Hello. It's been a while since my last post. I have a new question that I need to ask. I have been considering purchasing a DeoxIt spray, the DeoxIt D5 contact enhancer. I have been STARTING to have problems with a Super Nintendo Entertainment System's connector, and am beginning to think it has been oxidizing over the years due to being exposed to the air. I am still able to get my games working, but sometimes they fail even when their pin connectors are cleaned. I'm considering buying this, because I read that it works great on electrical contacts. I don't want to throw the system away.

Should I open up the Super Nintendo before using the DeoxIt spray? I was considering using the spray on an old toothbrush and then use the toothbrush to scrub the connector of the Super Nintendo. Do you think this MIGHT alleviate the problem with getting games working? Regular cleaning attempts have been able to get the games working in the system, but it doesn't last more than a number of days or weeks. I also have been considering using it on certain game cartridges. If I do so, should I open up the cartridge first? Or can I use the DeoxIt in CONJUNCTION with my official Nintendo cartridge cleaning kits?Theoretically, it should be ok. As for the method of applying it, I would follow the products DIRECTIONS for application. You should be able to apply it to the cartridges and console without having to disassemble anything, as the contacts should be reachable.

If you have an old cartridge that you don't really care for, I'd test it out on that ONE first.
