Re: How to blow on a Hu card
Surprised nothing was said about the White Ink Eraser recommendation on the previous page. It should only be used as a very last resort if a pencil eraser does not work.

Actually, why does everyone recommend chemicals when a simple few swipes of a pencil eraser usually does the trick without the mess?

Re: How to blow on a Hu card
I recommend using isopropyl alcohol, but only 90% and above. That and a Q-tip will do wonders. Be careful just to swab the contacts, though. You don't want the alcohol to eventually start to act as a solvent on any glue that's holding stuff together.

Yeah well, I stand by his comment. You're better off sucking than blowing.Aramonde wrote:I knew Hobie was gonna come chew him out.Hobie-wan wrote:Never blow on your games again.

Gargle isopropyl alcohol and then blow on them.

Why choose just one?
Re: How to blow on a Hu card
I agree with some of the above,blowing on a cart and it then comes on is just coincidence as a dirty cart may or may not come on due to carbon deposit on the connecting pins.A good liquid clean with contact or switch cleaner or something similar should clean it.
