Thanks, Dragonstomper. I gave that a try, but it didn't do much. I can see some of the characters go away while I'm holding the reset button, but that's about the only difference it made.

Hi everyone, I'm having a little trouble with an Odyssey2 that was found at an auction... it had clearly been sitting in a garage for 15 years or so, so it was filthy. Got it pretty cleaned up, used Brasso on the cart slot pins, then dry buff, then alcohol to clear remnants of polish. Pins are nice and shiny, but it doesn't seem to be reading carts at all. Carts were cleaned, (and even tried carts from my personal collection) but no good. Also tried the power cord from my personal (working) console, but that didn't change anything. Attached is a photo of the screen it gives me- it's the same whether or not there is a cart inserted in the slot. looks like I'm probably going to have to open it up. Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting? Many thanks to any help you can throw my way. :-)
