hi bro my sega saturn controller has the same issue I will try your method and see

@ImmodderNation Год назад

Did you try it? Let me know when you're done.

@TheSkum Год назад

it worked at first now the yellowing has returned god dammit @@ImmodderNation

@matchesmalone79 5 лет назад

Thanks dude, got some og snes pads and the 8-bitdo bluetooth diy kit to go inside. Now they will look better too

@ImmodderNation 5 лет назад

How's the Bluetooth wireless kit working? Now I'm intrigued! Glad to hear the cleaning worked out.

@jasonreed6262 3 года назад

What about the contacts on the board? How did you clean the board? What did you use?

@ImmodderNation 3 года назад

Rubbing alcohol and a qtip.

@jimfath Год назад

Supplemental: Mix a spray bottle of half isopropyl alcohol and half distilled water (NOT tap). This is a generic all purpose electronic cleaner that breaks down oil and evaporates quickly leaving no residue. (tap has a lot of minerals in it) I use this when I clean desk phones, cell phones, mice, and headsets (among others). Traditional cleaners and soaps can sometimes lower the efficacy of the silicone push buttons after you have cleaned them. If you want to sanitize, you can increase the alcohol to 60% and lower the water to 40%. We do this when recertifying a headset. Works great on ear wax and oil on ear buds. They come out like brand new. Also great for removing make up from some devices.

@ImmodderNation Год назад

Good advice, thanks. I've got some airpods that need cleaning too. I try to use gentle soap since alcohol can make silicon dry and brittle.

@Jimble 3 года назад

Hi! I just want to ask, what about controller parts that have stickers attached to them? Such as the stickers on the bottom of the Mario Paint mouse. Would those come off if I let them soak in hydrogen peroxide?

@ImmodderNation 3 года назад

Come off? Probably not. Get damaged? Likely.

@FilthyIcon321 7 лет назад

You did a wonderful job in this man! And it was so awesome to see the process. Thanks :)

If I could get ahold of that screwdriver bit, I could do the entire console. Glad you enjoyed it.

Does this work on an xbox 360 controller?

@ImmodderNation 3 года назад

Probably would. It should bleach white plastic. I don't know for certain and I'd hate for you to ruin your controller

@101taker7 3 года назад

question instead using the sunlight can I use a UV light that I got? And can use any peroxide hydrogen from drugstore 3% or 12%?

@ImmodderNation 3 года назад

3% works but 12% is better. Just be sure to use gloves. UV light should be fine as long as you wear protective eyewear.

@101taker7 3 года назад

@@ImmodderNation ok thank your help! I have with "35%" peroxide Hydrogen its alright to use it?

Might wanna dilute that first. That's really concentrated!

I have a question... The hydrogen peroxide works with the n64 controller? I have a transparent purple controller and looks like yellowing. What can I do?

@ImmodderNation 5 лет назад

I don't know about transparent plastic. This guide is for that cream white plastic the NES and SNES are made of.

@zachfutv9986 3 года назад

@ImmodderNation 3 года назад

I'm actually surprised plastic dyed purple would turn yellow. If anything I think it would turn orange. Color theory, right?

@zeldashairytaco 4 года назад

Can you elaborate about temperature? I want to try this myself. However, I wasnt sure if the plastic would become damaged from soaking in hydrogen peroxide that became too hot

@ImmodderNation 4 года назад

Hydrogen peroxide solution is mostly water and unless its boiling, it shouldn't matter. I don't know what kind of sun you have, but i've done this many times and the temperature of the sun has never been an issue.

@EpicEric25 2 года назад

i tried this and my controller is still yellow

@ImmodderNation 2 года назад

You may have to try the retrobrite paste method and wrap with plastic wrap. Otherwise cue up the Coldplay cause it is all yellow.

@antfbi 3 года назад

Retrobright works the same and is better

@ImmodderNation 3 года назад

Can't honestly say. Never spent the money. DIY retrobrite worked ok for me with another console.

Work on xbox case white?

@ImmodderNation 4 года назад

Any type of white plstic, but your results will vary. Seems to work best on Nintendo consoles from the 90s.

just use a ziplock bag fill the bag and the hang the bag out like laundry in the sun to dry /

@HydeRocks12 5 лет назад

this happen to my white gamecube controller if i do the same thing would i get the same result

@ImmodderNation 5 лет назад

Should work. It's the same plastic. Don't forget to take the controller apart first.

@guse4182 Год назад

a restoration video but bro doesnt show or give any idea how to assemble it back together 🤦‍♂️

How did you take it apart? Do that in reverse! Like share and subscribe. 😂

@hec5426 5 лет назад

The lower part of my S-Nes is super yellow. Do you think that if I do the process 2 or 3 times (considering that maybe the first time I will not get the result that I want) it will improve the de-yellowing?

@ImmodderNation 5 лет назад

Probably won't need to do it more than once. Try it first then see what happens.

Hi Chris. I don't own that controller, but here's a teardown of the 8bitdo NES 30 Pro which is very similar. tinyurl.com/y8boawzg

@Sean-us5nc 6 лет назад

how did you get the controllers to not float?

@ImmodderNation 6 лет назад

They all float down here, Sean. JK, Tape it to the bottom of the container with strong masking tape before filling with hydroegen peroxide.

@Sean-us5nc 6 лет назад

Thanks. If this works well it will be WAY easier than painting hair bleach on the stuff.

@ImmodderNation 6 лет назад

Just make sure you use gloves. The UV of the sun caused the peroxide to react. I reached my hand in and it damaged some tissue.

@Sean-us5nc 6 лет назад

Yes, I laughed when you did that.

i used hot water and a magic eraser with dish soap and if its still yellow use alcohol with the magic eraser again took about 15 mins from tear down and clean

That sounds like a lot of hard work and elbow grease. The peroxide is almost fool proof...until they invent a better fool. Good job any before and after photos?

Yes. Didn't work. Cleaned the dirt but not the yellow staining.

Take it apart, remove electronics, submerge the plastic case in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 6 hours, reassemble. Saved you 9 minutes. 😎

I cant unscrew it the screwdriver is just carving a round hole into the screw

@ImmodderNation 5 лет назад

Try to find a flathead that is the same size and use that to unscrew. You might need Screw Grab to get it out or just drill through the head, pull out the screw, and replace when you put it back together.
