Its funny you ask because I've been looking into that further recently. I've had a few games that need repairs to the pins and I have an idea on how to fix them but I was looking for more information in case I was missing something. The general consensus I'm seeing online is to replace the entire board though rather than try to fix it. The idea is since games are inserted and removed from consoles a lot, the "fixes" you would you do to it won't last even if your careful while playing. There are kits you can buy to replace pins on boards but they are expensive and really geared towards static attachments meaning no repeated insertion and removal. I'm still looking into it to see if there are any other products that would be good to use but haven't found anything yet. Maybe someone else from the comments would know though?
Really informative and fascinating! Glad this popped up in my recommended!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, just started buying some old games from ebay without knowing anything about fixing it up. Love your Rapture poster man!
Thank you! It's a great process to build your collection and learn a new skill, I hope you find some great stuff to fix too!
Recently found your videos. Gotta say, love the quality of them. New Sub :D
Thank you, welcome aboard!
already got a few videos down brother.
I see that. lol
Hi, is there a way to fix or replace the pins of a Gameboy Advance game. I would like to replay my Pokemon Emerald but I can't due to the corrosion
