FC Mobile 2 worked perfect now almost every game blue screen.

My FC Mobile II, which has less than 10 hours of actual gaming on it is not working correctly. I've fired up at least 50 games in this thing with no issues at all except normally using a credit card behind the cart to keep it from wiggling. For the record I have kept this thing in perfect condition, and am obsessive about clean games. A dirty game has never penetrated this console. So today I am at my girlfriends and bring 10 NES games to keep me busy while she does law school work. Out of 10 games and at least 15 tries on each game to get working, I have got 3 to work (sort of). The other 7 are all blue screens and done even try to work. The 3 that worked were Lolo, Bionic Commando, and Milons Secret Castle. Except all game have slight graphical issues everytime. Nikon and Lolo have lines like the cart is dirty, bit they are not. I cleaned them again to be certain. And Bionic Commando has weird white star like spots in the text boxes and background in the action parts of the game. Just trying to see if this is a common issue, with a easy fix, or if I'm screwed.

Think you can open it up and take pictures? I haven't seen inside one but I'm willing to bet its a capacitor issue.

FC Mobile II isn't that old, if it were caps they would have to have been super crappy caps.

i'm thinking cold solder joints on the cartridge connector. its the only other thing I can think of at 3:30am that causes dirty connector issues when the connector isn't durty

It's actually working perfect now. I feel kind of dumb, but I think when I recharged all my batteries I forgot one of them that I put in the system. So to anyone who may have this issue you might just need fresh batteries. I'm not sure why low batteries would allow the system to boot up some games and not others but it did. Everything is working first try again.
