Hey guys, does any of you know how to open a DS game cartridge. I was going to clean some of my niece games, open the first one clean it and when I try to close it it won't close as it should, it opens easily. tried with a second one and when I was half way to open it I stop because knew the same will happen to this one, try to close it and the same, the half part that I open won't close as it should. Search on YouTube and the video I see the guy is doing the same as I did but the video ends only in the part when he finish open it and don't show if it close wright Am I doing something wrong? ??? |

The short answer is that you don't. They weren't meant to be opened up. Ever :-\ |

Thanks wiggy. That happens to me for doing it without knowing and watching videos from YouTube before asking lol Then how do I clean them? |
| wiggy:
Just keep the contacts clean. Luckily they're pretty well exposed and it's not too tough to get to em. |

You can actually open them. You just can close em lol. That's why they sell replacement shells for really cheap. You'd have to reprint the sticker or transfer it. This method might bring dead carts back to life also. Just youtube it you'll find what you're looking for and ebay or your fav china site for the ds cart shells. They come in many colors. As far as cleaning grab a clean rag with a little bit of alcohol and rub the contacts north and south. Works for me. |
