You can still buy replacement Intellivision mylar flexboards; GameGavel member edintv has several for sale:

I used two of these to refurbish a pair of Intellivision controllers just recently. The process of replacing them is a bit of a pain, but it brought the controllers back to life.

I have found that the Mylar does not usually wear out. Many times, taking apart a controller, cleaning it carefully.......prying up the metal 'fingers' that touch the mylar carefully, and screwing the controller back together tightly does the trick.

 

I find that most of the time, the component on the hand controllers that fails the most is the wire....the mylar not so much.

What about the black screen (of death)? One of my systems suddenly went black... this is what can also happen with dirty carts/contacts but I clean everything carefully and tried several carts so it shouldn't be the case this time. Any suggestions on possible causes/fixes?

I also heard before somewhere that a circuit pen could be used if an actual 'break' was found on the printed circuit.

 

But yeah, i have several systems where hte wires are hanging out of the controllers. I need to disassemble them.
