We've all experienced the blinking light of doom with the NES, right?
Well, I recently got quite tired of none of my games ever working without a ton of babying on my old NES, so I decided to try and fix it. I found an article on ClassicGaming.com that gave instructions on how to open up your NES, take off the 72 pin connector, and fix it. Basically, you just get a tiny screwdriver and use it to pull each individual connector back up into place.
A friend of mine did this to his NES and it works fine now. I did it, and it didn't seem to help at all. In fact, it works worse now than it did before. Games that came on just fine now need to be babied, and some games won't come on at all.
What's the deal? Should I just order a brand new 72 pin connector?
