Is this cartridge dead?

[Sega Dude]

I got a copy of BurgerTime from a theft store awhile back. I have not been able to get it to work. When I pop it into the 2600 I get a black screen. Noting happens after that. I've tired cleaning it with alcohol but it didn't help. Is there anything else I can try? I really want to play this game.

Stealing is bad...

You're tired of cleaning it? You should use Windex if you're so tired and it won't damage the contacts. If that dosen't work, it's probably a dead cart.

Beat me to it.

 

Try the cart in a different console if you have one.

 

You might also try a little steel will or sandpaper on the cart contacts if the alcohol hasn't worked.

Steel will! Yes! DEMAND that the cart work! Accept no alternative outcome!

Just a case of "crime doesn't pay"

[VectorGamer]

I just bought a Frogs And Flies back from the dead...

 

I took the cart apart, took out the PCB and used light grit sandpaper dabbed with Radio Shack contact lubricant. Then I took a Q-tip to wipe that stuff off. I finished it off with a Q-tip and alcohol and brought it back to life.

Let me rephrase that, I BOUGHT a copy of BurgerTime from a theft shop. I used Windex like JR. Pac said and it works now.

What is a THEFT store? A store that sells overprice items to unaware costumers?

Still missing the joke eh?

You bought stolen property?

I'm calling the cops.

Glad it works.

Really? That sounded like a good opportunity to just take it. <_<

Costumers? Halloween's a bit early this year. What is going on with all these typos today... it's awesome.

Wow! Tough crowd! :)

Yep, it's difficult to write when it isn't you're native language. But i guess you get the point.

It sure makes a nice read.

I like that! I think I'm going to also start calling (some of) them Theft Stores! For example:

 

"That theft store has some steal will."

[chupathingy]

I was going to say something witty and well-informed, but then I saw you brought it back to life. So, disregard this post.

I use steal will when my car's battery terminals are corroded. Cleans them up real nice.
