    Default Cooking with your NES

    I was having issues with some 72 pin connectors for some NES units I was trying to refurb. I went poking around the web to see if there were any more tricks I could find with why my 72 pin connections would not work and I found one that was quite unusual. I tried it and it did make the connector better.

    What I did was cook the 72 pin connector.

    First I boiled some water with soap in it. I put the 72 pin connector in there for 5 minutes. I then turned on my oven to the lowest setting (mine only went to 175). I then put the connector on a cookie sheet and put the connector in there for 10 minutes to dry.

    I then let the connector cool and it does work better. I am not sure if we are allowed to post links to other boards on here, but there is where I got the idea. I can PM anyone the link to the post.

    This is similar to how you would sanatize/clean a mouthpiece for a trombone/french horn/trumpet/whatever. I'm not suprised that it works. In fact, I think it's a really neat idea!

    I would say give it a fresh water rinse to get to soap off, but what do I know, I wouldn't have dreamed you can "cook" the connectors.

    Dude, and you call yourself THE monkeychemist?

    Otherwise, interesting finds. I'll definitely pass this along to a couple troubled NESs I know.
    Whaddya mean invalid parameters?!

    I saw Andrew Zimmern eat one of these. He could tell from the taste it wasn't a 1st party connector, but still delicious.
