Refurbish your NES!! I've seen many sites boasting the claim
that a new 72-pin connector can fix all of one's woes concerning the old grey
toaster box NES. About a year ago I decided what the heck they only cost 10
dollars, so I bought one. Being lazy, which I can often be, I put the
connector in the closet and vowed to change the connector soon. However,
since my NES was working okay I forgot about it. When I say working okay, I
mean the standard NES procedure. Blow in the game, slam it in, press reset
multiple times and viola it works some of the time. So, while my new 72 pin connector sat in
a box I looked high and low for a good deal on a toploader.
I finally found one at a used video game store for 25 bucks, but the guy
wouldn't sell it. He said it hadn't been tested yet. Of course I told him I
didn't care, but of course he wouldn't sell it. So the search continued until
last week. I was a bit bored so I decided to replace that connector. I found
a website with the procedure, check the links page to find this website, and
followed the instructions. Of course it wasn't nearly as easy as the page
boasted, like when it said just pull out the tray. The tray wouldn't come out
and I thought I was going to snap the motherboard. Finally everything came
out and went back together. I was a bit nervous when I turned my NES back on.
Would everything work, had I messed up my poor old NES somehow? No way, it
worked great. I must say everyone with a NES should put a new connector in.
Every game works on the first try, many games I could never get to work now
work on the first try. The funny part is, you
actually have to push the game in hard to get it to connect because the pins
are so new and tight. When I say everything works, I mean everything. All my
non-licensed games work great now. Dudes with Attitude works like I just
bought it from some guy in an alley selling non-licensed games brand new. The point of this article is: Refurbish
your NES now!! If you can't figure out how or don't trust yourself, email me.
I can probably refurbish some of my extra ones and sell them. It makes a
world of difference. There's no excuses just do it.
By the way get rid of your emulation and just buy a NES. It's not the same as
an old fashioned NES, and now your NES will work perfectly. Just my advice --
