NES problem

[ApolloBoy]

Alright, I disabled the lockout chip in my NES months ago and so far it's been doing great. However, as I turn it on, it seems to repeatedly turn itself on and off until I push the power button in. Sometimes, when turned on, the screen goes black and the power indicator goes off. Would adding a ground wire to the lockout chip fix anything?

Not having disabled the lockout chip on a NES I may be in the dark. It sounds like the 72 pin blinky screen problem, but like I said could be way off. Did you try cleaning the pin connectors?

You are way off. Disabling the lockout chip SHOULD fix the blinky screen problem, as the lockout chip is responsible for the blinky screen.

Probobly. I heard that the Ground wire is optional, but it might be what you need.

You just have to cut pin 4 on the Nintendo marked chip, no ground needed.
