- How to clean the 72 pin connector and cartridge contacts to prevent needing to replace the 72 pin connector. The process takes about 10 minutes and can potentially save $10.
The repair process is just cleaning the 72 pin connector contacts with 70% rubbing alcohol and some cotton swabs. I use Q-tips because they are made of cardboard and cotton. Do not use swabs that are made with polyester as they are more abrasive than cotton and can do damage. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Thanks for this great video! I was about to replace the 72-pin connector however when I opened my NES I thought it looked completely fine, no visible bending to the connectors whatsoever, so I tried your method and now my NES works perfectly again!
I read so many different things about what should work the best that I got kinda confused by it all, but at least I can say now that your method works!
If you want to get a more thorough clean rather than possibly getting cardboard debris in the pin connector, there are cleaning cartridges for the Nes and other cart systems that you can apply alcohol to and then insert in and out of the system as if it were a game cart and clean it between.
For anyone wondering: After 5 years this still works perfectly! Do not be afraid when you put your game in and hear a noise that resembles scraping. This noise freaked me out as I thought I messed up but it’s perfectly normal. Also, if you have trouble putting the 72 pin connector back in place don’t give up. It is very hard to put in and it will not break the motherboard no matter how hard you push. It will also make a scrapping sound when putting it on so don’t be worried. Lastly save yourself the time and make sure your game works. To do this shake the cartridge while it’s in the thing and constantly reset it every time you move it. It should work even if t
Thanks for the demo. Great Vid 👍
aside from rubbing alcohol, also use brasso if you're familiar with it, not only does it clean up all the dirt on the contacts, it gives it that shine and brings it back to life just a bit longer :) be sure to use a q-tip when doing it
Thank you so much !!! It wooorks !!! :D I bought a NES 3/4 years ago for only 10€ without cables and a controler, but it came with super mario bros game. Then I bought a the cables and the controler for 16€ but it didnt work, and with the cleaning tecniques you show in this vídeo, now it works !!! :D AAaaaaaaah Thank You !
This worked, but I imagine it will need clean periodically. Something with a long enough reach and cardboard that fits the socket at the end would make a great tool for quickly cleaning the pins.
What kind of magnetic and In Philips screw driver do I need to get to open the Nintendo to get to the 72pi. Connector
To clean cartridge contacts try also a rubber (eraser), great for ram sticks also
good thing you specified that you were talking about an eraser 💀
What do I do if the contacts on the motherboard of the console are broken?
Where can I get 6 Philips screws for the out side of NES 001 console and the right screws for nes black game cartridge try slot that the game g
Not help on rusted connectors. Also no anti stat protection used. Can cause further damage with way clean 72 pin.
Thanks man
Have to be honest, it's best to just replace the connector. The main reason no boot, flashing power light, blue screen is the pins are bent over time.
Not really. The China replacement connectors have the wrong tolerances. Their connectors are to tight. You can hardly get the cartridge back out.
@@JG-vh6mn not really what??????
@@JG-vh6mn They loosen up over time.
Do the replacements boot consistently? Does this cleaning job boot consistently?
