Next up was the Retro GEM from PixelFX. Serial port removed to make room for the Retro GEM board. Then, the audio, controller, and main flex cables were installed. These connect to an intermediate board (not pictured), which then connects to the Retro GEM. ๐Ÿงต 4/5

Last up, we have a few pics of the recap. This includes the motherboard (without disturbing the heatsync) and the optical drive board, as the power supply units in these consoles utilize polymer capacitors. ๐Ÿงต 3/3

The DVD drive in this console was working fine, but some routine maintenance can't hurt. Drive cleaned, recapped, and relubricated. Also replaced the drive band for smooth drive tray open/close. ๐Ÿงต 4/5

This poor little Super Nintendo console has a new lease on life. New housing from @CastleManiaRyan, Edge-Enhancer from @Voultar, SuperCIC/uIGR from @ConsoleMods, new caps, voltage regulator, power port, blue/red bi-color power LED and lots of TLC.. ๐Ÿงต 1/5

Then it was on to the SuperCIC/uIGR. Original CIC chip removed and area cleaned. For the bi-color power LED I used a micro jst connector so the console can be properly disassembled if needed without having to unsolder the LED connections. ๐Ÿงต 4/5
