100+ Sub special! How to disassemble an early model SNES Part 1 of 3

Hello Everyone ^_^

Here is a video that will help those trying to open up their SNES in order to clean/fix it. While doing this myself a while back, I couldn't find many videos on how to do this, so I figured I'd post this tutorial in hopes of helping others. It's a simple enough project that anyone can do =)

I'm not a pro at this, so some of the video may be inaccurate, if so, please feel free to post a comment (at which point I'll post an annotation and/or revise the Description box with the correct info, while giving you credit).

Thank you to all of my subscribers, you guys rock! ^_^

Note: I just came from work when I did the voice over for this video (when I disassembled the snes, it was too noisy, so I figured I'd add in a voice over later), hence why I sound tired, lol.

Enjoy =D

Treasurefan02,

I must thank you for making these disassembling SNES videos. I had an SNES growing up and it got "yellowed" over the years. With your video, I followed everything you said and was able to swap out with a new Grey casing. Now the SNES that I grew up with looks new again! You were a big help! Thanks again!!! :)

sweet bro,i took apart my snes completely today and washed the shizz out of it in preparation to give it a custom paint job but when it came time to reassemble the thing i forgot how the spring on the cartridge door was arranged. i must've spent an hour messing with it until i went back and re watched this vid. thanx alot

Hello beaver10777,

Happy to help! Do you have a pic/video of the new paint job?

[AndyV002]

I gotta say this saved me aa whole lot of time, I had just finished spray painting the shell of my super nintendo and i'm using this to reassmble my snes.

@Treasurefan02 i'll send u a pic soon. i bought a spray can that was too small and only managed to complete the top half but later on today i'll be going back to my local hobby store to restock up on my paints. i plan on doing a custom N64 if ppl think the SNES came out good but judging by the response i'm getting from the top half alone so far,it looks like it'll be a future project for sure...lol

Hello pizzarocks2009,

You can try ebay and look up broken snes systems (usually those systems that are sold as broken have issues with the mobo, or other tech issues). You can also hit up your local garage/yard sales and flea markets to find a cheap one. Once you make the transfer, you can sell the other system for a (possible) profit.
