I got the one to work well with some cleaning, but the other NES, won't work. You can get the beginning screen, but it keeps flashing. Normally, I can get it to work (if its flashing) by pushing the Reset button, but it won't work for this NES. Anytips.

Also, I have seen there has been a lot of questions about broken NESs, so why not make a sticky...? Just a thought.

:oops: Well, yea. I suck at spelling. Any help though?



Does anyone have any tips on what else to clean in the system besides the pin, and where the pin goes on?

Not much, the next best thing is to get a game genie. It gets more connection between the NES and the Game. Always worked like that for me

Malon already has a game genie, which he said worked good for one of his Nes's. I wouldnt know what to clean besides the pin, or maybe the thing that connects the pin to the circuit board :?

Yea, I have a game genie, and it works with all my games on my good NES. O well, I guess I'll just use my NES as decoration.

open up the flashing nes and cut pin 4 on the lockout chip. thatll stop your flashing. google can help you locate the chip.

but if it's not flashing a game display, clipping the lockout chip isn't going to help.

What do you mean by flashing? Like the first screen of the game flashing? Because thats whats happening.

Yes, if it's flashing the first screen of the game, clip the lockout chip.

I'd start by pulling it apart and blowing out any dust you find. next up would be cleaning the 72-pin and rebending the contacts.

Remember, if it's already broken, you can't make it much worse by pulling it apart.

I had this problem before. You need a new 72-pin connector or the pins on the old one bent back into place.

Disabling that lockout chip is always a good call though: A few less pins to worry about needing to make a connection to, and more or less full compatability across the wide range of NES games.
