I modified four N64 controllers with Arduinos, and made them worse.
Four modified Nintendo 64 controllers against four friends, who will be the victor?

That Battletoads intro is my childhood haha.
What was this console used as an ashtray
Does it need a video cartridge for the system to show picture on the TV?
Just an FYI boys, do this with the Yobo Expansion Paks and thank me later.
I seen wd40 has a contact cleaner just got one bout to try it out
I know this video is 3 years old but helped me out! Question for you though, I'm trying to identify a resistor on the back of the board. In the FIL11 spot. I know it's 1.3 OHM, but outside of that im lost haha. And I MAYBE had one pop off and cannot find the tiny thing anywhere. Any tips on replacement? Cheers!
I'v done this a few time's today with the thermal paste. Before i did the thermal paste the xbox one was working and now it won't even stay on for 10 seconds. Can anyone help please
Nice has the same problem but when I take the board apart it all looks in great condition… any ideas??
I didnt know an rgb led would work without a controller board, looks good. I put a blue led in a nes that i had rebuilt the case for, it was smashed up. After doing bodywork on the case i painted it white and light blue, so it needed a blue led to go with it lol.
Thanks for the teardown, although I was cringing when you grabbed those turbo knobs with the bare metal of the vise-grips, I would have used a rag.
Gane "console" not a council. Capacitor, not "compacitor"
"Game" not gane.
Plug controllers in it, says, controllers are not plugged in. I do what it says, turn it off. Plug it in turn it back on, and it says the other controller's not answer. I do the same thing. Turn it back on, then it goes back to the other controllers not in, but it is
It is better to combine instant thinner with alcohol ، Thinner is the best solution for removing sulfate.
I put a slow flash RGB LED in one of my NESs. I also did a blue LED in another one.
I cleaned mine yesterday, all the buttons work fine but the controller creaks when pressing the buttons hard. Is this a common thing or shall I source a new controller?
I have several NESs. One I put a slow flash RGB LED in. Another i put in a blue LED. Both look far better than the factory red one.
so you went to all that effort of taking it apart and didn't bother to clean the dust and crap out the heatsink
no one seems to be able to solve the random resetting issues i have. power light stays on but will randomly go back to bootup. no broken pieces, reset button not stuck.
try replacing the power supply and reset button
yeah, I had to sand the one i got down quite a bit. it didn't have the issue with sliding into the slot but it stood too tall and made it so the lid wouldn't fit back on comfortably
To get an accurate reading, you should remove the cap from the board. However, testing while in circuits gives false readings. That cap is probably perfectly fine.
7:30 i think you just destroyed the controller . the alcohol on the black connective pads is not good. it erodes the carbon on there. its gonna take a lot of pressure now to press the buttons... dont use rubbing alcohol on the black parts. just lightly brush it or something.
My n64 works fine but when I turn off the system and swap games the video doesn’t show. The power light is on. If I unplug from the wall then plug back in it works. What can that be?
I've been doing this with Gamecubes
How we buyed 2015 we opened low dirt and i played very much
Such a waste to put those nasty stickers on that console it's already a solid looking limited edition xbox
Great video!
Didn't know you could slightly 7:00 ajust a cartridge to get rid of lines. Wow! Lol😅
what did you wipe the plastic frames with? I’ve been dying to know
Noooo purple is my favorite dont ruin i.. you already did
i had the cover off and my buddy put the expansion pack on backwards and now nothing works.. any idea what he did?
He shorted the power to ground.
@@Zestypanda so is the power brick toast ?
@@Zestypanda or did he toast the expansion pack?
Recently found my old 360, its dirty as hell but still works, now i just have to clean it
My go to for dirt cleaning is a toothbrush, way easier than a cotton swab on those grates. And a little water moist. If you need to do thorough cleaning, iso-propanol is the only safe liquid. Apart from cleaning, I found some carts to have thinner boards, and those are a real pain in the ass. Any solution for those? Solder everything on a replacement board?
I've got a smart TV I'm trying to hook up the N64 but I can't get any color? Everything else works
You are a legend. This is one of those UA-cam Oprah eureka moments when you learn what reflowing is and how it help fixes a dead potato. Thank you sir. ❤
That esr cap tester u got, where did you buy it?✌️
Was cleaning my SNES mini controllers so a little different insides but definitely helped :D Thank you!
Oh no! It has xenomorph eggs in it!
"and it looks good" but board is burned out..... sorry man but this wasn't clean at all 😢
I mostly work with old electronics and this is my go to. Simple green, paint brush, hot water. After washing rinse it with denatured alcohol to displace the water and hit it with compressed air and let it dry for a few hours. If the circuit board is the super old Phenolic type then spray some WD40 onto a rag and wipe it down. As long as you don't saturate it in WD40 it's fine.
Hello, I have a N64 console, and its not displaying on the TV. Do you take in consoles for repair??
But with no game can i see anithing?
I followed this guide exactly and the eraser rubbed the gold finish off all the pin connectors on my NES cartridge...
You will need a 5 mm led bulb for this people !
Why do people replace them?
That one of the problems with aftermarket parts is not being exactly like the original every time but I used to buy aftermarket jumper packs which about 2 or 3 out of 10 that I have problems with them.
Sorry man posted wrong comment in the wrong video.
@2:34 is exactly what my issue is currently with a console I got off facebook market place for 30 bucks.. i took it to ubreakIfix and they didn’t know what to exactly do with it.. geeksquad wouldn’t touch it either.. my local retro stores didn’t have a person to work on it either
Are you having issues with removing the shell?
@@RetroKevin no, it was mostly the video not working. I found a local guy I've known for awhile that will work on it for like 50 bucks
Man, that was gross...🤢Good video, but... now i have the urge to get up and wash my hands.😅 I did a restoration of a 20xx PS3 Slim 2 or 3 months ago which i bought from a smoker and it was in similar state (greasy brownish dust balls all over the place and even inside the PSU). Iirc, there had to be even some liquid spilled all over the place (the metal housing and drive were partially corroded). BTW, i'm a smoker myself, but don't smoke indoors or in vicinity of other people. I really despise those selfish f*cks who do.
It's really hard to get the smoke smell out of this stuff. If this was for a resale I would have done a lot more for cleaning. But it was going back to the original owner.
Just use a magic eraser sponge soaked with IPA for the connectors.
