My test game finally came in and I was finally able to test the system. After first it still gave me the blinking light, but a quick easer, ipa, then dexoit treatment to the game fixed it right up.

So far I’ve

  • Cleaned the edge connector with the same easer, ipa, and dexoit treatment.
  • Removed the old, rusted power board and built a new one
  • cleaned the board and case

What’s left:

  • Sand and paint the old case after filling in cracks and gashes
  • Beat Super Mario Bros 3

    Thanks. Yeah so far this was a fun project. I will also say desoldering the old power board was a bit of a pain but chip quik helped with those ground points.
