Super Nintendo & Super Famicom: Teardown & RetroBrite Clean!
16Note: This video goes public on 8/10/24 at 0900 Pacific time.
In this video, I will be showing step-by-step how to tear down a Super Famicom and Super Nintendo to get them ready for a retro bright bleaching session to get rid of yellow plastic.
There are a ton of tips and tricks and easy to follow steps. I documented some easy to follow tips and tricks to make sure that you don't lose screws or misplace parts.
Then I'll take you through the step-by-step assembly process, including a method to reinstall the eject lever springs which can be a little tricky. I documented and show the differences in the motherboard and the case designs between the super Nintendo and the super Famicom.
I will also show how to disassemble and retrobrite bleach a Nintendo entertainment system, controller, and clean the circuit board and membranes.
If you want to play Super Famicom games on your Super Nintendo without having to use a cartridge adapter, I will show you how to modify the Super Nintendo cartridge tray so that you can use imported Super Famicom games on it.
I will show you how long is "too long" and what can happen to the plastic if you leave it out in the sun too long.
So get ready to restore your old Super Nintendo and Super Famicom
