Chad i just bought a NES and the guy i bought it from said that i replaced the 72-pin connector. So i got home and tried it and the first thing i noticed is that it's hard to put in the cartridge and it doesn't have a nice click when i push it down and i dont get a picture. What do you think is the problem?

These windows are amazing. They will last for a century more with little care. They are beautiful with their original wavy glass and honey colored wood. If they had been replaced by a previous owner we would not have purchased the home. We purchased the home because it had all original elements in reasonable or restorable condition. I am confident we saved lots of money over buying custom made replacement windows. Water Damage Colorado Springs CO

I had the 72 pin replaced but Its still giving me that problem :S I've tried many different games and they all pretty much do that (i've also cleaned the contacts on the cartridges) anyone know how to fix this so that the nes is actually useable? -.-
Chad
You can try cleaning the motherboard contacts when the 72-pin connector is removed. Also, its possible you received a faulty replacement 72-pin connector. Look at the connector and see if any of the pins look like they are pushed down too far. If so, grab a small tool and try and bend them back up into place.

One thing that works too is just pulling the pins up one by one but there's nothing wrong with getting a new pin connector.
