The nes does this to stop people from playing pirated games, but it can also be because the game cartridge or console is dirty. Try cleaning inside the game cartridge with a cotton bud dipped in a cleaning product of some kind. it mostly works for me!

I made an in-depth video about replacing and cleaning a 72-pin NES connector. Of course, I still need to upload it to YouTube.

I had this problem, and constantly cleaning my games did work for a while, but one day I couldn't get it to work at all. I replaced the 72 pin connector inside the NES unit, and now everything works flawlessly. You can find connectors on eBay (search for "NES 72 pin").

NES help

This is possible a problem with your A/V cords. Try "jiggling" them around when you have the NES turned on, and if there is no picture or sound after that, you may need a new set of the cables.

The red light flashes on my NES and on the TV screen, it keeps on changing colors. Do you know whats wrong?

The NES is touchy like that, sadly-- your problem isn't uncommon. My NES, and the NES of nearly every friend I have who still owns one, plays this little trick on them from time to time. Here's what we do:

1. Turn off the NES console.
2. Blow into bottom of the game, near the chip that connects to the NES.
3. Wipe away any excess dust from the game itself.
4. Blow into the console of the NES.
5. Wipe away any excess dust.
6. Re-insert the game and try again.

If this doesn't work, try placing the game in more delicately, or with more force. It's just a matter of trial and error, and sometimes it will work faster than others. Hope this helped!

Today i digged out my NES and played kirby. Then i wanted to switch onto super mario, but then it didnt work. I blew air into the game gap and into the NES. But after reseting once more, the NES started...

Well I think that the lockout chip might be causing the issue and there are web sites that show and tell you on how to do lockout chip removal for NES.

Nes light keep's blinking

well, heres what you do.. turn it off, and eject the cartridge.. blow in the bottom where the chip is to get rid of any dust, and put it back in.. turn it on.. if it still blinks, turn it off, and eject the game again.. this time blow into the nes itself.. put the game back in, and turn it on.. if its STILL blinking, grab another cartridge, and TURN OFF THE NES its very important. press down on the game you want to play, like your going to eject it, but instead of letting it up, slide that second cartridge you grabbed in on top of the first one.. turn the nes on, and enjoy...

it SHOULD work... if not, try taking a q-tip and dipping it in hydrogen peroxide, and cleaning the nes and game.

Red screen

Sorry to say but if this is happening with all the games then there is a fault with your console. May be just as bad or dirty contact in the cartridge slot. So you may want to open it up to have a look and clean it out. But there's a big change you didn't get your money's worth.
