So my nes has been showing a blue screen on all but a few games and I decided to replace it with a 72 pin connector. Problem is, it didn't change a thing. What should I try?

You're supposed to boil the included connector and put it back not buy a new one
How with the internet u didn't know this

Just disable the international lockout chip

I boiled two in distilled water, gave them a good brushing and set to dry for 24 hours.
Worked.

As other anons said, try disabling the lockout chip. It's brain-dead easy to do and fixed 99% of the issues I had. If that doesn't work, I hate to say it, but the NES might be fucked. If you have any techie friends, asking them might be your best bet.

disabling the lockout chip only solves the blinking problem; if you're getting a solid color, the lockout isn't the cause.

you could try buying a top-loader: they're costly, and the US model is RF-only, but they're way more reliable.

That video was kind of disappointing. It's not that hard to look up info about disabling the lock-out chip and that guy could've shown more interesting mods or repair work like how to replace the condensators.
