Garbage graphics when powered on e: fixed

e: Nevermind I'm an idiot, needed to plug the cart in firmly.

So I just got this CPS3, basically got it in unknown condition. Honestly looks like it's been in a box since 98. When I power the board on I get this screen full of garbage. Just wondering if anyone knows off hand why it would do this before I start giving my motherboard a look over. I'll also check the cart battery voltage.

Always clean your carts when you receive them. A dirty cart is responsible for a bunch of issues with these including premature suicide. The pcbs don't have the best cart slots either so try to keep your carts as clean as possible.

Hi! Can you tell how clean my mobo(jamma) and my cartridge ?

I just wipe the contacts down with 99% isopropyl alcohol
