Thanks for watching
Just wanted to say I've learned a lot about fixing retro game consoles by watching your videos and I've fixed multiple game carts and a Dreamcast so far based on what I learned from your videos keep up the amazing content and thank you!
I was skeptical until I installed one while back. It's still holds up today and no more annoying blinking red lights. So far every game I put in plays. I have a habbit of cleaning my games before inserting into the NES.
Another exceptional video! Thanks for sharing your time with us, looking forward to your next video and seeing Kona the Repair Dog!
Really enjoy ur videos I think I’ve binged them all now !
Me too! Love the intro music!!!
0:55 The main reason the Blinking Light Win costs $30 is because it "unlocks" your NES and lets you play games region-free (i.e. Japanese and PAL). This info is printed on the piece of paper that comes with it. You only have to power-cycle the NES a certain number of times to change between regions.
Good to know, i legitimately didn't know that.
However, japanese carts were always compatible, they just required a converter due to physical size differences
@@RetroRepairs Fair enough. I was really thinking of being able to play PAL games in NTSC regions and flaked out on being able to use a converter for Japanese carts. I had a long day at work and always like to unwind watching channels like yours on CZcams. Thanks for the great content and look forward to more.
You still would need a famicom adapter since the pins are different between NES and Famicom. And while you could play Famicom games on an NTSC NES with just the famicom adapter, for a PAL nes you either need to disable the lockout chip or get an NTSC to PAL converter cartridge, then a famicom adapter on top of that, THEN the Famicom game.. I tried this monser but sadly either my NTSC (Horeleg) adapter or Famicom adapter don't work.
You don’t clean the 72 pin connector on the motherboard? It looked dirty
Your look dirty my friend
KaibaCorp HQ thanks bb girl
He replaced it, did you watch the video? He said he gave it a solid clean
ACL Stands the 72 pins on the motherboard which connects the motherboard to blinking light win. He didn’t clean that part
I've had one of these in my NES for a couple years now, never had a problem since.
Same
Same
Guess I will be investing in one as well.
Thank you for the Kona fix.
Looks awkward taking the game out It would be better if it had an eject function for removing the cart maybe that will be a future revision
Thanks for showing this fantastic mod. Now you can play the NES games without pushing down the cartridge tray.
That feather is a omen 😂
Love this mod. I've gotten several of them!!!
Very nice mod. I may have to look into this myself 1 day
By the time you look into it there will be no more kits left lol
1:28 that voice crack 😂
The blinking light win connector makes the NES look similar to the Retro USB AVS set up. I am always a bit nervous inserting cartridges in that as you really have to wrestle with it, I would imagine constantly doing it would create some ware and tear issues. Personally it doesn’t bother me as my flash cart just permanently sits in there, only occasionally coming out to add a new rom hack, or firmware update.
Best voice on youtube
I remember as a kid, seeing one of these nes's once that the push down tray was bad so kids, at the activity center, would place a second cartridge on top of the game to start the game. This would have been extremely helpful then.
@@Crash_Linux same, I use a Game Genie :)
Oh canada 🇨🇦. Great video
I got one of these myself just a few months ago. This is the single best mod there is for an NES, even over RGB or HDMI mods to improve the image; what good is a better image if your games don't ever load properly?
Bloody nes, my little Bro had one for Christmas brand new and with in the 1st 6 months it started blinking got it replaced and the same thing happened again, in the end we used to get over it by putting a second cart on top always worked.
I've got his nes now, I just took the cart slot out and cleaned the contacts till the were gold again, they seem to suffer from tarnishing and that's what makes them bad, my nes has been good for a while now.
I have one, interesting things I noticed, pulling the game out never gets easier, always tight, sometimes it is possible to mis seat the game, and the pins can get corroded too and need cleaning with rubbing alcohol as well, (use a spray can of rubbing alcohol).
They're all out of stock and I've even tried emailing them about when they'll get more but I have not got any kind of reply. So where can I get one
One other excellent feature of the Blinking Light Win is it also bypasses that DAMNED 10 NES CHIP!! Thus providing a reversible way to to STOP it from screwing your game play up.
and region free NTSC/PAL/PAL B play, just need a famicom adapter to play NTSC-J titles too
8:26 Mario or Luigi must have dropped that in there ;) (Seriously though, was that actually in there or was it a Mario 3 gag?)
Why not a lever or a button that ejects the game? Plenty of room still left even with the door closed?
Would make for a cool mod
That feather 🤣
Is the new tray installed not allow you to push down? Cause I’m old school and I’d probably push down with muscle memory haha
I just subscribed for Kona 😁😁
I've bought 3 of these, only complaint is they're only available like once a year.
Awesome video as always ❤️👍
What is the link to buy? Where did you buy it?
8:33 NES ate a chicken when you weren't looking.
Please, record/export as mono and then duplicate it. You're talking on the left of the mike almost all time
This is his style of recording lol U can use equaliser to fix that if u don't like tho...
Do you need to discharge remaining power in system before you open it up?
It's always a good idea, just leave the power switch on.
