Hello all,



I have a Mini Super Nintendo that I would like to clean up before I even power it on and I need some assistance. I am trying to remove the PIN from the motherboard of a mini Super Nintendo and I can not find anything online should me how to properly do that? 



Please post a link to a tutorial if there is one or briefly explain the process. Again, I just need to know how to remove the PIN from the motherboard, lookslike two black plastic tabs are holding it together. If pictures are needed I can also supply them later. If anyone can help I would much appreciate it.

    The mini has a soldered on connector I believe (someone correct me if I am wrong). Meaning you will have to desolder all 62 pins to remove the connector and then resolder them when you put the connector back on.

    It cant be removed without desoldering it. Is there a reason you need to remove it? If your just trying to give it a really good cleaning just use a toothbrush and alcohol or other "electronics cleaners" you can get at radioshack.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I supplied some pictures. Again, I haven't powered up the system yet, I have a feeling that it was never turned on with the existing corrosion too.



    The toothbruch is a really good idea. Can you recommend a good electronics cleaner for stuff like this?

    Thanks. There was a cleaner at Radio Shack and it was $14.99 for the bottle, didn't really want to buy without some recommendations first.

    I bet you are referring to DEOXIT. I used it before on my MP3 player that was super corroded from my sweat during marathon training. It did work but didn't last very long since that bottle is tiny.
