    Default NES with flashing orange screen

    Tried cleaning out the 72 pin and it still does it. When I power it on the screen stays orange. How can I fix it?

    What process did you use cleaning it? You could try a different cleaning fluid and cleaning the games better. Or you could replace the 72-pinner.

    it ranges from blue, yellow, green, whatever color it wants. Make sure the pins on the games are super shiny, that way more dirt cant gum up the 72 pin.

    I've only seen a color that wasn't blue once, and it was red, oddly enough; however, the fix for that particular system was the same as the one for a blue-flashy.

    Did you thoroughly clean the game, and the pins? Have you tried using multiplecarts? What did you use to clean them?
