im sory if this is a old thread but, I was trying different ways to fix my 72 pin connector ( pulling up the pins and soaking it in soapy water for some odd reason) and does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it

Tomato Juice. Soak it overnight. It really eats away gunk and leavs your connectors pinkish!

Lemon juice will do the same thing but not leave as much residue.
Both work because of their acidic qualities.

I like the "orange" spray cleaner that you can get about anywhere. (I got mine at the dollar store). I use it on the pin connectors and to clean game cartridges, it works really well!

Those are two great tips, maybe I could start running my nintendo with the cover back on finally

I bet taco bell spicey sauce would work too, it cleans a penny pefectly in under two minutes.

Soaking the whole connecter in lemon jucie overnight won't do anything to the plastic casing?
