NES HELP?

[dangeraaron]

Today I recieved 12 NES games from a friend. I put one of them into my Nintendo and it showed the flashing red light. I wasn't concerned because i thought all they needed was a good cleaning. But then, after i cleaned all of them thouroughly, i still got the flashing light. Keep in mind, before i put my newly recieved games in my system, it had been working perfectly. And now, even the games i have owned forever don't work. In conclusion, my NES doesn't read any of my games anymore, and i tried playing them on my backup NES and got the same results.

Did you clean the games at all before you inserted them into your system, or only after they didn't work?

 

Try inspecting the 72-pin connector inside your system. It's possible that some debris from one of the carts became lodged in there or bent one or more of the pins.