NES is less sensitive than something like there SNES. SNES will break if you just look at it wronf
but can you plug Game Genie or Action Replay in this slot, I guess not
Good question, I'll have to try that
@@RetroRepairs just be careful no to bend the pins , because the PCB from the Game Genie is ticker then usual
@@RetroRepairs I'm keen to know this too
Where can I buy one
I use to have that soldering iron. Lent it to a friend worst mistake I ever made. He put it in his storage and is super lazy. It is all the way in the back with a ton of crap. Needles to say I am never getting it back. He offered me money over moving everything to get it. I am still salty to this day about it. I have never lent out anything after that because of that.
Friend huh? I'd be a bit more selective about who you call a friend.
HOW DID THE FEATHER GET IN THERE
Duckhunt.
@@tbbw 🤣🤣
ive never heard of this ... I just cut some pins inside the console itself and it does the same thing for free! this is interesting though.
It's funny how Nintendo specially designed fancy trashy bulky variant for EU and USA, while Japanese variant was the most practical one. :D
NA version was built to look like a vcr, and specifically not a game console. Remember, this came out just after the big video game crash in the 80s, and they wanted to distance themselves from Atari
Famicom gamepads suck
The habit of pressing the cartridge down will be hard to break heh.
Did a chocobo get into your NES?
Hows your Blinking Light Win holding up?
I ways thought that pushing it down should have been the "power" button...
Good video but I was cringing at seeing a game in the “up” position, and putting stickers on that beautiful case!!
Due to dirty/failing internal 72 pin connector, for the past 15 or so years I've been using a Game Genie in the open/up position as a passthrough to get a solid connection. It works, the drop down bit was just a con to get through customs as it looked more like a VCR than a console for the US market. The open/top loader Famicom actually has the best connection of the designs.
Ben Ninja Gaijin - that’s what I used to do when I was a kid. If we had problems playing a game due to the blinking light, just put the game in the game genie and it works lol
Mine was finicky even brand new in the 80s
It was a really bad design
That feather sends a clear message..... You'd better sign up for WW1, or risk social ostracization....
A feather? What the heck?
If you notice, there's a mattel logo on the back. In Canada, every NES was inspected by a Canadian goose prior to being shipped. Sometimes feathers make their way in
@@RetroRepairs i supposed that. Geese are the best inspectors.
I noticed that Mattel logo, and also that's an NES-001, any added value with that particular revision\model number?
Too bad you can't buy those anymore :(
Epic fail, this doesn’t have any blinking lights at all. Big rip off... 😬
Shhhh.....
That's the point...you're winning against the blinking light of death
A good game to get the NES to fail like you tried to get SMB3 to do is Tecmo Bowl. Most finicky game I've ever played.
I actually tinned the contacts with solder on my tecmo bowl because it was so bad
@@RetroRepairs I wonder if they used cheap solder in manufacturing. Every copy I've come across has been defective.
Could be a narrow board too, some are thicker than others
@@RetroRepairs it seemed like it wasn't seating right
@@RetroRepairs since worked when pulled OUT of the slot a little!!
how the fuck a feather god inside?
Clear coat the stickers
🐨
Advise
Repair something
Then make a giveaway
To every country
it looks good, but $30 sounds like alot for it. I could get a another nes for that anmount. I once got an nes for $5, so I don't know why you would buy this tbh.
Replacement standard pin connectors cost $10-15 depending where you get them
NES are going for high prices outside the US now
Blinking light Win is such a cop out. It's better to just fix the pin connector and keep it 100% original.
The whole point though is to avoid the problem bent pins bring.. I understand 100% authenticity, but this is a good/cool alternative if you don't care as much about that.
Over time the original will no longer work/work as well, though
@@ShiggitayMediaProductions Once you bend the pins back into place, if done correctly, they will last longer than the 30 years or so they had previously because you're an adult now and you know not to leave a game in pressed down. The pins aren't suddenly weaker and if they are, they might be 1-3% at most. This is hard metal and durable plastic. A proper repair job will last decades.
@@buenogoodlive That's incorrect. It will last a lifetime if taken care of. A BLW won't work over time as well. Everything wears out from use over time. My point is, you may as well keep it original instead of wasting $30 on a temp fix that changes your original system.
I've gone through 2 brand new 72 pins until I installed one of these. Haven't had any problem since.
Just blow the game out lol worked for me in the 80s
I'm not paying 40 for that thing.
Don't worry. You'll never find it anyways. 😂😂
thumbs down 4 no clear sticker guild comes together lol
First thing to do with an NES is defeat the lockout chip.
Com POZZ zit
OMG ppl.. just bend the original console pins back into shape.. i have done this to about 50 consoles.. and they all work perfect after.. you dont even have to press the game down after ..
specialformula14 I bent the hell out of my pins too. Like you say, games run without pushing down. Easy and free fix.
have you guys tried boiling it?
Bruh almost no one's talking about the feather.
Edit: no one's even talking about him saying "long one in the back" either
Good job turning a 5 min video into 22.
