scalpel Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 is there something wrong with the ones you bought from the same British seller? When I tested first time, no ones works... but now, White Water and Tropical Trouble work. I have a black screen (no sound) for Ice Trek. I cleaned the connectors twice but it still doesn't work. Hope the Lorenzo's games work perfectly ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International edition, I guess. Is the cart the same as the one in this lot (untested)? EDIT: or this one (pricey) It seems like some British humidity has settled on the cartridge contacts. Elementary, my dear Edited May 5, 2016 by intellivotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) I recently dug out a few loose carts and found two that didn't work, even after standard cleaning. I used some 600 grit sandpaper to VERY VERY GENTLY scuff the connectors and they worked beautifully thereafter. Unfortunately, carts with labels that cover the shell screws, like Imagic, Activision and Coleco, are more difficult to do this with. It's much easier try this technique when you've removed the circuit board from the shell. EDIT: grid -> grit Edited May 5, 2016 by intvsteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Would steel wool be a better or worse option? Haven't tried it. Stay away from S.O.S. pads, I'd say. There are actually different levels of roughness for steel wool as well with approximate equivalencies. This is in the context of woodworking, but still.

+Lathe26 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Would steel wool be a better or worse option? Don't use steel wool. It works but pieces may break off and cause electrical shorts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Don't use steel wool. It works but pieces may break off and cause electrical shorts. Good observation. Sheep's wool would probably be a safer, more sustainable, and eco-friendlier option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Yes, when I buy the games, text them always. All working perfectly ... Luckily ... Indeed, many Game Paks that I have bought, only a handful were not functioning: 4 out of 5 were of Imagic, while the fifth was The Dreadnaught Factor ... How strange!!!

lorenzogino69 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Would steel wool be a better or worse option? use the cleaner for metals, such as copper or Duraglit, or those creme in tube to clean the copper. Everything else does nothing but bring forth mechanically thin contact layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadnaught Factor does not work on PAL systems. Or are you using NTSC for testing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant (I checked) say Beamrider. You reminded me, rightly, that the game does not work with the PAL system; a bit like Motocross Mattel, if I remember correctly? Or was it the Intellivision Motocross, Inc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
