It seems now that I am having a really hard time getting Games to work. I keep getting Pink-Screens. Is there anyway I can fix this? Like how would I clean the system? And I don't want to buy a new pin connecter.

Ok, this worked wonders for me, and I didn't need to buy a new connector. Open up your nes for the bottom, and take out the silver shell and game slot until you get to the spot where the 72 pin connects to the motherboard. Make a solution of 1/2 water and 1/2 rubbing alcohol, and clean using this mixture and a q-tip the connection of the 72 pin and the m. board. (The 72 pin slides out from it) Also, now that you have the 72 pin out, you can give that a good cleaning as well. Put your nes back together, and clean all of your games so that they don't re-dirty your nes. Good luck. (I'm assuming you know the insides of the nes, if you don't, I can give you a more detailed diagram)

its not hard.
1.get a standard sized phillips head screwdriver, and remove the 6 screws places on the bottom of your Nintendo Entertainment System. Take off the cover, and you are met with a RF Sheild. remove all of the 90 cabillion screws that hold that on, and throw it in the garbage. next, remove all of the screws holding the cartridge holder in place. (you know, that thing with the rectangular silver bar across it?) and wedge that off. It may be a little stiff, and thats normal. just be gentle, and pull it off. Next, remove the screws near the RF/AC box, that holds the board down to the bottom casing. lift the motherboard off a inch or so, and grab the 72pin connector. pull it off, gradually increasing the outward pressure as you shift the force from one side of the pin to the other.
Its worth it to buy a new one. really. Never have problems again.

Do you have a pic of the R/F sheild? basically if you miss it you're dumb. it's the big metal casing around the "guts" of the NES. it doesn't really serve a purpose. the only thing i can think of is it gives you more screws to unscrew :P
