You have got a cartridge in, right? |

When ever I turn my NES on, all I get is an 8-bit flashing test screen, does anyone know how to fix this, because I'd love to get my nes up and running again... |

Either your cartridge has dirty contacts, the connector in the machine has dirty/tarnished/corroded/loose contacts, or both. |

I'd believe him. I checked out his gamertech PS2 fixing guide. He knows his stuff. Like really knows it. |

The first rule of NES repair is that only YOU can fix your own NES. Everyone has figured out a way to make it work for them, and it's never the same from person to person . |
|
If you want it fixed correctly, you'll take my advice and order a new connector and replace it. Also, clean your carts' contacts. If it "only works for you" then you've rigged it, not repaired it. |

I'm a Nesticle fan myself Now THAT's reliable! |

hey tekmo, I'm guessing you already tried blowing into the cartridge? Or open the whole thing up and clean the dust out very carefully. |

If you mean you get a solid/flashing colour screen when you start up, it depends sometimes on how you put the cartridge in. If it works sometimes, just try taking it out and putting it back in and trying again a few times. I usually push in more on one side of the cartridge and alternate between sides until it works (usually only a few tries). I'd say that it's actually the taking out and putting back in of cartridges that makes the blowing in the game work, rather than the blowing itself. |
