Hi everyone, very new to Reddit, so I hope I’m posting in the right place, but I just thought this might be the best place to ask for help!
I recently bought the legend of Zelda NES game for my boyfriend as a gift, and I’ve been trying to get it to work before I give it to him, but I haven’t had any luck so far. I’m not someone who has grown up with the NES, so my knowledge of it is pretty limited. I’ve tried to clean the pins with 99% isopropyl, cause that was apparently the most popular method, but it didn’t fix anything. I’ve tried other games, and they work just fine, so nothing’s wrong with the console.

I just have no idea if there’s even a way to fix it, or if it’s kind of a lost cause, so any tips and help is greatly appreciated!!
