Extreme NES Repairs: NES And Games Found Rotting In Barn For 20 Years "Barntendo"

[@solidgoldleopold]

In a similar story, a couple years ago my grandparents had told me there was some "Ninten-Watcha-Ma-Call-Its" left on the old back porch back in the 90s by my uncles, but they thought someone had stolen them. Turned out there was 2 Nintendos, 6 games, two light guns, a pro controller, and two normal controllers, all of which had been covered in mud against the house during a major flood, and had been sitting in the earth ever since. They looked about as bad condition as the ones in these videos, if not worse, but I managed to cannibalize the two NES systems into one and got all the other stuff to work. All in all, I'm pretty sure old Nintendos are indestructible and will survive the end of time itself.

[@solidgoldleopold]

If you knew the actual definition of indestructible, and by association the definition destroy, you would know that simply because something is broken or damaged it would not definitely be destroyed; if something was destroyed it would be impossible to repair or return it to it's original state, and in my case I was able to turn both broken NES consoles into one functional unit, validating that neither console was indeed destroyed. So of course that sentence on my original comment regarding NES consoles as indestructible was obviously an exaggeration I had used as a joke, which should have been especially obvious when I mentioned them "surviving the end of time", but I guess that may have gone over your head. And as for your comment about the validity of my story, you're entitled to your own opinion, and you trying to make such a weak critique of my story is pretty funny regardless of whatever you think.

[@ZeldaSuperSonicMario]

Not that you need my validation at all but I find no reason not to believe your story... that's awesome!

[@Z64sports]

What's a pro controller?

[@solidgoldleopold]

@@Z64sports it's a variation of the original nes controller that had a poor-man's joystick instead of a dpad. Still sucked, but was cool to find it.

[@markkoetsier6475]

Those things are able to survive a nuclear holocaust, I swear to Christ. Like, just imagine an archaeological site some three thousand years from now. From under the buried remains of humanity's former cities, they'll dig up an SNES with a Super Mario World cartridge in it, alongside a Gameboy with Pokemon Red. They *will* work. Hope those guys have some new batteries ready though, lol.

my ps3 is broken after 2 years of having it my Nintendo still works what the actual hell I even use the TURBOGRAFX tv switch box cord thingy and it works

[@Zathurastra]

+TAR JET The more complex a machine is, the easier it breaks. That's the price you pay for more power and functionality. Look at the size of that motherboard, and then wrap your head around the fact we can now emulate the NES (on up to the Playstation One), on a single-board computer the size of a credit card (Raspberry Pi).

These old systems are tough to break. If you leave a newer console in the barn they'll disintegrate in a year or two. Awesome job, Luke!

[@DanielleMoren]

Maybe depends on the console, I thought my ps3 was durable. My sister left my ps3 outside accidentally for a week and had no problem turning it on except that it collected birch seeds in the CPU cooler. Edit: It was on all the time

[@winlover37]

[@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606]

OLD Nintendo consoles, when it comes to new ones, Nintendo is kind of notorious for them being unrepairable or easily brickable. Times change I guess. (I do like new Nintendo consoles, I just think the company made a step back compared to what it used to be, and I think Sony's built quality is better)

Since you managed to find save games on the SNES cart, you should do some detective work and see if you could track down "Sarah" or "Henry". I mean what viral video gold would that be to track down the grown up kid whose beloved Nintendo was lost in a barn for decades? And the look on his or her face when they got to put their hands on it and hear that game boot up again? PLEEEEASSSE consider this!! If this sounds good to anyone else, please upvote.

You could check public records of the property owners of that lot where the stuff was found in the 80's and 90s.... then you could do a search of those last names with Henry _____ and Sarah ____ . Then you could message them through social media or something and ask if they happened to have a super nintendo when they were a kid, and if their property had a barn? At least thats what i would do. Something like that.

The LCD module/ and controls for stove were completely damaged from Cockroaches. I had to replace the whole control module with new one. fumigated the whole thing then thoroughly cleaned the whole stove/range with oven cleaner and soap and water. Got the thing to work and look almost like new. i have had it for 4 years now. I got the stove/range for like $10.00 and spent $60.00 and parts, that and all the elbow work.

If the screw at 5:44 was stripped all you need to do is put a ripper band over it and then push the screwdriver down on the rubber band into the Phillips screw hole and twist and you should be able to get it un screwed. Your welcome! #HouseholdHacks

Ripper Band! That sounds metal as fuck!

[@echangwang1821]

Yeah I tried that and whenever I do it just rips the hell outta the rubber band and pokes through it.

You obviously haven't tried that old trick very much. That doesn't work on rust-seized screws like that one. The rubber band thing is hardly ever useful because the lightly screwed in screws it works on could easily be grabbed with a pair of pliers. #UntestedShittyHacks

If you have a stripped screw, you're better off cutting a slot with a dremel to get a hold of it.

Good to see people preserving old systems and games for future generations to appreciate
