So i got a lot of 10 games from the land of Japan.....and i couldn't get 1 of the games to boot.....not a single bloody one...in any of my boards. I inspected the connectors on the games....nearly all of them look like brand new. So at this point i was getting a little worried as there was a few not so cheap games in the lot and i didnt buy these on the cheap either...
Sooooo....what do we do next?
Stick them in the dishwasher of course.
All 10 now work perfectly
Must have been stored somewhere and some sort of residue had covered the contancts on the boards...i just couldn't see it.
(Yes i probably could have got them working by using an eraser on the contacts, but washing them also cleans any other residue off the boards, like that sticky goop that seems to be on the back of alot of boards. And i couldn't be assed with using the eraser on them.)
Disclaimer: I take no responsibilty for anyone who does the same and cooks their boards. I don't recommend you do this.
