I bought a bunch of snes carts at a little dump of a place. I was only interested in the BoF2 SNES cart($13), but the guy said take the last 5 SNES carts for $20, so i figured what the heck, "ok, i'll take em". Anyway, i got a DK Country 1 that i just CANT get working. I've seen some pretty corroded pins, and i've always gotten every crappy cart going. But this one... . Of course i opened it up, used an eraser...nope, tried the alcohol swab (which i personally think is useless)..nothing, i went and recleaned my SNES...nada. I even used (usually my last resort) a peice of 1500 grit sand paper...not a damn thing. However, i did some twisting and such of the cart in the slot, and i did get the RARE screen, but that happened 2 times and it loaded no further. Personally i think the PCM board is worn thin and not all the pins are making contact unless i physically twist the cart in the slot.
opinions please
thanks
