NEW! REVIVEMYRETRO STORE IS NOW OPEN

Bring Your Classic Console Back to Life

Professional mail-in preservation and restoration for classic Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Microsoft hardware. Preventative maintenance, upgrades, testing, and a documented service record with every Revive.

We replace aging capacitors, refresh thermal materials where needed to reduce heat stress, deep clean internals (optional), test thoroughly, and document the results. For SNES owners, a proper recap can also reduce faint "jailbar"-style interference you may notice on a CRT. We also now support select Sega and Nintendo disc-based systems.

Preventative preservation

Why Replace Aging Capacitors?

Electrolytic capacitors deteriorate as they age. Their electrical characteristics can drift over time, and some can eventually leak electrolyte, potentially causing instability or damage to the circuit board.

A Revive service replaces the aging electrolytic capacitors specified for your console with new quality replacements, helping preserve the original hardware for the years ahead.

AgeDecades-old components naturally deteriorate over time.
DriftCapacitor characteristics can move away from their original specifications.
LeakageAging electrolytic capacitors can eventually leak and damage surrounding circuitry.

Restoration is not just about fixing what is broken today. It is about addressing known age-related components before they become tomorrow's failure.

Include anything you've noticed that may help us during testing and service.
Console Condition & Additional Repairs: Your console does not need to be fully functional to receive a Revive service. Common age-related issues may be resolved by the work already included in your selected package. Every console is inspected and tested on arrival before service begins.

Examples: - GameCube is not reading discs, usually fixed by replacing aged capacitors but in some cases the laser may be faulty.
- NES cartridge pins get misaligned and console doesn't read games, restoring the pin connector most of the time fixes this issue.

If we discover a fault that requires additional parts or repair work beyond the selected Revive package, we will contact you first with our findings and any additional cost. No additional repair charges will be made without your approval.

Please ship the console only. Do not include controllers, cables, power supplies, games, memory cards, or other accessories unless we specifically ask you to.

Richard gave me an immediate quote that included shipping of the console to him and back, and the entire process took less than a week between when I shipped it and when I received it. This was wicked fast and awesome service. I highly recommend him if you need your Nintendo consoles cleaned or upgraded.
