DanBoris Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 First, DON't use a wet (with water) rag. You really don't need to do an over all cleaning of the board, there are certain key areas that need to be cleaned. If it's just dusty blow it off 'manually', or with some canned air, or an air compressor. Next clean the cartridge slot with some alchohol. The best way I have seen suggested to do this is to wrap a tissue or paper towel around a thin piece of cardboard and wet that with alchohol. Finally you can clean bad connections between the chips and thier sockets by very carefully removing and re-inserting each chip. These tips will solve many problems with the 2600.

liveinabin Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Ataris are pretty tough though, so you're unlikely to wreck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
