I've never seen one of the new style Super Nintendos at all, it's so odd looking! I want one now, lol. I'm planning to clean my Super Famicom and Super Nintendo soon, so this video is going to be helpful! Thanks :D
The metal inserts in the bottom of the case are used for things like the satellaview accessory that bolts onto the bottom of the snes, its stronger than screwing into the plastic case. the separate sound module is also only found on the launch model snes, it was integrated in all other revisions.
@PlayerOneStart Perfect. That's what I thought...need 10V output I believe. I just picked up a used console here in Japan, but I'm not getting any output signal on the RCA connections. 🤔 That's likely why it was so cheap. Power LED does come on. I'll have to troubleshoot more back in the U.S. Any thoughts on what could be the issue? Thanks!
Could be a few things. The obvious I would check for are, correct power adapter (use a known good working power supply), swap RCA cables (make sure you don't have a bad set), switch displays / RCA jacks (make sure the TV is accepting input). Swap the game (make sure the game is a known working copy). If you can try RF, I believe CH 95 or 96 on US TVs may display the signal. Clean the contact pins on the cartridge and cartridge port... Aside from that, I would have to open up the console to troubleshoot further.
Good news! The console is up and running! I cleaned all contacts with isopropyl alcohol. Then video out with the RCA connector started working. I was suspect of the original RCA cable, so I swapped it out with a new repro replacement. Everything is working now. 😀 Thanks!
My old SNES issue was the controller ports, totally corroded where it wouldn't recognize any controllers. I have read that is common problem for the SNES. My old Genesis is still fully functional though, like a tank. Also N64 works like a Swiss watch.
yeah its a earlier model that has the sound module like that...later models do not have that anymore...one would argue which model has better sound...I would say the one with the module but who knows You shoulda did a component mod while you were down in there, couple capacitors and wires..drill in the RCA outputs..done deal
Thanks for showing the process.
Taylor, I really enjoy these tear down and cleaning videos. Also, your choice of music is always great and fits really well.
Glad you like them!
you can remove the cartirdge slot in order to clean it from this version

Were you able to use the original 100V wall wart from Japan or did you use a different US power supply? Thanks!
@@geneh9210 I used a US power supply with the same output voltage needed.

That N64 will outlive us all! 😜
Now I'm scared to open my Super Famicom for a cleaning.
Well worth it, but some cringe to it.

@VideoGame Polak, Thanks. That is an idea. Maybe I'll consider doing that mod in the future...
I bet it was as disgusting in person as in the video!
