How would you approach something like this? This NES still works, but looks like it has been submerged in water. The RF shielding on the power/AV module is covered in rust. The module has to be desoldered to remove the shielding.How difficult is it to remove? Are there any mods that entirely replace the module?
>>12855279White vinegarFor a whileBut then wash it off thoroughly with alcoholProceed to dry
>>12855282I'm thinking of using desoldering it first. What do you think of using chip removal alloy to help desoldering the big joints?
>>12855279You can remove it and replace it, the shielding doesn't actually do anything except create mounting points.While it looks awful it won't actually hurt anything.
>>12855346Could I just cut the shielding off or would you go ahead and desolder and remove the component?
>>12855348desolder it, it's 4 anchors and the 5 signal lines.
>>12855282I never used vinegar, that's neat. Also windex is acceptable to clean electronics with but clean with alcohol afterwards too.
>>12855282I was able to remove it, using removal alloy helped with the 4 large pins. I'll try soaking it in vinegar overnight.

WD40 is still one of the best anti-rust sprays(it's originally meant to be a water-repellant for airplanes) around.
>>12855697t'll clean off the surface crud but it'll eventually come back as the surface coating has been compromised (see photo). this bottom part is fucked. better to scrap it or find a new one.
>>12855279It's NES.Throw it in the trash.
>>12855721>it's originally meant to be a water-repellant for airplanes) aroundHuh interesting, didn't know that
>>12855752seriously just 3D-print a copy.

kill all namefaggots

Some people online treat NES as a holy cow. Guess what. They never fucking touch it because it has no online achievements.
