| N64 Controller Repair? |

So I pulled one of my extra controllers out of storage recently and much to my dismay, I found it in this condition: Any suggestions for repair? I can't solder and have no soldering/desoldering stations. :( My initial thoughts were simply to splice the wires back together as a temporary fix, but I'd like to do something more permanent. |

But this one has countless hours of GoldenEye 007 racked up on it with my hands! Blood, sweat, and TEARS! Manly tears. I'm currently exploring my options that do not require full controller replacement. I'm curious if I can get the dongle itself taken apart and borrow a buddies soldering iron to redo the pins as the controller itself still has a decent length of cord. |

2 options. 1. You can switch out the chord. 2. You can repair the chord. Should not be hard at all either which way you choose. I've done the repair for a genesis and snes controller which I still use (for the 2nd player :P). The cheap repair will be electrical tape and matching colors. That easy. For more secure job a dab of solder on each cable and shrink tubing. |

This is your excuse to learn how to solder and wire in an extension cable while you're at it ;) |
