My Duo almost never boots up HuCards first try...

I've had my HuCard converter for less than a year and it looks as bad as my NES games did before I started cleaning them.

Is there a cleaning kit that anyone recommends for the Duo and the cards?

Would I be better off opening up the system and cleaning the contacts by hand?

Any info appreciated!

I've never had to clean the contacts inside any of my Turbo systems.

I use a fine-grain metal nail file on the contacts of my cartridges (HuCards) and this swiftly eliminates any problems from anything that's been giving me trouble.

ummm I suggest that you buy those Presured "Air Spray".  just blow the dusts out.. should do it..  anything liquid I do suggest...

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. 

Works great on the contacts of the HuCards and does wonders cleaning systems, even the white systems.

that magic eraser works wonders, seriously, I was amazed. Wasn't someone on here washing hucards in his dishwasher  :lol:

I took mine through the local car wash.

I actually wash them by hand. Although they'd be fine in a dishwasher, I don't think that it'd do a good enough job.

I just happened to recieve the illegal pirate bootleg HuCard I bought a while ago today and its filthy. Maybe I'll take a few photos as I clean it to show how well it works. :P

Haha, YES PLEASE DO!

I tried it with my filthy raiden; washed in the sink with the sponge as if it were a dish or cup. Came out nice and clean and worked great  :D I was worried at first, but something had to be done about the filth
