Product Description: Tired of glitchy graphics, having to restart your system and having to smash your cartridges into your console just to have it work? Well you can now replace your NES's 72 pin connector part with these new and better designed connectors. They are made to resolve these issues that the original Nintendos had with new technology and a better understanding of electronics. Play your old favorites and have them last for years to come.
Save your NES from the blinking light of death! 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! I bought an NES for $15 from one of my friends many years ago, and I knew that it didn't work well when I got it. However, I knew the secret of the pin connector, so once I replaced it, I blew their minds with how well it worked afterwards.
A free, but more laborous proceture that you can do is to take a tiny screw driver, and manually re-align each pin connector. This takes a long time and lots of patience, but if for some reason you can't get ahold of a new connector, or you want to feel especially hard core, that is a perfectly viable alternative.
Whichever option you chose to do, you should fix your pin connector! The old "blowing" trick doesn't last forever, and this is the secret to making an old NES work like a new one. Preserve classic gaming history, and fix an NES!
Nintendo Replacement 72 Pin Connector From the reviews, I understand that this fix works for some people, but replacing the connector did nothing for me. I still have to jostle the cartridges around a bit before they play correctly, exactly as I did before putting in the new connector. There was no noticeable difference. This is just a warning that even though it works for some, it may not be the instant fix that it's made out to be.

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.
