This thing is perfect. If you have an old NES, chances are it's a pain to make it work properly. Well, if you're willing to buy one of these and take it apart, you can have it working like new in an hour!

Nintendo Replacement 72 Pin Connector

Went from a "blinking" nintendo to one that works every time like it is brand new.
Must own for true NES fans.
If you own an NES, this is a must have. It takes about 5-10 minutes to install and it will make your system work like it did on Christmas morning when you were 5. NES systems on EBAY that have the new pin installed go anywhere from $50 to $100. Best of all the only tool you will need is a single Phillips screwdriver, unlike the SNES and later Nintendo systems which require a gamebit screwdriver. Just make sure you CLEAN all your games
Answer to your problem
This will fix all problems (blinking, blowing, ect.) You must keep your games clean or it will be a downward spiral to the same problem. You have two choices buy a NES with it installed or buy this. This can be tricky to install for the normal person. Just have to read directions very carefully.
