you how to make your yellowed SNES look almost new again.
Coat the plastic in hydrogen peroxide to fix discoloration. Hydrogen peroxide works well on plastics that have turned entirely yellow instead of in just one spot. Fill a plastic bag with enough hydrogen peroxide to cover the plastic. Stick the plastic in the bag of hydrogen peroxide and lay it out in direct sunlight. Wait 3-4 hours before rinsing it off with clean water.[5]
You can purchase hydrogen peroxide at a drugstore or big box store.
If you’re treating some sort of plastic mechanism, make sure you remove all the parts that aren’t plastic before putting them into the hydrogen peroxide.
You can also use an old toothbrush to scrub the hydrogen peroxide onto the plastic if desired
Thank you for watching my video!

I'll have to admit, I laughed when he blew on the cartridge's connecter. That is an excellent repair technique, right there.
speak portuguese shit nossa velho que raiva
Yeah, anyone who has ever owned an old cartridge console knows that. It actually worked.
Só traduzir, melhor do que ficar com raiva pq gringo ta escrevendo inglês
@@spike5689 ele falou assim: tenho que admitir, eu ri quando ele soprou o cartucho. Essa é uma excelente técnica de reparo, bem ali
Ele riu quando ele soprou o cartucho, e "não quebrou". Ele riu pq fazíamos isso pra o cartucho pegar antigamente. Kkkkk o cara tem que falar a língua dele ué
Amazing job there. Really! I have always received an extraordinary amount of satisfaction from seeing something restored to it's Original state. The whole idea has always fascinated me. On a side note: I am fairly positive that was our families SNES growing up. No joke. Same chip of plastic missing by the power light, the color pencil or pen markings at the area behind the cartridge the yellowing wasn't that severe but it was starting to get there. Fond memories. Thank You Sir!
Did you see the cockroaches in the SNES?
If you had a hardware clone, maybe. The pcb is definitely not made by nintendo, in this case. Likely a clone sold in south america where Nintendo did not have any official sales channels during the SNES days.
I always wanted to be like this guy. When i was a kid i use to watch my dad try to fix small tvs and radios. He had no idea what he was doing.
Your dad is not alone I also try to be Handyman no need nobody
I think everyone of us did such thing in life at least one time LOL
😂
Same
Your dad sucked.
This guy is genuine, not one of those people that are like “oh wow i have coincidentally found a game console in the middle of a field!” He actually bought a junked one off of ebay
Thank you very much!
There’s actually quite a number of people doing that now for UA-cam as well.
Someone had bought a bunch of things like, a few Nintendo switches, gameboys, I think some PlayStations, but I don’t remember, one of those things I listed could be wrong, but it’s still so cool to see that we’re reviving this planets dead devices that instead of got taken care of, got trashed.
One thing I’m concerned about by a lot though is, will there even be a new game store taking over GameStops reputation?
There’s a GameStop over where I live, the sign was taken down though and has no signs that say you can buy the store, so this is curiosity growing for me, I wonder if downloading games from the internet will really actually be helpful by a lot, or if it will prove to not be that reliable
I really agree 👍 💯 with you 😊
Agreed
that's exactly the case
The fact that you blew into the game cartridge made this all the more nostalgic. The SNES was my first ever home console.😄
no
Yeah...... no. Actually blowing on the cartridge slot is a bad practice, since it introduces moisture of your breath on the slot and promotes its oxidation over time.
It was certainly the reason the slot was quite grimy on the first place.
The "but it works when I do that on my console" folks forget they often try several times until it works, not because they blown on it (as they appear to think) but actually because the motion of insert and remove the cartridge several times can break free some of the oxidation and promote a good enough of a contact for the game to work as intended.
Contact cleaner or IPA and a light brushing with a toothbrush are a real fix for bad contact with cartridges. The slots are quite resilient, but let's try not to kill them with saliva, shall we?
@@iveslima4211 yeah actually at the time this came out most American families had pets. They weren't trying to blow the corrosion off, they were blowing out cat and dog hair. Also most people arent introducing enough moisture into the air when they blow out as to cause that much corrosion, unless your a savage with not concept of control.
Mine was a Coleco Vision
I never had to blow out a SNES cart. NES on the other hand…
Amazing Work! I got a SNES at a yard sale a few years ago for 25 cents! It was all yellow but I just took it home and cleaned it in like 10 minutes all the yellow was gone. I just used regular soap and a hand towel. Then I hooked it up and put games in it and it worked perfectly. An amazing deal for 25 cents.
I'll buy it for .50 cent.
Lol
I got .75 cent
Three fidty!

I'm happy they are still people who is rebuilding the old games I'm very happy about it 😭💛💛💛
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Well he didn’t rebuild the “game”. He rebuilt the CONSOLE.
