Smack2k Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I have tried to fix the pins on the 72-pin connector my NES already had and got them back to looking new...I have tried a newly bought 72-pin connector that was un-used and have this same issue. When I put games in the NES and hit power, the screen is blue most of the time (sometimes the game will start fine). But if I push down on the cartridge, holding it down, and dont let it pop-up the little bit it does after you release the cart loader (about a 1/2 inch it comes back up), the game loads fine and can be started. What else can I look at on my system? Its driving me nuts as two different connectors do the same thing..and one was new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm just guessing here but I think when you put it back together you did not get the little plastic tab in the center of the plastic tray below the main board. I'm pretty sure I had your issue in the past and I think that was the cause. You are causing the pressure to hit the pins at the wrong time.
