Need to know the best way to fully clean a NES system

[dcescott]

I have two NES's I want to ebay asap. I'm antsy because my boss bought me a 60 GB video ipod for Christmas and I need to make some extra money to buy an external firewire hard drive to hold my converted dvds (my home computer is only 40 GBs, what a pisser!).
Both systems are opened up and taken apart. I've bought 72pins in the past from Sylentwulf, aka Electric Quarter. Fine product but these two systems keep blinking! I have some old pins laying around and can sand them down a bit, but what is the proper way? I am missing something right? What else can I clean and how do I clean them? In return I will <mod edit>not do anything illegal <mod edit>

If you are helped me out some please PM me, I have no problem sending out some of these to my friends here in DPland. It will be send first class, etc. etc
Thanks
Daniel

I pull out the 72 pin connector and put it in a bowl with a flat bottom and that is large enough to fit the whole connector in. I pour an inch of rubbing alcohol in the bowl and take a toothbrush to the dirty connector for a couple minutes to really get inside the connector. I then take a small jeweler's flathead screwdriver and bend each of the pins on the bottom row (I think it's bottom) a tiny bit so they all connect with the cart again...seems to work wonders. Be sure to open and clean every game 100% fully...no leaving dirty connectors allowed.

Sorry!
Different topic but, what if that person owns that particular movie, like me ,but doesn't have it in mpeg-4 format for an ipod or psp? Is it the same like a back up copy for your games?
I understand it's a serious and sensitive subject, I wasn't trying to sell or give someone a link to download.
And no I will not do that again, I enjoy this forum and will not infringe on the rules of DigitPress, it's just a question.
