The Best Possible Way To Clean Your Nintendo Nes Games
Tools Needed: Pink Eraser, Q-tips, Windex, 3.8mm Game Cart Tool, Rag
1.Take your favorite Nintendo Nes game and flip it over so you see three holes. Use your 3.8mm game cart tool and unscrew these three screws. Be sure to not lose these.
2.Open up the cartridge and notice the circuit board. (this is the actual game) Remove this board and lay it carefully onto a clean surface. Be careful when removing as you do not want to break it.
3.Take a rag and clean the inside of the cartridge. Be sure to focus on the are where the contacts are exposed. This will be where the most amount of dirt and grime will be.
4.Now you will want to get the circuit board and your pink eraser. Take the eraser and “erase” away the dirt and grime on the contacts. (erase just as you would pencil marks from some paper) You will notice that they are pretty dirty. “Erase” until these contacts appear to be clean. Make sure you clean each side. Than remove any eraser fragments you see. Simply blowing them away usually does the trick.
5.Once these are clean take a q-tip and spray some Windex on it. Be sure the q-tip is damp and not soaking wet. Rub the q-tip across the contacts cleaning any other grime and picking up all the eraser fragments that you did not previously get. Flip the q-tip over and use the dry end to pick up any residue left.
6.Place the circuit board back into the half of the cartridge that you took it out of. It will fit perfectly, so if it doesn’t try the other half.
7.Now put the other side of the cartridge back on. It can sometimes be stubborn, but it will go. Be sure that the seams of the two cartridges fit together snugly. There shouldn’t be a gap.
8.Screw the three screws back in and you have a perfectly clean game. Put it into your console and have fun playing! However, if it still does not play, you may need a new 72 pin connector.
