Look inside your front-loading NES and you will see two rows of pins. If you have good enough eyesight to count them, you will see that there are 36 in each row. Pretty simple, right? Who would have known that such a simplistic piece could cause such problems.
The 72-pin connector is where the action takes place. It connects your NES system to the game. The 72-pin connector that came in your NES was made out of copper, or some other piece of crap metal. Over time, as game cartridges are taken out and other ones are inserted, these connectors wear down. When they wear down, so does your system.
If this happens, a little alcohol on the games will not do the trick. Nor will some cleaning of the system. That would be like putting a bandaid on a deep cut and expecting it to heal instantly because you put a bandaid on. No can do. But not to fear.
72-pin connectors can be purchased for a small amount at eBay or at MCM Electronics.
Ah, but how will you install that connector? Isn't it confusing? No, it isn't. Using these instructions, courtesy of a member of eBay, dsullo, you should be able to repair your NES within minutes. So get crackin'!
