Editing Sega 32X Maintenance Guide (section)

== Regular Cleaning ==

=== External Shell & Connectors ===
* Wipe the ABS plastic shell with a '''damp microfibre cloth and mild soap'''. Avoid excess moisture around cartridge slot and expansion connectors.
* Use a soft brush or compressed air to clear dust from the cartridge slot, AV out, and expansion edge connectors.
* For stubborn grime, isopropyl alcohol (>90%) on a lint-free cloth is safe for plastics.

=== Internal Cleaning ===
* Unplug all power and AV cables before opening the unit.
* Remove the four bottom screws and carefully lift the top shell.
* Use compressed air or an anti-static brush to remove dust from the PCB, especially around the edge connectors and under the shielding.
* Inspect for insect debris or corrosion, particularly if stored in humid environments.

=== Megadrive/Genesis & Peripherals ===
* Clean the Megadrive/Genesis cartridge slot and expansion port with a '''contact cleaner''' or isopropyl alcohol and a soft swab.
* Wipe the 32X patch cables (AV and power) with a damp cloth; ensure connectors are fully dry before reassembly.
