| Dravenae:
I have seen people using que-tips and rubbing alcohol, yielding great results. Might be worth a shot. x3 on cleaning. |
| Polygon:
To clean off corrosion like that I've always used a mixture of baking soda and warm water. I'd would suspect that will cover your issues. That is a good deal of corrosion. At least it looks like it hasn't made it's way into the PCB. |

One of mine had the same problem. Mine loomed a wee bit worse I unfortunately ended up having to use a dremel on mine... Stick with those other cleaning methods suggested first though. |
| wiggy:
There are a million different things you can use. I sometimes use a soft wire wheel on my dremel to get the hard to reach stuff, steel wool can do the job most of the time, CLR works well, as does Tarn-X, and so on. Start with the least abrasive/corrosive options then move on from there if they don't do the job. |
| irvgotti452:
Brasso or its equvalent is perfect for that situation. I've cleaned and restored all my gameboys that had the same issue with it. |
