Repairing your NES

[AMysticSeer]

I have done this pin bending, the lockout disabling and cart cleaning and now my nes works optimum quality.

Terrible video quality aside this is really appreciated, especially since Blaster Master is one of my very favourites!

[fivetimejeez]

how do you pop up the bottom pins on the 72 pin connector? i only got the top 36 to pop out but i dunno what to do with the 36 on the bottom.

[sacredskullkid]

oh, those don't need to be popped up. Just the ones I show in the video.

[fivetimejeez]

oh ok because i saw another video that says you need to pop up all 72 and i was confused. thanks!

GOD THANKS!!!!!!!!

i'm from colombia, the price for a a working NES is like.. 30 to 50 dolars, i bought one for 4 dolars and it didn't worked, but ow it works THANKS

I don't suppose you know how to fix the game tray? mine won't click and lock the game cartridge down. I have to wedge something in to keep it down...

[sacredskullkid]

It's possible that the game tray is tightened down too tight. Try loosening the screws a little bit and see if that works.

This's probably gonna be a stupid question, but will the repair described in this video also work on the SNES? Mine's acting screwy and I think this's what might be wrong.

[sacredskullkid]

I suppose it could work. I haven't tried it personally because the SNES requires a special bit screwdriver.

[slugMAN13]

I tried to fix my NES and now the controllers do not work!

[shuji13]

me and my friend were working on her NES for hours and we still couldnt get it to work. but then we watched your video and now the NES works! thank you so much for making this video. it would be better if it wasnt so dark but other than that great job!! ^_^

[jomama510]

Thanks for the video post. I am a pretty savy guy with machines and electronics but i just wasn't sure how the repair to the 72 pin was done. Very helpful information.

Hey Skullkid, I just got done watching your video and the only thing Im having problems with is the pin connector part. I have the connector out but Im having a hard time figuring out what you mean by pulling the pins up. this is the first time Ive ever done anything like this before so Im wondering if you maybe have or know of a video with better quality or maybe some clear pictures showing more clearly on what to do? Other then that the video was a great help. my thanks.

[Wraithind]

lol, nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks for your help, it works awesome!

[sacredskullkid]

Yeah sorry about the bad quality. That's what happens when you use cheapo cameras. :(

Good to hear you got it figured out though.

[nevermind1534]

If you can't figure it out, you can buy a new one off of ebay for under $5. Just make sure you don't overpay on shipping.

This worked alot i even screwed some of the pins up but it still works....thanks a ton now my kids will play the old nintendo like i did and now they know how to fix it :D

[sacredskullkid]

No problem. I'm glad I was able to help. :)

[Asprat3]

Thanks for this man!

Works perfectly now.

Daaaaamn. Honestly, dude, once I saw the gold NES, I thought it was fake, but after this video. Two words came out of my mouth: "Holy shit"

[CarlosX360]

The video is low quality, I know, but the NES looked gold the first few minutes the video playing. Oh well.

[sacredskullkid]

It IS gold.

[CarlosX360]

But, SK, I could have sworn I saw a green NES later in teh video. Wasn't sure.

Looks like I was right. Again.

[sacredskullkid]

I have 6 NES'. The green one was already done from a previous time, so I was just showing how it would work when it was all put together. If you noticed, the pin connector from the other NES was still on the table.
