So basically the clean boy doesn’t work? Thats good to know.

Kids back then: we blow the cartridges and the cartridge slot and it works perfectly fine.

Instructions unclear: my GameBoy is soaked in beer

[SweetKingTanner]

Paint brush with long bristles costs $2 at a hardware store, perfect for dusting in there.

That's really unnecessary. Just blow on it or use a Qtip with a little bit of alcohol.

[GeekyTIffany]

Out of the methods listed, using a small brush soaked in 99% alcohol fixed it. Thanks for the tips!

The last frame was still had the circle lol just the logo of the game was perfectly covering it up

[TropicSpoon]

I poured one of my IPAs in my gameboy and it isn't working

[gahnity]

would this work with an SP? i remember you stating not to use IPA on an SP or something along those lines

[Game_Freak]

I just sprayed lagunitas on my game boy now it wont even turn on

[offroad]

I just put isopropyl alcohol on a q tip and rub it inside the game cartridge and it always works

[bland]

I have a specific DS game that has trouble playing. I know its not the fs itself because ive tried it on multiple ds systems and I've tried other games that run fine.

[TheSusFunFamilyVids]

The good old in & out always is satisfying

Or do the 2nd option the first time, instead of spending $11 on a cartridge that may or may not work.

[ChewyChicken]

I really miss they made a clean boy just for Gameboy Advance slots. I would love to be able to use one on my DS Lite and Gameboy Micro

[glitchwolfe]

I just had a GBC do this and the only thing that ended up fixing it was reflowing all the pins that connected the slot to the board (I really need one of those carts though)

[mikemike-luso]

Don't know how safe this is but I usually tap the game cartridge on a hard surface and then reinsert it to if works. It works for me most of the time after a few tries. If that doesn't work using a blower for electronics on the cartridge and cartridge slot can help solve the problem.

[MatanWeizman]

Its not a dirt issue. The polarization film on the screen is burned

[oshikuru]

Been blowing into consoles and cartridges since the 1900s im not stopping now

[Jared-Reinhardt]

What happened to just blowing into the cartridge? Or is this just a different issue
