Contacts.

All game cartridges connect to the console through gold contacts, whether it's a Game Boy, SNES, Atari, or any other cartridge system. Over time, these contacts can wear down, become dirty, or tarnish.

All these issues can cause the cartridge to stop working. While the classic "blow" might temporarily resolve the problem, to ensure the contacts are in optimal condition, RETRO FIX Skegness provides professional contact cleaning. We use specialised cleaning equipment to ensure your games play perfectly without the need to blow into the cartridge.

Internal Batteries.

Many people who play old cartridge games may not know that many cartridges contain a small battery. This battery helps the game retain your save points, but over time, it can run out and fail. If you've noticed that your cartridge game no longer keeps its save, it's likely due to this battery. RETRO FIX Skegness offers a replacement service for these batteries, helping you avoid losing your progress.
