since I couldnt get one of my consoles to work, I decided to try retr0bright. So far it was easy to make I did it using 3% of Hydrogen peroxide, corn starch, and Oxy Clean. I attached pictures on the work in progress. Although I do have a question. How long should I leave the UV light on it? Because what I'm doing is concentrating on one side then moving the light over to the other side as the day goes by. Has anybody ever tried this experiment, if so let me know what your results were.

I don't know anyone that's done this, so I'm looking forward to hearing how it worked for you.

well after a whole week of retr0brighting the SNES my end result wasnt bad at all. Keep in mind this was a really bad yellowed SNES and I was using only 3% of hydrogen peroxide. I'm guessing a higher concentration of the peroxide will bring the console back back to the original color. I attached pictures of the end result so everyone has an idea of what it looks like and to document what the result of retr0bright was.

That turned out very nice indeed! Good to know that you can use 3% Hydrogen Peroxide with this. I've been meaning to brighten up my old Apple IIe for a few years now.
