    5 year old me couldn't be happier
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2014*

After realizing all my efforts to clean the pin connector in my old nes were doing little to resolve my flashing/frozen screen issues, I finally decided to take the $10 plunge and invest in a new pin connector, and ohman... I wish I had done it sooner!After popping this guy in (which, by the way, is an incredibly easy process), the ol gal fired up perfectly on the first try! Every game I've put in starts automatically. After 20+ years of owning this system, I had grown so used to flashing screens, blowing in the cartridges (don't worry, I know not to do that now) and fiddling with the tray, I had forgotten there was such a time when games just worked without effort.As others have stated, games will fit a tad snug, which requires a little extra effort to get them in and out, but that's to be expected and no reason for concern. I'd also highly recommend cleaning all your cartridges before inserting them into your shiny new connector to keep it shiny and new. I also purchased that fancy Steel 3.8mm Screwdriver Security Bit (here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F8GWH2/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_3) for such purposes, because trying to clean your games with a q-tip is literally the worst thing ever. Oh! And this shipped super fast, which is an added bonus. (Ordered Sunday evening, received Weds morning).So, hey. If your nes isn't working properly, and cleaning without the aid of that cool, official, weirdly expensive Nintendo cleaning kit isn't producing the results you had hoped, give this a whirl. If your system still doesn't work, your problems most likely extend beyond the connector (ie the motherboard)... but for those simply suffering from a shoddy, old connector, this works perfectly!

    My NES Looks New!
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2021*

I still have an original NES from the 80s. It's been variously packed, moved, stored, unstored and played, and played, and played. It's been well-cared for, but nothing can alter the fact that it is old enough to run for president. During the last year, with so much time spent at home, inside, it's been seeing lots more play, and I was finding that nearly every time I wanted to put a new game in, I needed to swab rubbing alcohol on the connectors, I assume to get a better connection, because they couldn't be that dirty every time.Additionally, I had frequent episodes of "blinking red light," that required either forcefully reinserting the game, or holding in the reset button for a count of five.So I gambled $15, and bought a new 72-pin connector.It's true that all you need to install it is a Phillips screwdriver, but it does need to be a narrow one, and a long one as well. Also, there are a LOT of screws. And, some of the screws are hard to get back in because of their location; for me, using small, needle-nose pliers to hole the screw in place got them back. I actually could probably have even left them out. At any rate, I'm a woman with pretty small hands, and if my fingers couldn't hold the screws in place, pretty much, you'll need to make sure you either have needle-nose pliers, or a MAGNETIC screwdriver.If you have not dealt with electronics before, so that you have a sense for how it will go back together, you might want to take pictures at each stage, in order to get it back together more easily. A newbie can tackle this with that extra measure, I think.Replacing the actual 72-pin connector takes seconds, but taking apart the unit, and putting it back together takes time. It took me about 30 minutes, because I had one very stubborn screw-- apparently factory cross-threaded. Just to be safe, I would not start this project without a free hour, since you don't know what might happen.However much time it took, though, it was worth it.When I put in a game, it looked like 1985 in my dreams. The picture was so beautiful. It was on a new TV, with high resolution, so I don't know what difference, if any, that made in displaying the 8-bit picture, but the colors were brilliant, and the resolution was better than I remembered it.The 72-pin connector was the only part I changed. I did use a small compressor to blow all the dust out of the console, as long as it was open, and I took all the connections apart and cleaned them, but nothing else was replaced. (If you don't own a compressor, you can buy one-time use canned air at any electronics store for a few dollars, and clean connections with rubbing alcohol and Q-tips.)The games are a much tighter fit-- it's very noticeable-- but it's not difficult to get them in and out; in fact, it just makes me remember that it was like that when it was new.The "blinking red light" problem is gone as well.The price of the connector was a bargain and a half to get an NES console that appears brand new. Absolutely recommended.

    Very fidgity, possibly user error
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2013*

This item had very fast shipping (took less than 5 days) and it was just what I needed to replace.It worked perfectly at first but now I'm having some issues getting games to connect. I will have to really wiggle the cartridge and they don't seem to make a connection very easily.HOWEVER I recognize that it was probably user error, and I will remove the connector once again and make sure to clean all the contacts.
