4_T_n Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I think one of the contacts in my 2600+ suddenly bent today. I was playing games as normal, and suddenly started getting "no game detected" errors on every cart. I tried the games on my OG six-switcher and they worked fine, so I went back to the 2600+ and examined the contacts in the slot. Sure enough, one appears bent. I'm attaching a pic and you can see a pin in the lower middle set pushed up. I'm pretty careful about cleaning and maintaining my carts, so I went back and checked out the contacts on the games I was using this morning, and all appear fine. I have no idea how this could have happened. Anyone else have a 2600+ with a bent contact following seemingly regular play? I've only had the 2600+ since last month. I'm devastated that it appears broken already. Anyway to fix it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatchKeyKid Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I was going to suggest this age old tried and true 80s cure-all for cartridge woes but it looks like the problem might be solved already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tradyblix Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 This is another reason (besides cosmetics) that I'm getting a 7800+. Just in case this happens to me. Touch wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I did manage to get this cartridge about a month ago from australia, for half of what it goes for in the US. So put an ebay watch up is what I would suggest, and just keep your eye on it.
