Make sure you are using only licensed accessories with your system.
We find that video problems occur most when an unlicensed RF switch is used. Make sure the name "Nintendo" is molded onto the RF switch, as opposed to "for use with Nintendo." Unlicensed products are not fully compatible with our systems and may not work correctly.
Check all of the system connections to verify that they are firm and correct.
For AV connections
Remove the AV cables and reinsert them with a slight twisting motion
For RF connections
Make sure the channel switch on the TV and system are set to the same channel (either CH3 or CH4)
Slide the Power Switch on the Control Deck to the OFF position. Remove the Game Pak and re-load it, pressing firmly to make sure it is locked in place.
Important Note: Removing the Game Pak with the power ON will cause the Game Pak image to freeze on the screen. Press Reset to correct the problem. Always turn your system OFF before inserting or removing Game Paks.
Slide the Power Switch on the Control Deck to the ON position.
If the above troubleshooting doesn't fix the problem, see below.well I'm going to put up a picture of something thAt might be able to help then

That works too. I remember I used to have a cartridge cleaner and alcohol for those things.
Its switched to the correct channel.
If you have a set of av cables that might work better if your tv can work with it. In case the RF modulator is bad.

a 'front load' nes ALWAYS does this, even if the connector pins inside the console are new. the cartriges on a Front Load nes rarely completely seat, as Nintendo redesigned the Famicom very poorly for the US market. try this 1. put the cart in as usual, but hold it all the way down 2. slip an unwanted/extra cart in on top of the metal hoop above the cart your using. this gives a better contact for the cart. try cleaning the cartrige pins as well. some won't read right if there's ANYTHING on the pins.

Some rarer cases i have found the NES to be faulty regardless of replacing the console with a new connector pin or cleaning all cartridges. Common fault areas to look at are the connector pins and also " VERY IMPORTANT " make sure you properly clean your games because if you cannot make proper contact with the connector pin then flashing light or gray screen will appear. i use the cleaning paste foun at http://www.gameoz.com.au/store/nintendo-entertainment-system/nes-accessories/nintendo-nes-cleaning-kit-makes-your-games-work-like-new.html comes with instructions and the special security bit required to open the NES Game cartridges.

Hi sounds like the common fault found with these old retro consoles. Flashing light is mostly because the system does not make good contact with the game. which may be because of a worn out connector pins in side the console or dirty games recommend cleaning all your games with a game cartridge paste cleaner and replacing the connector pin with a new one. see http://www.gameoz.com.au/store/nintendo-entertainment-system/nes-accessories/ they carry these items and included photo instructions.

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!
