Another one of those NES help threads... XD

I'm sorry I know these are asked alot, but I really wanna get my NES going again...

Anyway, I already cleaned all the games, Replaced the 72Pin connecter, made sure all the connections were good, ect.

And for awhile it worked great, but now it's back to the old blinking/reseting/freezing after a few minutes.

PLEASE HELP AN ANGER CHALLENGED DUDE FROM BREAKING HIS NES!

:evil:

Thanks very much.

OK no one agrees with me on this, but here's my take:

When my NES started acting all bitchy, I called up MCM Electronics and got a replacement 72 pin connector. Worked fine for awhile but then it started up with the blinking bullshit again. So I got out the original 72 pin connector that came with the NES, and restored it. Now the only time my NES blinks (which is very rarely) is if the game is not sufficiently clean. I also use my NES cleaning kit on a regular basis so that my 72 pin connector doesn't get all crudded up again. There is an article about 72 pin connector refurbishing in the Knowledge Base that I wrote that outlines FABombjoy's technique. As long as you dont have any bent pins, it's pretty fool proof. If you do what the article says, AND clean your games THOROUGHLY, and your NES is still acting up, then the problem lies elsewhere.

Hmmm, thats pretty interesting.

I will give it a shot tonight, after work.

Thanks for your help, I hope it works for my NES. :)

I'd do this but I wrecked my original one trying to refurbish it.. :/
