Trying to fix my NES

[Kosheh]

I cleaned the 72 pin connecter by boiling it in water(yeah I know weird right?), but it still doesn't work.

I...don't think you're supposed to clean the innards of electronics with water
I would have used (isopropyl 70%) rubbing alcohol as it dries faster :/

edit: oh. that last reply.
nice. :V

(i'd try replacing the pin set, especially if they've gotten old or rusted out)

you might want to try cleaning the games you're inserting into the system, too because keep in mind they're also ancient as well (i usually give any used game cartridge i purchase a good cleaning with rubbing alcohol for good measure, and then they work like brand new

i hear you can also use compressed air to blow out the cartridge but ehhhh
you're better off swabbing the contacts with rubbing alcohol)
