How do you stop the power light from blinking on an original Nintendo unit?

Question

I've hit the reset button a 1000 times with no luck.

Answer 1

you could spend eight dollars (shipping is part of that 8) to get a new 72 pin connector off the internet, and replace the old, dying one in your nintendo.

then clean all the games before you use them, and they'll work like new

Answer 2

are you asking how to get the game to work?

If that's the question; you don't push the game ALL of the way in; you only push it in far enough to where the game will just fit inside.

To rephrase: load the game cartridge as shallowly as possible into the NES, so that the back of the cartridge would scrape the inside of the NES as it was pushed down into place.

The old NESs have a problem with the NES10 pin, which is rather finicky--- this method helps the alignment between the cartridge and the system.
