Fixing three $10 Junk Famicom Nintendo Systems from Japan

[@kakazi2170]

Great vid, I got a Famicom from Japan and it booted up once but didn't after I cleaned the controller. I used that paper method to clean the pins and found a dust bunny large enough to cover one pin and once it was removed everything worked fine.

You can adjust the pot on the rf module to change the channel to a lower one

[@Retrokid01-v2o]

U can also use a vcr that output at chanel 3 but input chanel 95 or 96 that is what i would do but the pot one is surely alternative i just dont want to modify mine at all

Glad to see I'm not the only one struggling to get a Famicom working again. I wound up replacing the cartridge connector thinking that had to be the issue, but looks like the more likely issue are my cartridges and dirty connectors. Going to give it another shot after watching your very nice video. Thanks for this!

Great vid, you might want to lower the volume of the music in future videos; it's a bit difficult to concentrate on your commentary.

[@Skys2005]

Krzysiocart cartridge shows flashing colours beacause, it showing that the ROM is loading. If blinking goes faster game is gonna be turned on soon! I bought for me that cartridge and it shows same things before loading game.

[@Twenteeeee]

To be honest I can't get enough of the design of the Famicom it looks awesome

[@M1H1yt]

Except the fact that the controller wire is short as frick

I don't know about corrosion of that level, but brasso works pretty great and cleans better than ipa in my experience. They come out looking brand new after very little scrubbing, whereas with IPA you'll still have dark streaks on them unless you scrub a lot.

Great vid!

I can't get a clean video signal out of my junk famicom. The audio works and the game is working as I can start the game and play it and hear the sounds. I tried adjusting the RF pot and it doesn't seem to help. Also, what's with the 8 bit song from that Taiwanese movie about the garbage collector? lol That was so random.

[@ronaldrebulanan7327]

These Nintendo famicon are durable. I know many of these are still working today. Back in the 80's i have taiwan made famicon its durable also. I failed to restore it caused ic parts wasn't available & rarely can find it. Then in late 90's china made famicon become common but its disposable. It completely vanished in market when sony playstation & other disc type console home video game became famous

Now I like this guy

The nintendo famicom is the Japanese counterpart of the nintendo entertainment system the famicom uses 60 pins the nintendo entertainment system uses 72 pins

[@vejin9]

i dunno, it's not my business, but IT PRONUNCES KSHYSH-YO KART (and this cart almost always gives some full screen colors during game loading in case u haven't already know :))

[@joveaaron-real]

Imo I think your cartridge is far too gone to fix only using cleaning. You can clearly see that the Family Basic cartridge has darkened tracks, which means that the corrosion from the batteries that were inside it years ago leaked and corroded away the copper. It can be fixed, but you probably have to rewire some tracks.

Has it backed up anyway

酒矸倘賣嘸 多么熟悉的声音 陪我多少年风和雨 从来不需要想起 永远也不会忘记 没有天哪有地 没有地哪有家 没有家哪有你 没有你哪有我 假如你不曾养育我 给我温暖的生活 假如你不曾保护我 我的命运将会是什么 是你抚养我长大 陪我说第一句话 是你给我一个家 让我与你共同拥有它 虽然你不能开口说一句话 却更能明白人世间的黑白与真假 虽然你不会表达你的真情 却付出了热忱的生命 远处传来你多么熟悉的声音 让我想起你多么慈祥的心灵 什么时候你再回到我身旁 让我再和你一起唱 酒干淌卖呒

“The nes power supply gives it ac current “ This is not true Both use an AC to DC adapter. The difference is the POLARITY in current which will, yes, ruin your system if you use the wrong one. (Been there, done that, many years ago)

[@DanTDMJace]

No, the NES power supply gives 9VDC. There's an internal converter from AC to DC in the NES.

[@intel386DX]

Replace the FUSE on the first one . Those later models with the FF logo have those fuses and they just love to "burn". BTW SNES have those too.

[@The_Traveling_Clown]

Were is the fuselagem on the board/psu ? My famicom won't turn on.

[@intel386DX]

@@The_Traveling_Clown the Fuse is one little black thing on the power board near the power jack

[@The_Traveling_Clown]

@@intel386DX Do you know whatvthat fuse is rated for?

[@intel386DX]

@@The_Traveling_Clown it is whritten on the Fuse . If I am not mistaken it is rated for 1.5A . But you can put similer .or even regular cindicter

[@The_Traveling_Clown]

@intel386DX I just tested that fuse. It gives me no continuity and a voltage drop of 10 to 6.7 . Could there be something wrong with it?
