| Cleaning PCB's Suggestions? |

Just got a Japanese Metal Slug 1 MVS cart. It was having a few issues when I first booted it. Then I just used some canned air and it helped a lot, but the high score table still is garbled. Game wise everything else seems fine. I opened up the housing and looked at the boards inside, they are pretty dirty. Any chance cleaning them will help? If so, what should I use? I know for PC parts I just used a dab of rubbing alcohol. Similar situation? Any help would be appreciate as always. Thanks! -baker |

One popular method is the dishwasher (no joke). But I am too scared to try it. Another suggestion is electronic cleaner from radio shack. But I would like to piggy back your question and ask: What is the primary chemical in electrical cleaner? Can I but something generic and redily available for cheap? |

I use this cleaner by CHEMTRONICS that is called Electro-Wash. Its kinda expensive being about $13 a can at a local electronics specalty store. Here is the manufactuer's web site.www.chemtronics.com |

The first thing I'd try is using a little emery paper on the edge connectors to make sure theyre 100% clean and making good contact. |
