I Bought 7 BROKEN NES Games - Let's Try To Fix Them

I wish I knew how to do anything remotely close to this🤷

SO MUCH plastic for such little boards.

What size enamel wire do you use ?

question. since you put the wires in the game to make it work does that bring the value down?

Have you upgraded your Playstation storage?

Immortal and festers quest thrown in the ocean

Is this guy related to the guy from Project Farm? They sound and look alike

The wiring on that first game Jesus
ANS THEN IT STILL WORKS!!! MY Gosh lmao idk all this is interesting. Makes me wish I became something with electronics in life

Pagare 25 dollari l'una delle cartccie rotte/malfunzionanti è una truffa

Use 2000 grit sandpaper with some rubbing alcohol which will wet-sand it lightly after cleaning to scuff them a bit. Makes it like new

The cassettes died by drowning, some soda and crisps consumed the detective in me says. Could have been popcorn as well.
But just to ask the obvious question, out of the 7 how many were you able to salvage?

Bro started with Festers Quest 😂😂 just throw that pos game away my man

Try a fibreglass pencil on the connectors.

Might be my imagination, but the tetris game almost looked like someone intentionally took sharpie to the pins.

2 hours of your life for a 5 dollar game?! Lol

this NES cartridges worth for Collection

Worth only $5 or not if I found Fester’s quest I’d make sure it was completely fixed That’s always been one of my favorite games🎮💙🔥

You probably dont read the comments but if you want to make short work of the contacts on game and get them spotless really quick just get some red scotchbrite tear off a chunk with some contact cleaner or alcohol and a follow up with a paper towel it will get them spotless and speed up your game repair time . They will be brilliant in the shine on the contacts and bring them back to factory fresh

I love the microscope view

This looks like a great way to get started for anyone interested in learning about circuitry and electronics.

The Battletoads fix was cool.

The NES carts won’t stay down because the tray is not installed correctly. Unfortunately, there is misinformation out there about needing to “adjust” or loosen screws. The actual problem is a tab at the front that is supposed to hook under the front edge of the PCB. If you screw it down with this hook on the top side it will deform the whole mechanism in just such a way that the cart will not stay latched down unless you loosen the screws… which explains why people misdiagnose it.

Brasso works really well when polishing the pins and removing the black stuff that is on pins.

Try some 'goo gone' product to clean the pins bro. when nothing seem to clean.

Sometimes the chips on the boards just die and no amount of cleaning or polishing will make them work again.

You made repairing each cassette like a game itself, with a specific task to complete to make it work again.

dude you make this look way too easy lol

Man, you are a Eletronic Magician!

Wow now I want to do like you 🙆🏻‍♂️ thanks

Fiberglass pen....

Vinegar works good on the corrosion too

i love how you take your time to do alot of cleaning and fixing....i love videos on these NES games of my childhood

SM2, try board swap.
The processing chip is most likely the shorted chip.
The chr and rom are probably workkng.

Man, that chip that had all the legs disconnected. From what I seen, you could have ran a tiny enamel wire from each to the board. That would make a great video to attempt to get that cart working. It will take a bit of time. But I bet you could of done it.

Didn't realise the electrical componant was so small in a NES cartridge. So much un-neccessary plastic

Old real copper pennies work good for cleaning copper connection tabs. 👍🏻

For us 80's kids the way we fix it just simply blew it

Citron juice is good.

seems like the NES-MI-0 CHR chip have problems

Love fiberglass sanding pens for this stuff

the hardest to fix was the cheapest to buy

you know you can emulate right

proper eraser to do this is a harder black one and some pressure...

You don't need to hold down the cartridge to get the NES to load games. Actually, playing the games without pressing the cartridge in, might actually be less stressful for the connectors.

I believe Fester's Quest is a prized game from the NES library.

Yes! You got battletoads! I'm going to try and fix Gauntlet now. Apparently these unauthorized Tengen games are notorious for dying so we'll see how it goes.

when he managed to fix battle toads I screamed "yes!" I think I was much happier than the author himself 😅

You don't need to do all that. Ask me, a actual expert

Radio shack used to make a kit with a pencil wire brush that was perfect for cleaning traces

Puts game in NES.
It doesn't boot up the first time.
Must still be broken.

This guy clearly didn't grow up with an NES.

You don't have to push the game down in the nes for it work.
