Restoring Extremely Yellowed Sega Dreamcast - Retro Console Restoration

Sega Dreamcast restoration - In this video I will restore Dreamcast console launched by Sega in 1999. I bought this yellowed console and a game from Japan. This is a e version of the console, which can be seen from the red Dreamcast logo. Dreamcast has been one of the most requested consoles in the comments even though back in the day it was a flop.
For the disassembly of the Sega Dreamcast I used a phillips tip for my screwdriver. For the firs 3 screws I needed a screwdriver that didn’t have changeable bit because the holes for the screws were so deep and narrow. This console has so many different screws that I used an ice cube tray to hold the screws separately. This also helps me to remember what came from where because I can just put everything back together in reversed chronological order.
Once the top part is open you have to be careful to not turn the device upside down without holding the disk reader, because the top part of it is loose and if it falls it might rip out the cables on it or cause other damage in general the disk reader is a sensitive part so you want to be careful with it if you open it up like I did.
Once everything was pulled apart, I looked for any corrosion and dirt on the boards. Mainly I had some slight corrosion on the power unit. I used pressurized air to blow off any loose dust etc. and then I used isopropyl alcohol to clean off the corrosion and dirt. In general, there was not much dust or damage, it could be that this console was not used much ever. It also didn’t have the usual signs of previously opened consoles. I also cleaned the disk readers lens and the connection ports with alcohol because because on the very first try (which I didn’t film) I had some connection issue with my av-cable.
To get rid of the yellowing on the parts I put the parts in a bath with 12% hydrogen peroxide and left them in UV-light for around 2 days. Everything else was done much faster but the really yellowed parts of the body took ages to get done. After this I washed and dried the parts (this is very important). If moisture is left in the shell it will start corroding the parts again.
Thanks for watching! If you have any friends who had Sega Dreamcast, consider sharing this with them. Bellow are some affiliate link that support this channel and help you to figurer out what tool I use for my projects. It’s not a comprehensive list because a lot of my tools I have bought locally.

It's funny how everyone thinks this was in a smokers home due to it being yellow... the reason the older systems turn yellow over time is from a product called bromine that they had put in to make the system more heat resistant. But overtime it has a reaction that actually brittles the plastic and causes the yellowing if exposed to UV radiation (sunlight).

That Dreamcast was so yellowed it looked more like a special edition console than age

[@michaelsmith9612]

I'm curious, how often do you have to play your own video recordings back to remember how to put things back together ?

[@TakeMinamoto]

I was wondering the exact same thing while watching him unscrew so many stuff

[@johnathangeorge1109]

Probably not often. Once you do this kind of stuff for a while you get pretty good at remembering how things go back together.

[@gradsgames]

The transition at the start was flawless, bravo.

[@shamusatha4700]

This was one of my all time favourite consoles

[@relicvault1515]

ngl, it doesn’t look that bad being yellowed.

[@johnmagus6341]

"Yellowed" That's being generous.

[@metalhammer303]

Same here... I actually thought it may have been a special edition or something like that

[@noissouza9088]

This Brown videogame back to 1999 and return to white color

[@craigherman8652]

Never knew that the yellow could be removed till I started watching these vids. Super cool.

[@malteg76]

I love how circuit boards kind of look like miniature cities! Like really som sort of sci-fi high tech architecture...

[@Koguri3108]

Not gonna lie, the orange version looks kinda cool tho.

[@TheRetroTaco]

Oh yes! You have just greatly improved my sunday morning! Thanks for uploading another retro console restoration! Have a good day! 😁

[@raiderjacksally]

Excellent work!! So smoothing and enteraining to see the console come back to life.

[@kuzuriakuma2332]

so satisfied I love watching you fixing things

[@benfraguela245]

I love this, it's very relaxing!

[@HamzaHasan-iu2zk]

Ben Fraguela yes

[@RookJooms]

*Sees Thumbnail*: Damn, another console special edition I've never heard of? *Reads title*: Oh, dear...🤢

@Ties de Jong She/ he meant that it doesn't look disgusting until you think about it.

[@sweetbutterfly9137]

You have a great talent it’s hard to believe how some people can totally neglect their stuff like this

[@NVAfilm]

I really like that extreme yellow colour it looks so cool

[@DoktrDub]

Seriously it’s so yellow you could just purposely yellow the disc cover to the same level as the rest and you have yourself a caramel edition Dreamcast lol Also the submersion method is hands down the best way to retro right, great results.

[@Z64sports]

I'd like a two toned one tbh

[@AndrewColomy]

I actually kinda dug the yellow color better. It gave the console character. I honestly woulda just left the frame alone and fixed the inside.

[@Getwright-]

Yeah its colors reminded me of tails from sonic

[@sunswift]

@@Getwright- I'm a huge sonic fan

[@professionalmuffin2123]

I can just sit and watch your restoration videos for hours!

[@shattered6997]

I wish there was more youtubers that will get to work rather than talk for 95% of the video. Kudos you and Tsys tube are my favorite youtubers on here
