Just to tell a story. I've been having trouble with the old molex connector on the 4th player for awhile now. The Mutant power button on 4P would only work sometimes...so when you plug it in it was like Russian roulette. It would work or just not work at all(more often it would not work) and then one time I wiggled the wire and it kept going in and out. Since I haven't had enough party people over I got way lazy but decided that maybe cleaning the contact off was the solution but how to do it?
I poked the wire out of the connector with the smallest screwdriver in my PC toolkit and decided to use something similar to how I clean off NES game: Rubbing alcohol from the bathroom. I usually dilute this stuff alot before I use it on nintendo games but since the connector on the end of the wire had some say tarnish-type corrosion on it I just dipped the end for a few seconds and carefully dried it off. Then I put the wire back into the molex connector and left it to dry further for a week before I tested it tonight. The button was working without a hitch but with how random this is the next time I change the bord I could be back to square one...(I sure hope not)
