Hi
I was given two super nintendos. I can't get either to work. All I get is a blinking red light. I have 2 consoles & 2 power cords. What can I do to get at least one to work??Suzy07
I'm sorry I haven't tried it yet, but when I do, I will let you know if it worked.I'm sorry I haven't tried it yet, but when I do, I will let you know if it worked.
I have the original Nintendo game system (just off EBay) guy assured me it worked he hooked it up before he sent it and it worked- hooked up used the video cables first and then with the coax adapter. Neither worked - just blinking red light. Help Not sure what to do. Will trying blowing out dust on system - see if that helps - anyother suggestions - talked with Nintendo support and they said system probably is no good.I have the original Nintendo game system (just off EBay) guy assured me it worked he hooked it up before he sent it and it worked- hooked up used the video cables first and then with the coax adapter.

My original Nintendo was not used for a few years. It had been fine. Now the red light blinks. I've tried both a lint free cloth, and an artist's brush to clean out the console. No luck. Blowing it out didn't work, either. Because the light kept blinking with no game inside, I thought of the switch. There sure isn't much inside these things! The switch isn't doing anything that indicates it is broken. Trying compressed air sounds like a good idea. I'll give that a try, after closing the console up. Question: why would it be the game connection, when the light blinks whether or not there's a game in the console?My original Nintendo was not used for a few years. It had been fine.

Try blowing the dust out of both the system and the games. Purchase one of those air duster cans from a computer store.
Open up the door to the system where the games go in and go to town blowing all the dust out. Then do the same to the cartridges.
I have the same problem with my NES you have probobly heard this try blowing in both the system and games till you feel light headed then it should work

I am having the same problem with my super Nintendo console not having the red power light coming on. It could be the ac adapter that is causing your SNES console to not be turning on. You could try a new SNES ac adapter to see if it works or not. If your SNES console still is not coming on with a new ac adapter it maybe be the fact that your console is not working anymore and it would be more cheaper and easier to buy another SNES console than to fix the current one that you have. Lukie Games and DKOldies and East Starland games and JJ games have SNES consoles.
Well if the red light is flickering then it might be a bad ac adapter so you could buy a new ac adapter to see if it works then. Or bad capacitor inside of the console oe or the other. It might be time to buy a new N64 console.
Well it sounds like the fuse is broken and needs to be replaced then 1.5 amp ico fuse for the Super Nintendo console I think that kijijiji and eBay sell these fuse types for SNES consoles the fuse will have to be soldered on and solder the old one off first too. If you don't fell comfortable with fixing it find a place that fixes old consoles or find some one that can fix it for you or just buy a new console
Check to see what power supply your using to connect it with. If using a rf swithch make sure its on channel 3 or 4 then. If you are using the av cables switch them to a different out lit then.
You game is most likely just dirty which doesn't allow it to connect to the console completely. Clean the gold strip on the bottom of the game with a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol. Make sure it is dry before you try it in the system again.
if you've tried 2 other super nes' and still no picture and sound.. don't you think it's the "yellow,red,white" cables that might be an issue? doesn't sound like a power cord is the issue at all if it's getting power to the "red light".... get a new y,r,w cable (sry.. tired and forget the name)
1, Turn off and unplug your wii console for a few minutes
2,Turn the power back on and when you see the the safety screen open the small flap on the front of the wii console. Inside you will find the red sync button. Press and hold the red button down for 15 seconds.
* Then remove the battery cover from the wii remote, inside you will see another red button.
* Press and release the red button, the blue lights on the remote will start blinking.
* Quickly press and release the red sync button on the wii console.
* The remote will stop blinking and it should now be synced.
then try syncing your wii fit bored
well this is not even a probelm this is a normal thing that all nintendo do you just have to keep playing with it or go get a top loader that will stop the flashing power button
I'm sorry I haven't tried it yet, but when I do, I will let you know if it worked.
