Hi all,
I have had a refurbished NES since 2002 - bought on Ebay with new 72-pin connector. It's always been very tight. Just last night I fired it up for the first time since having our basement re-wired. All of my games give the same effect: the power button blinks, and the games' title screens blink on and off.
I will say that since I got, it would load this way occasionally. Re-inserting the cart would be fine. No longer - I tried cleaning the pins, and my games are very clean. Just again and again, title screen blink.
This to me says there is something wrong with the 72-pin connector, yes? I opened up the NES and to me, it seems to look fine. What should I be looking for? Should the 72-pin connector be replaced? Is that something I can attempt myself? Are decent connectors out there anymore?
Can you all recommend good repair people?

Thanks and sorry for so many questions.
