call 1-800-422-2602 and go through the button pressing to get to nes hardware and trouble shooters. let them know that your nes is blinking and depending on who you talk to they may send you one. they have these in stock for free, but many people who called say that they wouldn't send them one. many others got them sent for free though. i haven't tried it yet because i'm not at home, but its worth a try. figured i'd let you guys know. i heard about it at http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/v...=10088&start=0
