Dead cart?

[Csonicgo]

I've mentiones it before, but I really wanna know- how do I get my "dead" Pac man Jr. game working? the chips seem to be fine. is there anything I can do? clean the contacts? the board? the Rom chips? the orange resistor? what? I'm really angry at this.

How do you know the chips are fine ?

they aren't cracked or snything..... It was working a few months ago!!!

That doesn't mean anything, in fact the ROM or RAM chip in that cart could be bad and you would never know by looking at it.

CPUWIZ is right. It's rare, but I've had two carts go 'dead' on me in the many years I've been collecting. Superman for the 2600 and Ghould N Ghosts for the Genisis. Both worked great, then one day -deader than a door nail!

The good news is that it was a Pac-man Jr and not a Quadrun. You can always get a Pac-man Jr off of ebay for next to nothing.

why dont you get an eprom burned and solder it to a board from the AA store, and put it in your cart?

Pac-Man Jr. requires a SuperChip.