I learnt the hard way that you need to turn the screws clockwise to get them to cooperate while turning them counterclockwise. Broke standoffs on two consoles, but one of them had only 1 broken standoff of the 6. The other was half of the standoffs.
Sadly, the newly acquired SNES died on the operating table and the other one I'm getting soon is a 1Chip variant that needs a lot of work, so I saved the new caps, fuse, VReg, and a couple of parts that'll make the 1Chip SNES work.
This video pleases me and always makes me want to buy the filthiest SNES consoles, clean them up, test them at first, and recap.
I almost lost it when he did the traditional "blowing on the contacts" trick. Oh, the memories 🤣🤣🤣
Wow, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Great job restoring this SNES it’s nice to watch this and see more of these consoles get restored back to there original state so that the world can have more and make it easier and cheaper to buy one
This is a clone console. You can tell the pcb doesn't have any nintendo logos and it has way more and different components than any official revision. Not really saving an original in this case, but the video was enjoyable, all the same.
I nearly scrolled past this, but seeing a vintage SNES was just too cool not to see! Beautifully done, and very nostalgic. Also, I remember that game!
Honestly, seeing videos like this make me want to learn how to do restorations like this. So awesome to see an old system from my childhood get repaired -^_^-
This man is systematically fixing my childhood lol
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
facts
You have my respect sir! This was an important part of my childhood.
Thanks I really appreciate you! 🙏
For those who don't understand why MANY people prefer the original console to modern emulators, its nostalgia. If you have fond memories playing this console as a child, nothing but an original console will do. It's a great feeling to relive happier times.
@@resEG Couldn’t have said it better myself. *God bless you!* 🙏🏾
Yeeeaah the restoration of the SNES was cool but the fact that you remembered where that 1Up was after all these years was really impressive lol
Great Job 👍🏾
Thanks a lot for the comment and kind words! Glad to help! 🙏

That is awesome! A great deal for 25 cents only, you are lucky. thanks for watching❤️
The way the new box came out super clean and white and fresh! I fell in love with it!. First time looking inside a nes as well! Love your videos keep at it
Awesome! Thank you!
16:28 um arrepio seguido de uma lágrima. Gostinho de infância e aquela saudade.
You have my respect sir! This was an important part of my childhood.
I love you. You fixed up one of the greatest game systems ever made. Mad Respect.
Amazing work. I have 2 SNES. One was the one we abused and older relatives smoked so it got yellow. I do not know if it works still. This made me know it can have life if not. Amazing work you put into these retro systems.
Smoking doesn't cause yellowing uv light and the bromine on the plastic is.
Like every great retro console repairman, he blows into his cartridges.
Blowing into cartridges, Good memories of the past
Yep
This person clearly has knowledge & skill about repairing game consoles and the tools to do right also I willing to say that there will ALWAYS be a demand for people to repair something whether a car or a game console the value is there just time and money, practice at the craft and you can do it to.
My childhood, some of the best parts of it, were possible because of this beautiful piece of technology. Earthbound, Breath of Fire, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy - I appreciate the art that goes into fixing something so amazing 🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Not to mention the BEST Nintendo game series of all started on this console. STARFOX!!!
There is just something about a random person on the internet fixing up old nostalgia things that makes you feel calm and collected after a tough week.
Have no clue about repairing systems but I couldn't stop watching just cause it took me down memory lane
Restoration EG and Odd Tinkering are my two favorite fixing channels! Very relaxing too!😃 Nice job, SNES is one of the best consoles ever made.
Glad you like them!
Retro Repairs is also a good channel.
@@KTVH12 Retro Repairs? Hmm I will write that down and check it out if its like these 2 for sure! Thanks!😀
Seeing this SNES restored brought a tear to my eye.
Very good restore, like SNES when I was a childhood.
a soprada no cartucho foi o melhor, só quem já teve um SNES sabe disso
Esse ASMR desde o primeiro barulho, é como se eu estivesse mexendo. E o sopro na fita é no momento exato. O ritual foi feito de forma perfeita kkkkkkkkk...
O Super Nintendo foi o meu primeiro console, tira várias fitas, comprava super barato, porque na época já tinha o PS2 e ele era considerado ultrapassado, mal sabia eu que ele iria valer uma fortuna hoje em dia. Melhor época
como que a barata foi parar dentro do SNES ?
esse snes ai que ele ta restaurando, me parece um snes pirata
Excelent work, and on top of that you elected to let the work speak for itself as opposed to narrate it. Always a pleasure seeing the work of people who know what they're doing
Nuh, I would have loved info on each step, what the chemicals used are, and what they look for.
I’m not sure why but this video really improved my mood, I’ve been having a weird morning until he started to disassemble this SNES😂💕
I love how he essentially gave the console a whole new life again.
