Remove the three screws on the bottom of the cartridge. While most of the time the screws are security screws, sometimes there are Phillips/Flathead screws.

Simply put about 2 tablespoons of baking soda on the cartridge contacts. Then put enough water on the baking soda until it is the consistency of a thick paste.

Take something like a toothbrush or the scraping part of a sponge and scrub the cartridge contacts.
-
After scrubbing for about 4-5 minutes, rinse the cartridge board off in the sink. Let it dry for about 4 hours after pouring alcohol under the chips.

And with that your cartridge should be working properly!

Is this a joke?
Why would it be a joke? Because it's a simple procedure that everybody should know? Or do you have a better way?
In my opinion, a less abrasive metal polish would probably be better to start with.
Whatever happened to the tried and true method of blowing on the cartridge? It worked as a kid (back when we didn’t know that our breath had water vapor and we were actually destroying our cartridges)!
