Hey, i got myself a top loader from ebay but the picture quality is horrible. Ive used the same cables from my toaster on it so i know it isnt the cables but its the actual system being faulty. Im thinking installing a new 72 pin in it and hoping that will fix it. My question is... Will a new 72 pin fit inside a top loader without having any major dramas?
It's not the same pin and top loaders are different. I don't know what your picture is like, but look at the links in my description. Top loaders are inferior to the traditional models.
i loved the tough guy remark....at 5 minutes till midnight, my 72 pin was about 5 seconds from getting yanked off using the tough guy. Thanks a ton for the video, definitely helped!
What really sucks is that I can't find a move on how to change a pin for a super nintendo but this movie is very helpfull so now I change the pin in my nes if it ever stops working 5/5.
Before you buy a new conector, you could try to pull the pins back in place. All you need is a bobby pin, bend the end, then stick it inside underneath the pins and pull them up back in place. It will work, I've done it myself. After that, don't push down on the game anymore, the pins bend faster that way. Just stick the game in and push power.
What do you mean got it installed? Did you do it yourself or did someone do it. Make a video on it so I can see. Could be a dirty game my friend. Clean the games' pins with a little rubbing alcohol or an eraser.
The toploader is more usefull for when you find the famicom to nes converter. Made a coverter outa a gyromite game with the cipthingy in it. and it's awsome for his toploader.
Try disabling the security chip. There are only a few video on that on youtube but i know samtron5000 has one. it worked for me but only after i did both the 72 pin change and the security chip
You wouldn't happen to know if this would work on an SNES? Mines actin screwy and I think something simalar to the fix here may be whats wrong with it. Also, if you know, the screws on the bottom of the SNES, do they come off with a regular inverted torx bit or some kind of special screwdriver? I can't see the shape of them very good.
What it's doing is you can put the game in, turn the power on, and the screen is blank. You can push the game towards the back of the console as you're puttin it in, stick something like a piece of cardboard in the gap in front of the game between it and the console, turn it on and it works. I have cleaned it and it helped a couple of times but then it didn't have any effect.
When you put the game in, you said "It's kind of free in there, and that's what you don't want."
and then you didn't fix it or do anything about it.
My big problem with 72 pin replacement videos is that they don't clarify what screws to take out. Besides the ones on the bottom of the NES, I don't know which ones to unscrew. some may be unnecessary to unscrew or the piece the screw is holding down could also not fit back in.
Umm, I mention what ones, but not all directly. There are several you need to take off. Any holding the metal over. Take off any that hold down the black plastic part with the springs. Watch out as the springs will pop out. You don't to take as many out as i did (i.e. the whole board moves from the NES) but I think it helps with extraction of the pin.
I have already repaired the problem. One of the small wires/cords for controller 1 was smashed/caught in between the motherboard and part of the power button. But thank you for the advice.
Depends on what your NES is doing. If the power light is coming on, then chances are this could help it. Your old 72 pin could be so shot that it cannot get the right connection. Also, what is the condition of the games you are trying?
Hmm, well I did get some black stuff off the mario/duckhunt game I have, it's the only game I have at the moment! I only got the NES today, but even after cleaning, I still got this
Yeah, that is the 72 pin. It probably still works and you not really need one. The best thing to do is take the top off and anjust the two screws near the springs. (You will see them when you open it) Once you place the game in you can move it around and adjust the screws. You only need to turn them slightly. This can help with the contact. If you havent cleaned the game with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol, then try that too. If you can get at the pins to clean them, even better.
Well I've ordered a new pin connector, this will probably fix the problem anyway, will it? I mean the console was just flashing and the t.v did nothing at all, I guess I was on the right channel, 0
i guess its not important to tell people that if they screw the two screws too hard in the front of the "toaster", that the springs won't work when you go to eject your game cartridge. oh and by the way, thanks for showing us in detail how to put it back together, it really helped me and whoever else needed this tutorial a lot...
eh . . . in a store? You cannot really. You will probably pay more than they are worth. I do not like top loaders. Check my links on the side. You will see they are inferior in many ways.
A very easy way to ground/earth yourself is to grab hold of two running taps on any goundfloor washbasin/sink for a few seconds. It also better if you're not wearing shoes as well.
You know, he's doing this, because I asked him what it was: a 72 pin connecter. You see how wonderful this guy is, he does everything you ask him too. :)
Nice add, very helpful for people whom have never taken a toaster NES apart. I have taken apart 3 NES and 2 Famicom. Famicom is actually more complex then NES, and works alot better.

1 you don,t need to push the game down into zero position oyu only have to slide it in.
2 take a nes toploader it solves all nes loud problems and it,s a great replacement for that old bulky touster model.
