    To get an accurate reading, you should remove the cap from the board. However, testing while in circuits gives false readings. That cap is probably perfectly fine.

    7:30 i think you just destroyed the controller . the alcohol on the black connective pads is not good. it erodes the carbon on there. its gonna take a lot of pressure now to press the buttons... dont use rubbing alcohol on the black parts. just lightly brush it or something.

    My go to for dirt cleaning is a toothbrush, way easier than a cotton swab on those grates. And a little water moist. If you need to do thorough cleaning, iso-propanol is the only safe liquid. Apart from cleaning, I found some carts to have thinner boards, and those are a real pain in the ass. Any solution for those? Solder everything on a replacement board?

    I mostly work with old electronics and this is my go to. Simple green, paint brush, hot water. After washing rinse it with denatured alcohol to displace the water and hit it with compressed air and let it dry for a few hours. If the circuit board is the super old Phenolic type then spray some WD40 onto a rag and wipe it down. As long as you don't saturate it in WD40 it's fine.

Iirc, there had to be even some liquid spilled all over the place (the metal housing and drive were partially corroded).
