Never opened up a retro console myself but it's so much nicer than modern consoles, especially since there aren't like a hundred different screws inside.
This is exactly what needs to be done to our SNES, but I’ve never soldered anything before nor do we have the equipment to do it yet. It is something that I want to learn to do and fix our consoles if needed. I think this is a good video to understand the various steps to fix that part.
I'm in this exact boat right now I inherited my childhood super nintendo and somehow the power plate is broken. I ordered everything to do it. I'm just worried about the soldering
Pro tip for desoldering - add fresh solder onto the existing old solder. It'll liquefy much easier. Use a desoldering pump to get the bulk of it, then use the braid to remover what's left. Lastly, use a flat tip on your soldering iron so you can heat up a larger surface.
real neat thing to do with a console like this that has a power jack problem is replace it using a usbc port kit Very much worth it unless you want full oem

Moving to this type of content will be massive. Keep it up 👍
These are old videos that I never posted. I would expect very little repair tutorial type content going forward lol
@@JacobRTWO you should do them anyway and make a playlist then be done lol

A good trick to desolder those two pins is adding lots of solder so the pins get bridged and both get hot at the same time.
I used this video and just fixed my childhood super nintendo. Thanks soo much and add a video about soldering if you plan to do this yourself
Im liking the new content.

Awesome 😂😂😂awesome entertaining ❤❤awesome videos entertaining
Key thing about soldering. Don't buy a cheap soldering iron. Go big on that.
I watched this video as self punishment
Watching a dude with adequate equipment being completely clueless about how to properly desolder a component
Wow, that's some crummy design. I would've upgraded it to HDMI and USB-C instead of dealing with all that!
