How To....Clean NES Games

Let's say you are feeling nostalgic. You go to your closet and pull out that old NES and hook it all up. You put in the game and turn on the system, but it doesn't work. You try everything from banging on the side to trying a different game. Still, nothing works. Read through this article and you will learn how to play that old NES.

1-Pour a small amount of window cleaner into a small cup.

2-Dip the Q-Tip into the window cleaner that you poured in step 1. Be sure to only dip one side of the Q-Tip into the window cleaner.

3-On the bottom of the NES game are metal contacts. Rub the side of the Q-Tip with the window cleaner on these contacts. Make sure you rub both sides of the contacts.

4-Now use the other side of the Q-Tip (that should be dry) exactly the same as step 3, but without window cleaner. This dries off the contacts. If you have a one sided Q-Tip just use another Q-Tip.

5-Dispose of the Q-Tip. You can use the extra window cleaner in the cup for another game, but make sure you use a new Q-Tip.

6-Your NES game should now work, so put the game into your NES and play. Enjoy!

Another method is, using a white eraser.Open your game and u can clean the dirt right off the contacts.
Opening your game is a lil bit more difficult :( U can get the right tool to get Nintendo screws out of your games here.www.nintendorepairshop.com
Or there are other way I found on the net but aren't really recommended ! Want your games to last another 25 years ? Buy the tool !
