CV Multicart help needed

[ElvisAtari]

Hi All:

 

I realize this probably doesn't exaclty belong in this forum, but I need someone to help fix my CV multicart - I got it several years ago from Sean Kelly and I can't seem to get a hold of him anymore, so I'm looking for someone else to help out.

 

The multicart displays a menu upon startup with all of the selectable games. However, when you try to select a game, it simply flashes and ends up back on the menu screen.

 

I've had this problem with it for quite a while, but it used to be that I could clean it and/or take it out and insert it again and after several tries I might get lucky and have it work. However, it seems those methods are no longer successful.

 

If anyone can help, I'd be happy to pay for services. Please PM me or email at drwhotrades@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Why don't you just call Sean Kelly?!

 

Video Games Etc - 11 miles NW - 4353 N Harlem Ave, Norridge, 60706 - (708) 457-2260

 

There's his info from Google. He owns that store in Chicago.

From past experiences I've heard on various boards, don't think even that will be successful. Sounds like he's an extremely busy person and not interested in getting involved in repairing his past multicarts.

The first thing to do is open it up and look inside.

 

If the chips are in sockets, try pressing them down firmly into the socket. Oxidation can cause bad contact of socketed chips over time. If you hear a light crunching sound as you press the chips down, you've probably reseated then properly.

Here's ALL you have to do:

Mine does the same thing from time to time.

The CVMC's are the most sensitive carts. EVER made.

 

Just clean the contacts like your life depends on it!

Concider contacting doubledown for a cart port refurbing!

 

When I got my MC, I (really!) unsoldered my cart port and put in a brand new edge connector and it made all of the difference in the world. I got my CV from a thrift shop and it was 'a little' rough!! Now it's perfect.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions...I have tried cleaning the contacts, but not reseating the board itself...I will try anything I can...thanks again!

CV multicarts seem to be problematic. Mine initially had big problems and was repaired. It's still a bit f*ed up (a few games don't work right or launch games other than what's listed) but it mostly works and I'm thankful compared to some of the other problems I've heard of.

 

Sometimes trying to shift the cart all the way left or right in the slot helps as well.
