Nes Top Loader Is EFFED.
Just got a top loader.
Been playing it for about a week now, no problem at all. Everything works great till today. I turn the system on and all I get is a blue screen. Does anyone have any instructions on how to take the top loader apart and clean the pins or repair them or anything? I cant seem to find tips on how to fix a top loader anywhere. I think the pins are probably just a bit dusty inside the system and could use a good cleaning but I dont know........
I sell the bits needed to take it apart, but as for actual repair other than cleaning, no idea.

I thought I remembered a thread someone posted a while ago about someone frying a toploader.......so I guess some of these systems aren't as bulletproof as everyone thinks.
I hope this never happens to mine.,
have you tried cleaning it?

Frankly, my toploader has never worked as good as a repaired front loader. I think someone spilled root beer in it when I was a teenager (oops)

Well what I did ...... thinking the top loader is unstoppable, was play a whole bunch of dirty games in it lol. I was to lazy to clean them. OK I CONFESS I PLAYED DIRTY GAMES. =(
Get the NES Eliminator cleaning kit. It's pink-colored and they are on ebay every once in awhile or I have a brand new one unopened that I can trade/sell.
Whats it look like?
I have the origional NES pull in / out black cleaning thingy.
They look very similar except that the Eliminator cleans with a plastic coated insertion and comes with a fluid. I've used one before and it cleans top loaders up with no problems.
I have a truly fried top loader too if someone knows anything about them. It boots up and the game plays for about 1 second then the screen goes green. It stays green if you try playing anytime soon. A day later, the same thing happens.

Yeah I am thinkin of taking mine apart and cleaning it out.
I swear top loaders damage the games too....... my contra game is totally messed up lol. MY FAVORITE GAME ! NOOO !
Here's how to fix the top loader:
Use a toaster instead.

ive never examined a toploader in person but by the sound of the issue i would guess the game blanking after 1 s is the cause of the copy protection chip flipping due to some reason try lifting the pin and make it "region free"
Broken? fix it.
Toploaders don't have regional lockouts.ive never examined a toploader in person but by the sound of the issue i would guess the game blanking after 1 s is the cause of the copy protection chip flipping due to some reason try lifting the pin and make it "region free"
