I Restored This Yellowed Junk Nintendo 64 - Retro N64 Console Restoration

  • In this episode I will restore this Nintedo 64 (N64) which is very yellowed and doesn't show any picture on the TV. This model was originally transparent blue/white but now it's more transparen green/yellow. There seems to be also some damage from water or other liquid.
    To open the console, I need a special tool usually called game bit. Such screws can be found in many Nintendo consoles. The N64 has a ton of different types of screws so it's especially important to make sure I know where they go once I'm putting it back together. I use an ice cube tray for this purpose as usual. I also marked different screws with different colors in the video. However screws marked with same color in different parts of the video are NOT similar.
    After all the plastic parts were disassembled from around the electronics. I cleaned the plastic and used method called retrobrighting to remove the yellowing from the plastic. Tutorial to retrobrighting here: • How to remove yellowin...
    Next it was time to figure out why I had no image in my TV. With older consoles not having a picture is usually much better sign than the device not powering on because I know the board is not completely fried. Both cases could still be result of major damage but from my experience that is often just a result of lack of connection at some point. If something had, shorted the console would probably not even turn on. In this case I found there to be damage dirt under the game port which could affect the console, but most likely there was a cold solder joint, which means the poer for my AV cable was not connected. I resoldered all the joints and the console started working. Often it can be enough just to melt the old solder and it's not even needed to add any new solder.
    Thanks for watching my video!

    I’m 13 years old as of now, but back when I was like 10, I really wanted an N64. After a few years of trying to get one, I finally gave up. Until one of my older brothers old friends (That I hardly even knew!) offered me his extra N64. It was miraculous! I ended up taking his offer (obviously)! I ended up hooking it up to a CRT TV (that he ALSO gave me), and put it in my room. So now, underneath my loft bed, I have an old CRT TV with an N64, a GameCube, a PS2, an Original Xbox, and a VCR all hooked up to it. I love to use the the TV to play GoldenEye. With my 2 older siblings!

    When watching restoration tutorials for a GBA, I noticed a lot of people would just throw away and replace the outer body, which to me kind of feels like a Ship of Theseus situation almost. You literally took a doomed N64 and made it look like a brand new system right off of the production line. Without replacing every part. And you made it mesmerizing.

      I bought an ebay listing of 24 of these many years ago, they looked absolutely trash. Like...something you'd get out of a smoker's den. I didn't care, however, because i only needed the screws, hardware, and some of the other bits that were otherwise rusted or corroded.
      Surprise, to me, when i got them and 15 of them were in such good condition, after clean up, that i managed to restore them to mint condition, not even the usual scratches you'd find on the bottom or the cartridge areas. The ports weren't loosened, they simply sat on someone's dirty shelf (likely a repair store or something).
      The rest were dead, burnt bits, but even those cleaned up to be respectable shells.
      What you see is not what you get, and whilst you usually get bad eggs, you can also find good deals. Very good deals in my case, i made up the price of purchase tenfold.

    I just want to say that your channel has been a real inspiration. So thorough and so funny at the same time. Your content inspired me to fix up some of my old consoles. Started with my Gameboy Advance and after cleaning out the gunk inside, it works like it did when I first bought it. So I just want to say thanks for showing me that even the most beat up gadgets can be repaired.

    Repairing and restoring by hand is an art. It will never be the very most profitable, but it damn sure may be the most gratifying and rewarding. I think the positive effects it has on the brain (mainly teaching us to embrace and build patience and discipline) are profound.

      Sharing this video on my chat, someone commented the following:
      looks like it was in a workshop
      woodworking
      probably in the rec room on an open shelf
      whatever the case, it was definitely in an open space lol
      for a *very* long time
      Which, yeah, I guess that would indeed result in the thing being drowned in dust inside and out.
