I checked ebay right after this thread started.... lots of 72 pin connectors for the NES on there... plus, I'm sure Googling might turn up a few direct links...

For the price of that bud computer you definitely got my bid. ;D

You need a new 72-pin connector. They're pretty cheap on ebay. I've fixed and resold a few dozen NES's so I think I'm qualified to say that it's not difficult in the least. Provided there isn't a lot of corrosion on the NES board or you have a power supply issue, a new 72-pin will stop the blinks for the most part. It would also behoove you to clean the contacts on your cartridges w/ isopropyl alchohol and q-tips.

Less than $10 shipped. I ordered one and also some N64 joystick replacement parts, the kids ruined them playing Mario Party.
