XE carts!

[walter_J64bit]

My XE carts won't boot, I think they aren't making a good connection with the cart port on the my XE. Any ideas how to them working?

Have you cleaned them?

Yup.

Yup.

 

Alright, then I'd try wiggling the cart until it boots. XE carts usually have thinner boards than most other carts.

Youll just have to send them to me Walter until you get a new XE - Ill make sure they get played so the contacts dont get any dirt on them

 

Sorry to hear that - I think some XEs have weak cart ports - I had an issue programming my Multicarts from Classics due to some variations on the XE cart port.

The more I use this thing the more I wish my 800XL didn't died on me.

You could do the unthinkable too ... Do I have the nerve to say it?

 

If you had a NES, the thing that always(?) work, is to blow on the cartridge connectors. I know, breath carries stuff so the corrosion might happen, but as a last resort, it worked for the NES.

 

Never had any problems with Atari carts though, so it might not have the same effect

I got a can of Blast Away that seen to do some good, the old NES thing works!
