は多くの場合子供が使用するので、相当に酷使される。(Prior Art) The main body of a game converter is equipped with a cassette connector for connecting the internal circuit of the main body to the terminal portion of a game cassette. This connector has a large number of terminals arranged in a row, and is generally called a board connector or edge connector. Gaming computers are often used by children and therefore receive considerable abuse.

事になる。A dusty game cassette may be inserted into the main unit's cassette/throat connector, or dust may be dropped between the terminals of the cassette connector. In such cases, if you do not carefully clean the terminals of the cassette connector with a cotton swab or the like moistened with alcohol, the terminals of the cassette and the terminals of the connector will not meet even if you try to enjoy a video game with a normal game cassette. Electrical continuity cannot be obtained, making it impossible to play games.
