    I like the old console repairs. Keeping them alive one unit at a time.

    "The president has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?" Damn I miss the 80s.

    Even fine grit sandpaper is very harsh on contacts. I've found the best method is just to use a sheet of paper. Works great for cleaning carbon pads on controllers as well.

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMImwS-eDkM&amp;t=195">3:15</a> LOL. I see what you did there. I&apos;m sure you could mod your multimeter to actually play the mario bros song one note a time when you check for continuity on multiple pins in a row lol.

    For those who do not know - this is why pins are covered in gold, so that one would not need to sand them every once in a while.

    Just to let you know you don&apos;t have to clean off the DeOxit. It leaves a contact lubricant and protector behind. Also they make a DeOxit specially for gold plated contacts.

    Ah the joy of finally being able to relate to a system you&apos;re fixing and feeling like, &quot;I can do that!&quot;

    A pencil eraser also works very well to clean the connectors

    I got a “for parts” NES at a thrift store for $18.60. I plugged it in, put a game in, and after a few attempts, it worked just fine. 😅

    Fixing these is my bread and butter! I don’t agree with the use of sandpaper, but if it’s your console…do what you want 😅

YouTube, with the door locked.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
