Well I ment to put together a quick video on how to clean your system but it turned into a 3 video epic. In the videos I show you how to Change out your old 72 pin connector for a new one, Disable the lockout chip, Change out your controler ports, and change out the power and reset buttons. I also show you how to clean your system inside and out.
For Those of you who are just looking for Lockout Chip disabling instructions they start at 1:30 in the Part Two video.
I also use the term contact readers when I'm talking about the pins in the 72 pin connector. I realise that I am using the wrong term there but I figured that it might be easyer for people to understand.

  • @deezy0baby I don't actually make any claim to explain the Lockout Chip. I claim to show you how to disable it which I do at the 1:30 mark in Part Two. 

  • @GanglyM Hey, i need to buy the screwdriver to open it up. The problem is, i don't know wich size i need. I've been told "just use a common screwdriver", but all the ones i have do not fit. Do you know the size of the one you used`?

  • @bosnia91 I use a #1 phillips tip screwdriver which has a smaller than average tip on it. I got it in a screwdriver set that has a bunch of smaller tip screwdrivers in it.

  • @GanglyM so can u help me? I would like to know the exact model of the phillips screwdriver, and by a identical one. It has to be somewhere on ebay`?

  • @bosnia91 Well I'm not sure what the exact model is, all I know is that it is a #1. You need to get one with a long enough shaft to reach the screw but that is really all I can tell you. You should be able to just type in #1 Philips tip screwdriver into ebay.

see all

  • O.O my NES does not have that large capacitor poking out of the video and power box!

  • Easy to follow. Thanks!

  • @deezy0baby easy fella relax

  • You forgot to mention that 2 of the screws near the back of the cartridge tray are longer than the others. Furthermore, if you do not make sure that the cartridge tray is properly locked under the motherboard, when you put it back together the tray will NOT lock down.

  • 8:40 start and select?

  • is there a site where u can buy the top thts white tht has the nes logo and door to open so u can insert the games cuz theres a small crack in mine and the white turned kind of grey. Any sources you can give tht could help?

  • Brilliant instructional videos!

  • @GanglyM i've opened it up now, nothing was even dirty to begin with. Anyway could you make a video or tell more detailed how i should attach the connector? I've seen your 2nd part, but didn't really understand if i did it right.
