How to clean NES/SNES carts

Post by jackfb13 »

If you have an old NES/SNES cart that work's infrequently, then I know how to help you! :D

all you have to do is to open the NES/SNES cart so you can see the pins better.Once you've got it open visually exam the pins for any signs of corrosion.if you see any rust or any thing like that take a small knife and carefully scratch it off so you can see the pin. Now take a q-tip(you may need several) and rubbing alcohol and carefully place clean the pins one by one. reassemble the cartridge plug it in and enjoy :D .

Remember if at first you don't succeed try and try again. :wink:

if it doesn't work after a few trys then your cart is dead or the NES/SNES needs cleaning(see ben's book)

My cameras not working or id post pictures. if someone else can I would be thankfull.[/list]
