Cart problem

Post by Gooseberrysoda »

Yeah, it's my genesis... I ordered a game from another member, and before I say it doesn't work, I'd like to know if I can fix it. The title screen loads fine, but if I press start, the game freezes. I can't open it up and clean it because it is a solid plastic piece of a cart. I've tried just alcohol, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

What did you use to scrub the pins on the cart with? Also, try cleaning the system as well.

Try Electrical Contact Cleaner on both console and cart contacts. Make sure fully dry before powering on.
