I recently bought i nes game and it had some marker (don't know why people put their names on cartridges with markers, or make drawings >:( ), i try to remove it with windows/glass cleaner, but it didn't work as i expected, it was working but not to much, try alcohol and didn't work either. Then i sow a bottle of brasso that i have and try with that, it did work and the cartridge looks like new ;D Hate when people do that with cartridges >:( --- End quote --- Brasso, really? Could you see the spot afterwards where you had removed the marker? I ask because I usually use magic erasers but they're pretty abrasive and I've had them remove some of the texture from carts. I would love to have an alternative. |

Try a PC repair shop as well mate. Bring a sample screw with you. I doubt you'll have much luck*, but its worth a shot. They might just have a spare screw lying around, or at least a very similar sized screw. You could always used a smaller screw and use the match stick method, as a last resort. |

I'll have to actually pick up some Brasso and give it a shot. I've been using Magic Erasers, but they have a tendency to remove that texture. It will be great to have a less damaging option. I'll be making a video on cleaning the outside of games and getting stickers off and what not. This will help a lot. Thanks! |
