Nintendo 64 (N64) Controller Repair - Analog Stick Replacement - Unedited
0**This is the original, unedited broadcast of the N64 analog stick replacement on a controller**
Going to replace a loose analog stick on a Nintendo 64 controller. Will be using a Gamecube style stick instead of the original style - I was planning on doing both styles but both I was sent were identical though I had ordered different ones through different suppliers (one of them screwed up). Probably just as well, gave me a chance to practice first so I won't be caught unawares when I do this live.
Only tools you need are phillips head screwdrivers - you'll need a small one for the screws by the memory card slot. While I am in there, I will also clean it up as necessary and check the contacts. Won't be changing out the silicone contacts today as I believe the buttons are OK on this unit (a project for a later date).
After I finish it, I'll then give it a test run to see how it compares to the original. I've read mixed reviews of both styles (which is why I wanted to do both) so decided to check them out for myself and share those results.
