These Super Nintendo (Super Famicom) consoles are both broken. I paid £26 for them on eBay. One of them has no power and the other one shuts down after 30 seconds.
Will I be able to fix them?
Hope you enjoy!
Steve
PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

These videos are fast becoming a serious FeelGood Fix for me; at the end of a tiring day (working on Sunday, boo, life, boo!) I get to watch a kind man fixing old machines and turning "junk" into perfectly usable consoles. And, on top of that, some nice tunes; don't care what the "haters" say (actually, I'm hard pressed to even imagine people "hating" on such a decent man for thanking his supporters in a funny way), I'm here for the songs as much as the fixes. Well done, keep it up.

The yellowing can be removed pretty well with some hydrogen peroxide. Especially the ones used for hair dye stuff is great to use, because it's pretty thick and stays on the plastic pretty well. But of course you have to mask the colored parts, as they will be affected as well. Works like a charm though and can really raise the price of something you want to sell.

That fuse and that voltage regulator are problems in the US versions too! I’ve done tons of work on them and I blew the fuse once myself lol. There’s a big problem with video signal having vertical bars that is solved by adding a cap to the regulator funnily enough so it’s got its own issues. The replacement shells aren’t too bad, for the price anyway. If the one you have is trash it’s worth the swap.

God your videos make me happy. The humour, funny music, and the super satisfying way that you do everything, thank you!

I had a Mandella Effect moment when you said you'd never taken apart a SNES before, guess I have watched enough other people do it alongside your videos that I merged the memories together! While any kind of short could probably blow that fuse, I've seen someone blow it during a fix by shorting to residual power (why it's recommended to flick the power on for a second while unplugged to use it up, you'll often see the power light flash for a sec).

I think MyMateVince has a similar repair. He did two SNES consoles in the same video as well. That might be the one you are thinking of.

As far as I can tell the SNES releases power very slowly, it takes the caps quite some time to discharge. You can see it in how long it takes the power LED to vanish once power is off

Another banger of a song. I think they're getting better and better. Feed on the hate my man. Also. If you submerge the yellowed plastics in a hydrogen peroxide solution and surround the bath with uv lights, it'll turn the color back to how it was in the late 80's early 90's. You probably know this already, but just in case you don't!! Thanks for the videos bud! Always enjoyable to watch. On multiple levels!

All snes consoles are faulty, as they get older their ability to let me win games declines significantly...shame they were good when new

Had one of these for Christmas back when first came out i was maybe mid-late teens, after a few years and some great game play later, sadly got rid as games just way too expensive for me at the time, now every time I see a 'fix it' video I think was that mine?

Have I said how much I like your humor? PLEASE, never stop being you. Freaking hilarious and I bet everyone at the pub enjoys having you around. Whatever happened to the SN with the purple rectangular slide buttons for power etc? Cheers
