Yeah, I might have to do that at some point.

Anyone interested is free to PM me about it, but maybe I SHOULD post pics just to scare away the squeamish.
If I can motivate myself to such an end, I'll send it to a worthy necromancing gamer for cost of shipping.

So I contacted the seller and he was nice enough to let me send it back so he can take a look at the board. My concern is that the board looks pristine. I'm honestly surprised it's the game, but the problem is definitely not an snes pin issue. Any thoughts in other snes I hardware issues that could cause this?

I'm willing to bet you just had to clean the cart pins and/or the console's cart slot more. There's been a few times now where I've cleaned one or the other and thought it looked fine but was still giving me problems and required additional cleaning. I've had the pins of a NES cart look so shiny but it turned out they still needed to be cleaned better.

I've tried cleaning both the cart and the 62 pin connector. No change.

I will post pics in the next couple days. Camera battery is still dead, but at least charging now (damn I'm lazy :oops: ).

So here's some pics for my damaged game (sorry, I didn't bother to dust it off):

I'm not even sure how far the crack really goes either. It's like a lightning bolt up and down the board. On the back side it even splits 3 ways.
I have no idea haw to pop it back into place without further injury.

Ziggy mentioned interest as well, so I'd like to give him a chance 1st.

If unwanted or no response, I'll send it your way Hobie.
