Donkey Kong Country 3 Black Screen? Help!!!!

Post by jojo12 »

Hello guys,

I wanted to play Donkey Kong 3 on the Snes today, but the only thing that showed up was a black screen. I can play all of my other games, except this one. :'( I've cleaned up the contacts, and looked inside the cartridge to see if anything was damaged, but everything looks fine. Is there anything else that I can do to save my favorite snes game?

P:S: All of the contacts are fine, but they have a silver color instead of gold on their lower section.

Thanks

First I tried with a contact cleaner, and when it didn't worked, I used Isopropilic alcohol with Q-tips, without success either. :s

Do you have a bit to open up the cart? There might be some more stubborn crap that you need to see better to get off.
