After playing my new NES for several weeks it stopped working, so I cleaned the connector and the games, however it still didn't work, so I ordered a new 72-pin connector. After installing the connecter (and cleaning all contacts with rubbing alcohol, QTips and a toothbrush), it half works, actually displaying some graphics on the screen, however they are distorted and barely identifiable. After starting the game (eg. Mario Bros.), the graphics become even worse, only showing coloured blocks across the screen instead of distortion.
Help please?

I've also tried multiple games, so I know it isn't them.

I've had a similar problem with my NES. I'm not sure this will work for you, but it would be worth a try. I had the colored blocks come up on the screen, and the reason why was because the springs in the slot where you insert the games wasn't locking down into place. How I rigged it to work was I folded a piece of paper a few times, stuck the game in the slot, then shoved the folded paper on top so it would lock the game down tight enough it was able to make a connection. Since you have a new 72-pin connector and your games are clean, you may want to give this a try. It's quite common for the springs to wear out and cause the game to not lock into place. I hope this works for you!

Because it's over 20 years old.

Could be the games have too much corosion on them to even work anymore, so you get no connection at all.
