You can bring some back to about 80% but just swapping the connector never fixes it all the way. I've probably done 50 of them, with several different brand replacement connectors, and have yet to see just swapping the connector bring one completely back. |

It was all just dirt. Cleaning the cartridges and the console fixed all my problems. Blowing never did anything except possibly blowing some spit into the cartridge and making the cartridge smell like spit. I would open the cartridges and clean the contacts by rubbing it with a dry napkin. It would get rid of those dark lines easily. As for the console, I would use a piece of paper and fold it over the contacts of the cartridge then insert it into the console. Push it in and out a few times basically scrubbing the contacts clean. Wetting the paper slightly helped even more. The paper would come out dirty. I did this periodically and my console worked like new right after. As for that NES collection I probably have all those games in ROM formats. >:D :angel: |

I had to put my NES upside down for it to work! LOL! At least I don't have to do that my my PC ;) |

Don't those Nintendo World Championship cartridges (the ones with the DIP switches) go for a few grand each alone? Even as a lover of games and NES owner, people paying that much for this stuff is beyond me, but the auction price is still low based on those alone. Also thought having good boxes was much of the value for most titles. |

$8,300 with shipping now... Holy #&@*!... I'm all for nostalgia and all, but that's crazy stuff. |
