Restoring the $1 broken and yellowed Nintendo SNES - Vintage Console Restoration & Repair - ASMR

- čas přidán 7. 02. 2022
- 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
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.
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!

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 CZcams 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
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.
This man is systematically fixing my childhood lol
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
facts
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.
Like every great retro console repairman, he blows into his cartridges.
Blowing into cartridges, Good memories of the past
Yep
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.
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'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.
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! 🙏
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!
I almost lost it when he did the traditional "blowing on the contacts" trick. Oh, the memories 🤣🤣🤣
Wow, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
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 -^_^-
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.
I love you. You fixed up one of the greatest game systems ever made. Mad Respect.
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!
I love this channel. Great restoration videos
That was the second console I had. There’s a lot of great memories. Thx!
Mindblowing restoration, unbelievably good.
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
Very good restore, like SNES when I was a childhood.
Played my favorite game of all time! 🔥🔥🔥
thanks for watching❤️
What a great job! Bravo!!!
Thank you very much!
Love these videos!
I had the same console when i was a child. Sure brings back memories. 😊
Seeing this SNES restored brought a tear to my eye.
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.
@@CBS70s Retro Repairs? Hmm I will write that down and check it out if its like these 2 for sure! Thanks!😀
16:28 um arrepio seguido de uma lágrima. Gostinho de infância e aquela saudade.
Un lavoro ECCELLENTE,guardando la console prima e dopo,il SUPERNES e' rinato.gran lavoro
Blowing into the cartridge: a classic Nintendo console owner's first line of defense.
I love how he essentially gave the console a whole new life again.
Amazing restoration thanks
Thank you too!
Very cool!
SNES is my favorite console!
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!!!
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.
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
Have no clue about repairing systems but I couldn't stop watching just cause it took me down memory lane
More than a few times watching this video, I was like "What?! No way!" Hella cool work man
I really do like videos like this. I get to see what's on the inside and everything.
thanks for watching❤️
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.
Thanks for restoring my childhood 👌🏾💯
These videos are always satisfying to watch to me
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😂💕
Wow, that thing has lived a hard life. Awesome that he brought it back to life.
This is super satisfying to watch
Great job as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Parabéns ficou perfeito!! Eu ainda tenho o meu SNES que comprei em 1994
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.
dude needs an Academy Award for patience...so awesome 💛💗💙
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!
Your tutorials to repair retro consoles are excellent!
You've just won a new subscriber from Argentina!👋👋👋
Thanks and welcome❤️
Thanks and welcome❤️
Out of all the games you had to play the original aladdin….you are a true man of taste
You have no idea how many memories you brought back with that Aladdin game
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!❤️
Great restoration. Keep up the good work! 😊
Thank you very much!
@@resEG Most welcome. 😉
I like your videos cause you get right to it and dont bore everyone with silly stories, good video.
*Shoooow!!! ❤️👍👏👏👏 Full Perfect Restoration!*
Excelente restauração, você tem um grande talento, parabéns. Mais um inscrito com toda certeza.
Muito obrigado❤️
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!
To be honest I did not know I was even interested in stuff like this but here I am and I am hooked
Thank you for your service, gamer
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! 🙏
great restoration thanks
This was amazing ☺️☺️
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
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
Outstanding!
Its rare to see consoles like these nowadays
I still have one that basically looks new. My favorite game console ever made.
He has learned the all powerful skill of instrumentation
thanks for watching❤️
Whoa was the capacitor the only true functional failure? That's awesome! Love this video.
Me inspiraste a restaurar cosas buena restauracion del super nintendo
Muchísimas gracias💕
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.. ;-;🤌
@@user-nj7eh4bq8j 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 😢
You did an amazing job
You are a magician, man.
Why are you trying to play a PAL game on the US SNES?
Good work 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
That capcom sound, chillss
I adore console restorations. Thank you so much.
Glad you like them!❤️
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.
Top de mais.... Lembro da minha infância.. momentos que não volta mais 😢😍
Good job!
Great restoration
thanks for watching❤️
Ficou top!
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.
Not bad at all. 7/10 repair for sure and you managed to get it working! Great job!
this is lowkey healing to the soul
Console Pitatex, aí sim eu dou valor.
Eu ainda tenho o meu e funciona perfeitamente
Very good video my friend, I wish you all the best and success.💯💖👌👍
Thank you very much
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).
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.
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.
Give this man a Nobel Prize
This, made my heart feel good. C: Thank you sir
Thanks I really appreciate you! 🙏, thanks for the comment! 👍😊
