Not to be devil's advocate, but everyone needs to take a breath and remember that things can and do go wrong in transport. Heck...these are pins...they can break just sitting there, much less bouncing around in the back of a truck. I'm not saying that's what happened, but we all know it's possible. Games this age are just waiting for an excuse for a solder joint to pop. And this is a System 6...those 40 pin connectors don't even NEED an excuse!
