I will restore this broken and yellowed Super Nintedndo Entertainment System (SNES). This moden is the NTSC model for North America. The console is dirty, yellowed and won't play games.
I started with disassembly. The console has special Gamebit screws. Typical screw driver kits won't have a fitting tip and it needs to be bought separately. The console is easy to disassemble and it has only 2 types of screws inside. but it's important to keep track where each type is used.
After disassembly I cleaned the parts with watery soap. Next I put them in my retrobrighting box to remove the yellowing with hydrogen peroxide and UV-lights. Tutorial to building the box: • Making the Ultimate Re...
Tutorial to retrobrighting: • How to remove yellowin...
After the yellowing was removed, I continued to inspect the board. Usually problems with SNES are due to the cartridge reader. There was some corrosion near one of the chips on the board, which led me to notice there were cold solder joints. I reflowed the solder on the joints and cleaned the contacts for the game cartridge reader and the console started working. If you have issues and cleaning the cartridge contacts won't fix it, you can also use schematics to try to figure out what the issue is. You can find the schematics from here: wiki.superfamicom.org/schemat...
Additionally I recreated the missing Nintendo service sticker based on original stickers I have on my other consoles, not that I needed to call the service number ever ;)

@SoFishtry 2 года назад

Just so you know, the reason only the top half yellowed is that some plastics used in these machines were more susceptible to yellowing than others. They were molded in one place, then sent off to another for assembly, so machines frequently had a top from factory A (using a yellowing plastic) and a bottom from factory B (using a non-yellowing plastic). I've seen it the most with SNES/SFC units but it's true of a lot of electronics from the period.

@MrSubjetivo 2 года назад

I thought it had to do with the top part being the one that is exposed to light

@fireattack1 2 года назад

I still don't understand why the top piece yellowed so evenly even inside.

@finkamain1621 2 года назад

@@MrSubjetivo Sunlight can do that to plastics if it's directly exposed to them for a long time if you're home has older windows, but many electronics from this period yellowed like this SNES because of the type of plastic they used in some batches. You can tell it's the plastic's fault because everywhere on that top shell is yellowed perfectly on all sides, including the inside where the sun can't get at. It's also ironic that the UV rays reacting with hydrogen peroxide and reverse the yellowing

@nekoimouto4639 2 года назад

@@finkamain1621 yeah, the top shell was definitely made from a completely different type of plastic than the rest. considering how little the rest of the shell parts were yellowed i assume this unit didnt even sit in sunlight and the topshelf might have yellowed on its own without even ambient UV.

@TokyoChanSan 2 года назад

No I’ve seen many of these types of the yellow all the whole bottom and top shelves were both the ones that are white and then yellow have been modified and have been changed with other parts from other units this is not an original unit this is been put together from different parts. This is not an original top and bottom shelf.

Imagine being one of the main proponents responsible for the happy childhood memories of so many people around the world; a sanctuary for those who felt socially isolated, a way for those with difficulty making social connections to bond together and make friends, a way for families to grow closer, of introducing and inspiring young and growing minds to the possibilities, the fascination with, and the love of technology, programming, and science, and the domino effect that came from that influence. Makes it even harder to imagine what the world would have looked like if it hadn't been for people like Masayuki Uemura, Hideki Sato, and Masami Ishikawa, and everyone else involved in making the first generation of consoles, who thus helped bring the world of computing into many more homes than the early home computers could due to pricing. It's hard to imagine how one could not be content, looking back on such a life on their deathbed, having made such an impact on the world. Thanks seems inadequate, and somewhat meaningless. At least I hope he - and his colleagues in that early field - all saw our collective appreciation for their work, in the way the world changed due to their efforts.

It's just... *charming.* Plus, I mean, Nintendo has always focused mostly on child/family-friendly games, so "looking too much like a toy" does not really seem like much of a problem to me.

Great job! Just like I thought when I did a video of my SNES, you can Retrobright these too much, and instead of returning to the bluish-grey color they are supposed to be, they become bright white instead. It's unfortunate.

I think it looks good like that. Honestly had a mandela moment and thought that's how they were supposed to look.

@@jeremyphillips3087 I suppose some people don't mind that, I guess. To me it comes off as too much though, and in my mind it seems even more damaged that way. :(

This was the first console I played and owned. I got it when i was 5 years old. I remember playing Super Mario World on a grey wide CRT TV in my room. I spent a lot of time with this console. I still have the one I got when I was 5 and it still works. I hope to preserve it for several more decades.

I am a huge fan of your restoration videos! You probably were asked about it plenty, but what do you do with the Hydrogen Peroxide after the "anti-yellowing" process? Can you reutilize it? Or it just breaks down and becomes "normal" water?
