| NEO GEO 1 slot board repair and cleaning |

so got me a neo geo 1 slot and a multi-cart. the neo geo board has a calandar error according to the seller. i checked the onboard battery and it's dead and old and looks original. i'm surprised it hasn't leaked. i have a replacement coming. in the meantime it's dirty. how does everyone clean their arcade pcb's? i've seen at least half a dozen ways so far on the internet but i wonder how everyone else does it. or do you just leave them dirty? |

Dump it in the sink. Scrub it clean with a toothbrush. Dry it with an air compressor. |

Yeah it may seem scary but I ran a CRT chassis through the dishwasher and then dried in the oven at 170F. If you don't want to take that risk what I've also done is gotten a spray bottle full of Isopropyl Alcohol and with the board leaning into a catch tray just keep spraying the dirty areas but usually it needs some extra scrubbing in some areas but just spraying that stuff can do an amazing job. |

I hose boards down with lighter fluid. It's cheap, evaporates quickly, doesn't rust, dissolves crap. |

Yeah the batterys on the Neo Geo boards always need changing. Be sure to check out JNX's site for NG board repairs mods: http://www.jamma-nation-x.com/jammax/tutorials.html As for cleaning I tend to get the bulk off with compressed air then use Isopropanol to clean the rest. Then for the cart slot I use one of the Arcade 1 up NES cart slot cleaners but I take it out of the case and jus push it into the slots of the board. |
