You don't need to open the cart to clean the pins, as the most important part (the pins) is easy to access. Unless your cleaning tool is too big to work properly. In that case, I suggest using medium grade sandpaper to scrape the pins clean, then after that, wipe off the dust with alcohol Q-tips.
later serial number toasters (above n28000000) have slightly different protection circuitry that defeats color dreams, and AVE's methods of bypassing it. a lot of wisdom tree games have a form in the back of the manual where you can send the game in and get a later revision cart.
you might have to disable the CIC in order to get it to play no amount of cleaning will help with this if you have a later NES
Disable your lockout. And I don't have time to check but there's probably a screw under the label. And to clean it use Weimans stovertop cleaner. It's vastly better than alcohol and although I've never tried it probably better than sandpaper.
did you let it power cycle 9 times like most of the games say on the label? maybe the caps in the wisdom tree game aren't strong enough to disable the nes10 any more?
I have let it blink as many as 25 times waiting for it to pick up. Nothing.
0xero0 - is disabling the lockout chip something I have to do to the console or the cartridge? And if it's on the console, are there any negative side-effects to doing this?
yeah, never a reason to break open an unlicensed cart. You can fit weimans and q-tips in there for sure, though it can be a tight squeeze on the bottom.

There are no real negative consequences to doing that besides losing the ability to autoreset and damaging your system's parts.
My NES is a N.A. front loader, dated 1985 and has a serial of N720....
Kind of off-topic but an NES that low-numbered would fetch a ton of money.

I'm guessing there are a few numbers omitted, but please let me know if I am wrong!

Curious if the lockout disable fixes it for ya
