❶ iFixit released a PSA discussing the effectiveness of blowing into game cartridges to clean them, emphasizing that while it can work, it is generally discouraged due to potential corrosion from moisture in breath. ❷ The PSA cites a study by Frankie Viturello that showed significant corrosion after a month of blowing on a cartridge, but notes that many gamers have successfully used this method in the past. ❸ iFixit recommends using precision cleaning tools or alternatives like compressed air and isopropyl alcohol for safer and more effective cleaning.
