The guy that originally worked on this for us said if the video portion stop working, all you have to do is re-seat the boards in the base of the cabinet.

Well, that worked a few times. Then the game sat for a couple years. Now This is what I get. I think there may be some cold solder down there, and maybe the pins on the boards slots are corroded.

Any advice? I pulled the video box and brought it home to clean up.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

I'd start by cleaning all the edge connector fingers with a pink rubber eraser. That should get rid of any grime and tarnish that has built up. Then try firing it up and see what you get.

I wish I had a way to test this cage as it is with a vga monitor or something.

Pulled the boards out. Pic just cuz.

What about brasso and then alcohol? I use that a lot on my nintendo carts and it works great.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

The board on the top right looks like it could use some attention.

Those silver pins right? I got them shined up nice now. I did them all with an eraser, and then did alcohol to clean them up. Fingers crossed. I will go try it out Monday if all goes well.
