Join me as I repair and mod a childhood Nintendo Entertainment System for a friend. After fixing the dodgy power supply, I tackle the flaky cartridge connector. Then it's time for an RGB mod to improve the video quality. I install an amazing custom replacement board, but hit a snag when testing - it doesn't work! Stay tuned to find out what simple mistake I made and whether I can get this precious retro console working again. This nostalgic modding project lets me dig into the over-engineered guts of the NES and improve picture quality while preserving the original case. Follow along for restoration tips, soldering action, and misty-eyed game memories.
