Unhappy Blast, I'll have to get a new NES!

I guess it's really broken or something this time. I can't get any game to work!

How are your NESes????

Well, I have two old-wave Nes's that still work, takes a little while to get em going, but they are all right. Plus I have a new-wave NES that works everytime.(It's just the games that need some work)

Did you take it apart to clean it???

I should have have said "I had to get it cleaned" because I myself didn't clean it. We shipped it to Nintendo and they did it.

Well I had some problems getting games to work on my NES. What I did was take Q-Tips and some tape-head cleaner and cleaned some of the dirt out of it. Now it works fine, no problems at all. Oh and don't do it over the 'Nintendo' letters because it smudges them .

Mine's screwed up... it has the "blinking problem", which happens when the 72 pin connector thing gets a bit screwed up and can't hold the games tight enough, and therefore can't read them, so it acts like there is no game in the system (by blinking green and black) when there is, and it just can't read it...

it blows...

I think that Nintendo should release the NES and sell it for like $50. This way we can play all of our old favourite games. Oh wait! They already did something like that! Its called the GBA. Damn ports, and Nintendo making money off of old games.

I used to take apart my NES controllers all the time to clean them.


I have 4 SNES controllers, and each one of them rattled. The wire inside put too much pressure on the plastic guide post and snapped it off.
