In this video I will restore this Nintendo 64 controller for my restored N64. The controller is badly yellowed and very dirty from years of use. The joystick is badly damaged which makes it impossible to play with it.
Unlike the console itself, the controller is very easy to open and it can be done with regular screw driver. However I find it one of the most annoying ones to put back together. The 2 screws inside the connection port under the console can sometimes be hard to put back in. To open the joystick assembly you need to open the screw and press the case back closed like there was still a screw and the you pry open the two plastic clip holding it together. NOTE: I recommend buying this or similar product to replace the whole assembly: amzn.to/34zII5a However, I decided to try to repair the loose stick. I figured out what was worn down and added some epoxy putty and sanded everything down as many times as needed to make it fit. Most likely it's not going to be ready after applying the epoxy once but you might need several tries. On the positive side, if you like this type of hobby it's going to be much cheaper to try to fix it with putty before deciding to replace the whole joystick. Before applying the putty you need to clean the surfaces and you might also want to scratch them up with sand paper to get better grip for the epoxy.
The shell was first washed with soapy water and used hydrogen peroxide and UV-light like in this tutorial kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oMqHhdab07yoY6c.html Finally I used isopropyl alcohol to clean the board and electronics and put everything back together.
Thanks for watching my video!

It's clear he cares about this hobby a lot, and he knows what he's doing. Sure, he has a rubber ducky, but that doesn't mean he's childish, it means he has a sense of humor. Maybe some factory workers do put more care into making these products, but it's safe to assume most don't. My original comment was clearly hyperbolic anyway.

Nintendo's point in saying that is taking apart a controller (or console or game for that part) before the warranty expires voids the warranty. You can only get official repair support from Nintendo as long as you don't break the seals on those electronics. They are also dissuading people who do not know what they are doing from opening up the controller and possibly making it worse.

They got the joystick right on the GC. If I'm remembering correctly, part of the reason N64 joysticks were wearing out was due to the axis being made of plastic, which was shaved down over an extended period of time / usage. I think Nintendo corrected that issue by swapping the axis material to metal, thus reducing the wear on the axis.

I watched this with nostalgia of taking apart my controller to figure out why some of my buttons weren't working. I was only 10 so I only had screwdrivers to work with and couldn't do anything if something was legit busted. This was very pleasing to watch and I appreciate it a lot. I love seeing how it all works and how it can be restored. Such dedication!

People who know chemistry will probably know the basic effects of hydrogen peroxide. Even i know that peroxide takes colour out of things. I think the UV lights just accelerate the process.
