If you are SURE you have hooked it up correctly, and it sounds like you have, be sure you have it plugged in a outlet that you know that works. You shiuld see the power light come on after turning it on. If it still doesnt work, you have to contact ebay or the person you bought it from for a return.If you need help dealing with Ebay please let me know, ive had to do it b4.
Here are detailed instructions and the Service dept number for NES
Connecting the NES Control Deck to your TV set
There are two alternative methods of connecting the NES Control Deck to your
TV set, depending on your type of TV:
EITHER: (1) Using the Audio/Video Cable;
OR: (2) Using the RF Switch and Converters.
Make sure that you are not trying to use both the RF Switch and the Audio/
Video Cable: only one is required.
First, compare your TV with the following illustrations (1), (2)(i) and (2)
(ii) to determind which method you should use, (1) or (2). If you have a VCR
connected to your TV, see below.
---
(1) Using the Audio/Video Cable
(Note! If your TV does not have direct audio/video connections, proceed
directly to Method (2) "using the RF Switch and Converters".)

Note! Color coding of TV connections may differ from that of audio/video
cable and Control Deck.
Nintendo recommends against using a rear projection television with your NES
as image retention on the screen may occur.
To facilitate connection to video recorders, etc., many TVs have special
audio/video input jacks. If your TV has such a jack, connect the audio/video
cable supplied with the NES between the audio/video out jacks on the NES
Control Deck and the audio/video in jacks on your TV set, and then flick the
switch located on your TV that changes the TV from antenna reception to direct
audio/video input. When you use the audio/video cable to connect the NES to
your TV, there is no need to use the RF switch or converters, or to touch the
antenna on the back of your TV. For more information on direct audio/video
hookups to your TV, consult your TV Operation Manual.

(2) Using the RF Switch and Converters (compatible with most TVs)
(i) If your TV has TWO SCREWS FOR VHF antenna connection, connect the RF
switch and NES as shown below. If your TV has a VHF cable connector, please
see below.
(Note: The existing antenna/cable to the TV should be first disconnected from
the TV and then reconnected to the RF Switch. This will allow the signal from
the antenna/cable to reach the TV when the NES is turned off.)
Rear of Control Deck --- RF Switch -- 75/300 ohm converter -- VHF Screws
---
(ii) If your TV has a VHF CABLE CONNECTOR connect the RF switch and NES as
shown below.
(Note: The existing antenna/cable to the TV should be first disconnected from
the TV and then reconnected to the RF Switch. This will allow the signal from
the antenna/cable to reach the TV when the NES is turned off.)
Rear of Control Deck --- RF Switch --- VHF Cable Connector
Note: if a VCR is already connected between the antenna and the VHF terminals
on the back of your TV set, the RF Switch MUST be installed BETWEEN the VCR
and the TV as shown below:
(Refer to the illustrations above for your type of TV connection.)
With this hook-up you are still able to record TV programs while using the
NES.
Antenna -- VHF in (From Antenna)
VHF out (on VCR, to TV) -- RF Switch -- TV
RF Switch -- Control Deck

Connecting your NES Components.
- Connecting the AC adapter to the control deck
Insert the AC adapter power plug into the AC adapter jack on the back of the
Control Deck.
- Connecting the controllers to the control deck
Both controllers are identical and may be connected to either controller
socket. However, the controller connected to controller socket 1 becomes
Controller 1, and the controller connected to controller socket 2 becomes
Controller 2. The distinction is important when selecting and starting games,
since only Controller 1 is used to select and start games.
NOTE: Do not insert or remove controllers from control deck during gameplay
as this may cause game malfunction.

Operating your NES
- To Start Play
1. Turn your television on to Channel 3.
(Note: If Channel 3 is broadcasting in your area and interfering with the
game, set the television and the switch on the back of the Control Deck to
Channel 4.)
2. If your TV has an automatic fine tuning control (AFC), turn it off. (Use
the manual fine tune dial to adjust the picture after inserting the game
pak as described below.)
3. Make sure that the power switch on the Control Deck of off.
Caution!! Always make sure that the power switch on the control deck is off
before inserting or removing a game pak!! Always check the game pak edge
connector for foreign material before inserting the game pak into the control
deck!!
4. Open the Chamber Lid on the Control Deck. Insert a Game Pak into the
Chamber (label facing up) and push it all the way in. Press down on the
Game Pak until it locks into place and close the Chamber Lid.
5. Turn on the power switch of the NES Control Deck and push the reset
button.
Note: If the "reinsert" indicator light on the front of the Control Deck is
flashing, it means that the game pak is not loaded correctly. In this case,
turn off the Control Deck power switch and start over from step 4.
Note: When the game pak is inserted properly, a colorful game display should
appear on the TV screen. If it does not, or the picture is imperfect, turn the
Control Deck power switch off and then on again, and press the reset button.
6. Use the Select button on Controller 1 to select the game you want to play,
and start the game with the Start button on Controller 1.