I had the same console when i was a child. Sure brings back memories. 😊
Wow, that thing has lived a hard life. Awesome that he brought it back to life.
Blowing into the cartridge: a classic Nintendo console owner's first line of defense.

thanks for the visit
Just restored my old SNES and this helped a lot, thank you. I did not Retrobrite though, first, because both the outside AND inside of the enclosure are the same shade of tan/yellow, the yellowing is so thorough I have my doubts the Retrobrite process would be very effective. Secondly, similar to the unit in the video, there are already broken bits of plastic around the delicate edges of the enclosure halves, and in my experience Retrobrite-ing makes plastic even more brittle. I did have pretty good success repairing the broken edges at the corners using the old superglue + baking soda trick (used pieces of tape to create a mold for the glue mix).
I really do like videos like this. I get to see what's on the inside and everything.
thanks for watching❤️
That was the second console I had. There’s a lot of great memories. Thx!
that still yellowed part drives me crazy :D
Follow others they remove it
Yeah it seems crazy to get the rest of it so perfect and then leave the part with the logo like that. I could imagine him not wanting to wait another couple days just for one plastic part, but it does hurt.
Very cool!
SNES is my favorite console!
This was awesome....I need to break out my old SNES and get back to playing it, some of those games were just straight up amazing, including that Aladdin game, it was one of my favorites
I liked it on sega better
You have no idea how many memories you brought back with that Aladdin game
Great job, but I can not say I am surprised. Many years ago, my house burnt to the ground. Afterwards, I found my SNES and games still zipped up in a duffel bag, completely submerged in brackish water. I left them to dry for a few weeks and everything worked good as new for about 5 more years, and still did when it was stolen.
Sinto muito amigo
To be honest I did not know I was even interested in stuff like this but here I am and I am hooked
It was great to see a full restoration. It takes me back to Saturday afternoons when I didn't have cable and didn't want to watch the boring Saturday afternoon movie one the cartoons had finished.
Thanks I really appreciate you! 🙏
Played my favorite game of all time! 🔥🔥🔥
thanks for watching❤️
Damn, earliest console I played as a kid was the N64 and that cartridge blowing brought me back in time. :)
thanks for watching❤️
People did not blow on N64 games?
@@gr8t1bobo They did. My dad was the reason I learned to do it as a kid
@@gr8t1bobo I did
Damn im old...nes was my first system
Thank you for your service, gamer
Out of all the games you had to play the original aladdin….you are a true man of taste
Really awesome. New subscriber here! You don't really see others check the consoles motherboard and try to repair that. Most people just clean it and presto it works just fine... Great job. Wishing the best 🙂
Thanks for the sub!❤️
Not sure how or why this popped up on my feed, but happy it did! this was nice to see, great work man.
Awesome, thank you!❤️
Great vid and restoration. Would have never imagine a salon care product used to clean up the shell like new!
Its rare to see consoles like these nowadays
I still have one that basically looks new. My favorite game console ever made.
Thanks for restoring my childhood 👌🏾💯
The guy who sold the SNES thinking it was broken watching this video: 👁👄👁
To be fair it's a crappy bootleg console that's not worth much even in working condition.
He has learned the all powerful skill of instrumentation
thanks for watching❤️
Your tutorials to repair retro consoles are excellent!
You've just won a new subscriber from Argentina!👋👋👋
Thanks and welcome❤️
Thanks and welcome❤️
More than a few times watching this video, I was like "What?! No way!" Hella cool work man
I love this channel. Great restoration videos
Whoa was the capacitor the only true functional failure? That's awesome! Love this video.
Parabéns ficou perfeito!! Eu ainda tenho o meu SNES que comprei em 1994
I would take it apart..clean it..and forget how it goes back together hehe. This guy is awesome.
Interesting to see a clone SNES. I knew something was off by the sticker on the bottom of the console. Just didn’t look right.
Blowing in it was a nice touch. XD
Blowing in cartridges brings me to great memories, thanks for watching❤️
Parabéns pela forma que você restaura.🇧🇷
Vc sabia que este não é o super original
@@Riley4R Sabia sim eu vi na hora que vi os chips kkk
Dá Hora!
dude needs an Academy Award for patience...so awesome 💛💗💙
Excelente restauração, você tem um grande talento, parabéns. Mais um inscrito com toda certeza.
Muito obrigado❤️
What a great job! Bravo!!!
Thank you very much!
I remember that sound OMG reminds me 10 years old
Thanks for the comment! 👍😊
Why are you trying to play a PAL game on the US SNES?
Give this man a Nobel Prize
It’s so easy to do what this guy does. Just when I do it, the device doesn’t work afterward
Ya it helps to have some electrical knowledge, like knowing that capacitor is blown, well how many people would catch that.
