This video on how to repair your Nintendo NES system from the dreaded flashing/blinking screen of death is brought to you by the folks at the Nintendo Repair Shop Inc. If your NES is blinking, flashing or just not playing your games, chances are you need to replace your NES 72 Pin Connector and clean your NES games.

1) Replace the 72 Pin Connector
2) Clean your games
The repair guide I linked to above shows you how to do both of these things in full detail. It also provides links to several products we have designed, developed and put together that offer all the parts you will need at a very low cost. We also work with our customers to resolve any issues they have with their repair, so even if you can't get it working (5%) we will help you get a replacement system at a reduced cost. I hope this helps, and thanks for posting!
If I'm understanding correctly, you have replaced the 72 pin connector?
You could try disabling the lockout chip. Its pretty easy
Here is what is really going on. Your NES 72 Pin connector's pins are formed to press against the metal contacts on your NES games. Over time, pressing games into and removing them from this connector cause those metal pins to bend away and reduces the effectiveness of the connection with the games. You need to replace the 72 Pin Connector to make that connection tight again.
Also, over time your games build up dirt and grime from finger oil, moisture from breath (when you blow on them to get them to work), from dust building up on the natural oil residue from the manufacturing process, and from your basic rust/oxidation. You need a professional cleaning product to get these games open and clean again, and we have exactly what you need in our NES Game Cleaning Kit.
Hopefully this helps. Thanks for watching and posting!
