HuCard graphics issues
« on: March 23, 2015, 01:29:14 AM »
I have a copy of Ninja Spirit and I have cleaned the contacts, and tested it on my Duo, TE and TG16 all give me the same pixelation and graphic glitches, is there anything else I should check ?

Use eraser to clean the contact to see it helps or not. If still not working, the card has issue and I don't think it can be fixed.

My Bonk 1 was doing that exact same thing.  Tried everything and ended up buying a loosie from a dear fellow forum member.

Sorry man if what Choijimmy suggested doesn't work, time to DX it.  (Defect-Exchange it).

Time to make a cool key ring. Although my copy of china warrior did this then all of a sudden one day stopped and now works perfectly. I never  figured out why.

I kind of wonder if this is caused by a internal trace going bad, or a solder contact going bad. Has anyone considered trying to bake a card to reflow solder?

There's no solder to reflow.

I think there is supposed to be a small dab holding a surface-mount capacitor or two in place near the glop chip.

so the eraser might not be enough, I will try the lime away.  No I want to test the rest of my collection, becuase I know this one used to work with no issue, but the last time I played it was about 8 years ago.

Cool let me know if it works out.  I have a Bonk with the same issues so I will do the same.  Good luck!

if heat fixes a card, it was wet
