CAGiversary!
Call 1-800-422-2602 and go through the button pushing process to get to the NES hardwarre troubleshooters. I just told them that "I had a NES and have owned it for years and it keeps giving me a blinking screen, I heard you guys are shipping out free replacement 72 pin connectors." He checked inventory to see if they had any and they did. He made it sound as if supplies were limited.


Please leave these for the people who really need them!


*EDIT* Thanks goes out to these guys, it's where I found it. http://forums.atari.net/viewtopic.php?p=6863

I just called, and after some number menu navigation, and connecting to a guy who had no idea as to what I was talking about, I finally connected to someone who understood the situation. It seems (well, at least in my case) that if they ask you if your games have dirty connections, you say YES! Because that would mean that you do in fact need a new chip-thing. The guy I talked to sounded like a prerecorded message, and made me look at a cartridge while on the phone (I looked at them, even though they were about 45 miles away right now ;) ) he finally sent out the new 72-pin connector. I did get some badgering from him, but I got it. He also said that they only sent out one per a household.
 
Sorry you had a bad experiance jimbo. I wasn't on hold for longer than a minute.

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure this is what I said...

I'm the original owner of an NES. When I put games in I keep getting a blinking screen aven after cleaning the games and connector. I was told that you guys are sending out new replacement connectors.

He looked to see if they had some in stock and after about a minute of looking he said they do and asked for my shipping info.
 
I just called and was told that
a) Nintendo doens't ship out internal parts, it's agains thier policy.
b) A blinking screen won't be fixed by the part.
c) Only Nintendo technicians can properly clean the games???
d) I should pay $39.95+ shipping to have the connector replaced & my games cleaned...

Long story short, I couldn't get one...

Anybody got one for sale?
 
what a bitch this is..

i called and after 15 minutes on the phone i was able to get a pin connector "sent" to me. a few days later i received a business reply card from nintendo asking for feedback or something. (im pretty sure the card was related to the part i was supposed to receive) anyway, my pin connector never came, and i didnt bother calling again.
 
[quote name='metroidkiller9']i have an nes but i have no idea what a pin connector is[/quote]

is what the game connects to it is the weak spot on nes it goes out first before anything else does I have and still play my nes (14 years old) I have had to replace the pin connector twice.
