I was actually able to run my NES today, I don't thing it's the pin connection between the NES and it's games. I was playing "Baseball" and after I got a HR, the game's power light (the red light that shows the power is on) dimmed out and the NES turned off on it's own. Does the NES have a battery within it to keep power between the adapter and the NES or is my adapter probabbly just bad?

Either your adapter is bad, or there's some internal power issue. or the outlet you plugged it into is bad. Also, use some common sense when posting. This is clearly a 'Hardware' question.

But no, the NES has no battery (to my knowledge). Plug the NES in, unplug it and then turn it on, the light should come on briefly (less than a second), that's the capacitor's charge.

Not with the lockout chip. The flashing always starts with the NES off for 2-3 seconds. Make sure the game works every time you turn it on before you test the capacitor.

So the light isn't supposed to come on? I know what you are saying, the light may not come on with the NES unplugged since it is only on for a fraction of a second and may be in an "off" state of flashing, which is why having a game loaded is your best bet to see the light (unless you have the blinking light problem...).
