Not pictured: Bible Adventures. I know I had more but I must have traded some in. I for sure had Jaws and Jack Nicklaus Golf. I replaced the 72 pin connector and she runs perfectly still. I couldn’t believe how spotless it was when I opened it up. Btw, sorry if this is formatted weird. Still trying to get used to Lemmy.

And here’s the console

SO CLEAN

Thanks for the advice! It is in fact an aftermarket connector. I got it after my attempts at cleaning the original one had no effect. I did keep the OEM connector, however. So I will try your method on it and see if I have better luck.

Ive done the repair suggested and it worked for me! Your stuff looks like its in great condition, it'd be a shame to lose games to a bad connector.
