 +=== Bent Cart Pin Problem ===
 +Some homebrew carts may have a sharp edge that catches a pin and folds it into the cart connection. After this the cart connection no longer works. The way to fix this is to use some kind of dentists tool - a long tool with a small needle on the end. It should be strong enough that you can bend the pin back into the correct shape. In order to prevent this from happening again you could use fine sanding paper and fix your homebrew carts to have a proper slope that won't catch the individual pins when inserting the cart.
