I am trying to hook up an old Nintendo model #NES-001 (1985) for my grandson. It's been years since I've done this and I'm not sure how it works. Help! He's looking forward to playing his dad's old game.
Hi, i have tried this but the red light besides the start button are blinking all the time. Picture on channel 3 is blinking at the same rate. Maybe it is broken. Bjorn A. NorwayHi,

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.
When your playing the older games like that with the gun you have to make sure its on a crt tv (older bulky style) I know for sure it doesn't work on rear projections. If you try it on one of those style televisions and it still doesn't work I'd try to find a different gun to try I've seen some that just stop working from getting worn out and banged around to much.
Best of luck!
The console is having difficulty reading the cartridge. Check the console for dust and/or dirt and give it a good cleaning with a can of condensed air. Also check the cartridge for dust and blow that out thoroughly. It should work after that. Put the cartridge in, making sure it's pressed in all the way and enjoy!
Note: Some NES consoles get a bit finicky in their old age so you might need to make sure the cartridge is in there firmly. I still have my NES and after 21 years it still works great.
Hi there, here's a fix that may help, I've done it on quite a few NES and all have started working. Basically the pins that connect to the cartridge have been pushed flat over time so your not getting a clean connection.

There is a set of pins deep inside the NES that allows the games to interface with the system. This is a step-by-step guide on doing it. You can order the pins from here.
Okay, what I would try is hooking up the snes using the n64 cable. right next to the rf slot in the back of the super nintendo is a slot thats the same video output as the n64 you can plug in the rca cables from it and see if they work
Well theoretically you could use the same old way we did it for years with isopropyl and a q tip. Or you could try ebay to get a first generation or second generation nes cleaner pack
