I picked up an old super nintendo (PAL) from my friend the other day to test it to see if it still worked.

When i plugged it in and turned it on nothing appeared on the screen, so I gave the cartridge slot a good clean with some cotton buds and isopropyl alcohol.

Now whenever i turn it on i get a jumbled mess on the screen like pic related when plugged into the multi out and awful static when plugged into the RF out port.

Does anyone know the possible cause of this problem and how to fix it? I haven't torn it apart yet since i don't have a game bit, but i can probably just make a makeshift one with an old crappy flathead and a dremel

Wow rude :x

Damn in was hoping it'd be a simple fix. If the tract is broken is there any easy way for a repairs noob to fix it without potentially destroying the whole system?

There's a thread for this sorta shit m8

Not that this is a particularly awful thread or anything but it's better to keep it in one place, yeah?

Not sure if it's the issue. But you could have shoved dirt deeper into the system with your cotton swabbing.

They made a cleaning cartridge for the system for a reason.