That's alot of work, one intelligent man. I know I couldn't do it.
Que nostalgia boa, é tão bom relembrar essas coisas, eu amava jogar no snes, corria da escola pra casa só pra jogar e o melhor de tudo foi você jogando Aladin, eu tinha a fita 🥰
Orra.. Mano.. Foi a melhor época da minha vida.. Na minha cidade tinha uma loja que vendia e trocava fitas.. Na troca vc dava uma fita e 10 conto.. Ou comprava uma fita por 20.. Mano.. Eu catava latinha e papelão pra ter dinheiro pra comprar fitas.. Era tão bom.. Eu amava super Mario.. Eu tinha vários.. Mano.. Meu olho enche de lágrima só de imaginar que esse tmp já era.. ;-;🤌
@@웃-f5s eu também juntava latinha e vasilhame de pitu e 51 kkkkkkkkk era muito bom. As fitas usadas eram super baratas, todo mês era uma e ainda tinha dinheiro pra jogar Warcraft e CS na Lan house. Nós era feliz e nem sabia 😢
We need people like that in Brazil to fix our video games, worse than when we send them for repairs they make excuses like there's no way and the like being that the video on youtube with those who repair from other countries belies that and everything else, congratulations on the great repair.
Great restoration. Keep up the good work! 😊
Thank you very much!
@@resEG Most welcome. 😉
this is lowkey healing to the soul
Love these videos!
Un lavoro ECCELLENTE,guardando la console prima e dopo,il SUPERNES e' rinato.gran lavoro
Amazing restoration thanks
Thank you too!
Not bad at all. 7/10 repair for sure and you managed to get it working! Great job!
Me inspiraste a restaurar cosas buena restauracion del super nintendo
Muchísimas gracias💕
I can hear the plastic go "ahhhh" when it's getting a long overdue bath 🚿
thanks for watching❤️
Looks perfect but the yellowing tint on the top part there you missed otherwise good job
Thanks for the tip❤️ I was afraid of soaking it in the Cream Peroxide for more than 72 hours so that the super Nintendo logo should not be affected. Thank you again.
@@resEG I noticed the same thing. Then you can try to cover the "Nintendo logo" with Durex or some kind of tape...then you soak it good with the peroxide, I'm not a professional, just an idea.
Mindblowing restoration, unbelievably good.
Top de mais.... Lembro da minha infância.. momentos que não volta mais 😢😍
Those 8-bit startup sounds really hit different in 2022
Personally I would prefer some explanation during the video. For example, why replace only that cap? What causes the red blinking light? Etc. I like the video but without the explanation I don't learn much , which is something I like to do when I watch restoration videos . Thanks!
Follow others they explain it
I'm sure there are more in depth videos, maybe they cover diagnostics and soldering. Personally I hate it when an instructional video talks too much. These are good as-is.
The ball at 17:00 knocked over a good cup of coffee ☕️
Console Pitatex, aí sim eu dou valor.
I couldn't help but laugh and smile the second I heard you blow into that cartridge , the memories man lmao
Good work 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Dang I have one my father gave me it was actually his original one he got as a kid, that bad boy is still working
Leaving so much rust on cartridge slot is so disturbing...
Yeah, leaving some yellowing on the top half of the case too! But retro consoles restorations is always amusing to watch anyways.
This is like a handyman ASMR video. He can probably resell that.
How could you tell capacitor was bad? I'm just starting to get into understanding how to fix things like this. I was looking for a bulge on top but I couldn't really tell.
Around 10m25s it shows a close up, I think it’s visibly damaged, maybe wrong. But he may have tested it for continuity, or just determined this by it not powering on. I’d like to know too, just sharing notes.
When I was in my electronics course they said when the surface on the top of the capacitor is stuffed, it is an indicator that the capacitor is bad
@10:25 he shows it taken off of the board so you can see it better. See how it looks puffy and the black casing was being pushed up and the bottom was puffed out? Most commonly you can see them on the top they will puff upwards instead of being flat, this cap however was bulged at the bottom.
Electrolytic capacitors like this are very common fail components in electronics. A recommendation is to change all the electrolytic capacitors (radial and axial) since they are most likely common to fail first, especially if you plan on selling electronics that you repair that way it is less likely to come back to you soon after a repair. If something isn't powering on, those are the first components you would look at to swap out, even if they don't show visible signs of being bad like being puffy or any other outer physical damage. Also, usually when they go bad you can usually smell them, they stink kind of like fish. When they go bad and leak like that, it's a light reddish-brown color so you could look for that around the caps to see if they went bad as well.
Hilarious that you first tried blowing on the cartridge! Great stuff!
Thanks for the visit❤️
I miss the ducks.
