Service Description

The slot is the connector where you insert the game cartridge. If it's damaged, the console may not read it or lose contact. With this service we restore reliable contact and secure cartridge attachment.

Common symptoms:

  • The game is not recognized.
  • The game freezes during use.
  • You need to move or press the cartridge to make it read.
  • White screen or error at startup.
  • The cartridge won't stay attached.

Typical causes:

  • Contact wear.
  • Oxidation.
  • Dust or dirt in the slot.
  • Bent pins.
  • Cartridge inserted crooked or with too much force.
  • Falls or impacts.

We open the console and verify that the problem is really the slot, not the cartridge or motherboard. If confirmed, we desolder the faulty connector from the motherboard, solder a new replacement and reassemble. Finally we test with test cartridges to check reading and attachment.

Tip: bring your cartridges too, so we can test them together.
