There are several versions of the Super Nintendo. Steps for my version are a bit different.
This seems to be a newer super nintendo. If you have one of the older ones, there will be a bit more screws but still basically the same steps.
There are two versions of the Super Nintendo- the one pictured here, and one with a sound chip board behind the game cartridge reader. These two models have different shells that are not interchangeable (important to know if you're looking to buy a replacement housing for your SNES)
