      NES help

      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...

      quote #3: Leather is Leather, unless it is pleather...

      all quotes where by me

      You have got a cartridge in, right?

      I'm not a NES man, but I am a colleague of Captain Obvious...

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

      Trust me, I've repaired many, many hundreds of NESs.

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

      Plus I worked for a Nintendo/Atari/Intellivision warranty center for several years.

      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 .

      I donated my NES to a friend for research. I think he was building something similar from scratch, or just needed some reverse engineering insight.
