Besides the repair part, I'm glad to know I can take the cover of the controller port assembly. Bought a SNES locally and sanitized/cleaned every aspect of it except this part. I'm glad I've come across this. I can retro bright the cover to remove the yellowing finally, maybe hopefully. Thanks for this.
Thanks so much for this! I'm in the middle of restoring some broken PS2 controllers, and one of them had completely corroded input pins. I managed to get it working with vinegar and isopropyl, but the corrosion is still so heavily caked on there that I know it's only a temporary solution. I'm going to have to do it slightly differently since the rust remover will just flow out of the plastic piece, but now I have a much stronger starting point. Appreciate the video!
Just did it and it worked great! I haven’t played my snes in 2+ years because of this problem and I even saw your video that long ago but never did the repair. I just did it right now and it’s now working like a charm! Thank you for your recommendation !
Thanks for the tip! I had an SNES system with a bad port for controller one. I found your video doing some research on how to fix it and sure enough 3 of the pins were pretty corroded. CLR, alcohol and a few minutes of work and it works as good as the day it was made!
I just repaired my snes on Sunday night 2019 thanks to this video.! I didn’t remove the port from console, but i used syringe and everything works fine like used to.!
I watched this video years ago but was too afraid to take apart my snes. I opened it up and got cold feet because I didn’t want to damage it worse. But maybe I will try what you did by not actually removing the controller port.
Thanks for the video, Brad. I got a Super Famicom off of a junk bin in Japan for a spell and it has the same problem. I'll give this a shot! Hope I can find that anti corosion solution... Cheers!!
CLR can be very corrosive, so I wouldn't recommend it in most cases. Some deoxit or parts cleaner and a few qtips would be my recommendation for cleaning off corrosion. Perhaps even some low abrasion metal polish, like flitz.
Would this type of solution work with the connectors of the controller ports of the N64? I'm dealing with an N64 board that has corrosion on the copper connectors for the ports.
It may work. The important part is to only get the solution on the parts you need cleaned. in another words, try not to get it everywhere,and keep it off your skin.read the instructions and warnings before using. Cheers!
hi Brad thanks for the link , i've given this Album a listen and holy shit you guys are awesome. I think it would be great if you guys upload single tracks to RUclips. Also nice fix on the SNES , i will keep CLR in mind when dealing with corrosion........thanks again
awesome news on album number 2 , btw i pickup a Tool influence in the music and vocals which is really difficult to perform. You guys have some great talent and skill.
Are there any alternative products to the CLR that you or anyone else could recommend? I'm in the UK and I would have to ship CLR from the US. Some other kind of household descaler?
Any product that claims to remove oxidants such as Calcium, Lime, or Rust, hence the name CLR, should work perfectly, look for something in your local supermarket.
+Brad Tratzinski i hope so. I just got a NES from a flea market and everything works fine. But not the controllers. I took everything apart and mario still wont move. I'll clean the contacts tomorrow and let you know if i had any success 😉

Very nice. I think white vinegar would also yield those same results.
Thanks for the video, Brad. I got a Super Famicom off of a junk bin in Japan for a spell and it has the same problem. I'll give this a shot! Hope I can find that anti corosion solution... Cheers!!
When I get back to look at one of my N64 consoles which has a lot of corrosion on the pins, I'll definitely keep this in mind.
Thanks alot brad being struggling with my controller my pins look green just found out thanks for the tip
This may be the solution I need to fix my childhood SNES's controller port problem!

Nice solution!
How do you crack open your snes to the point where you started cleaning it?
This also works with NES, Super Famicom/PAL SNES and N64.
Would this type of solution work with the connectors of the controller ports of the N64? I'm dealing with an N64 board that has corrosion on the copper connectors for the ports.

You're the best !
U used alcohol to clean up the pin? i mean the regular pinky one?
Thank you for the video! Had the same problem!
Sweet! I'm glad my video helped!
THANKS FOR WATCHING!
I have a problem with my yoshis island game. I wonder if you have any tips for fixing it?
Can you explain to me what happens when you try to play it?
+Brad Tratzinski when i turn it on, nothing hapens at all.
+August Bredesen Opset i have also cleaned it with pure Isopropanol.
Just discovered you but very nice

That is Splitbelly that I play drums in.
You can grab our digital album at www.splitbelly.com
Thanks for watching!

Thank you. We are in the midst of recording album number two. I just may post single tracks, good idea!

Awesome
Vinegar works great for corrosion.

Sorry, I don't know.
Thanks for watching!

I bet white vinegar would do just fine.
do younthink this works on the NES too?
I would say yes!
+Brad Tratzinski i hope so. I just got a NES from a flea market and everything works fine. But not the controllers. I took everything apart and mario still wont move.

@@Felsinator Did you have success?
Wow
I think you mixed up "unconcentrated" with "concentrated." Unconcentrated would really mean diluted. ;)
