I took this game apart to clean the contacts better and the capacitor at the top, sticking out above the top of the board, fell off in my hand. I set this stuff aside for a couple of days as I was too busy cleaning carts to mess with looking up the number on the capacitor to order a replacement- now it's suddenly missing and I can't find that tiny thing anywhere. So, could someone kindly open their cart and tell me the numbers on that capacitor (or take pics of it for me to read)? It would be greatly appreciated!

@avidgamr
hey no problem dude thats what im here for.
always willing to help out a fellow gamer.
(and piss some of them off just as much)
got to have that balance, just like bayonetta.
heres some super nerdy info no one knows:
resistors are the parts that you have to watch out for, those are the ones that definitely need to be matched properly. i made those for 2 years. and despite what some people think you can get nes cart insides wet. when we used to make resistors we would spray them with water before and after they were finished. it is safe to take off the gold on the boards to really clean the contacts as well should you run into problems booting up a game. i plated contacts with nickel, copper and gold for a living. some orders didnt require certain metals. its a gold salt solution, and they all get dipped in water. dont listen to those guys on collector sites. im sure theyve never even seen that kind of work before.
if this crap doesnt work then im an idiot, which just blends me in with 82% of the people probably reading this, so ill fit right in.
however if yer nes system starts smoking and shooting sparks out of it after this just blame @Tasuki because no one these days likes to be accountable.
im no different.

@KingMike True but a 2-pack of caps ogo79 mentioned was $4.50 with free shipping on ebay- considerably less than buying another cart since I already have the game anyways...
