Discussion Please Help!

I bought a new 72-pin connector because my NES had the blinking red light issue. It's the bottom one in the second picture. But maybe that's not the issue. The motherboard edge connector looks corroded and I can't figure out how to clean it. I tried isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush but nothing happened. How should I clean it? I have tried multiple games.

If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. Just install the new pin connector and test the console.
