Can We Rescue a Fire Damaged Game Cartridge from 1982? I don't know... #retrogaming #nostalgia #80s
About this video
Soot and heat have fused a ColecoVision Carnival cartridge after a house fire. The shell is opened, the board freed and the pitted contacts cleaned using isopropyl, and a printed replacement shell is planned.
Good to know: Isopropyl is flammable and its fumes need ventilation. PCBWay supports the video.
Why watch it
Fire damage is a case few owners will meet, and the maker is open that this cartridge may not be saved. Open it for how a fused shell is dealt with.
