NES Blinking Light - Blinking Light Win Installation - Fixing eBay Junk 

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.

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.

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 !

I've had one of these in my NES for a couple years now, never had a problem since.

You don’t clean the 72 pin connector on the motherboard? It looked dirty

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

Thank you for the Kona fix.

Thanks for showing this fantastic mod. Now you can play the NES games without pushing down the cartridge tray.

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.

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.

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).

That feather is a omen 😂

1:28 that voice crack 😂

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.

Love this mod. I've gotten several of them!!!

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.

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?

Best voice on youtube

Very nice mod. I may have to look into this myself 1 day

Oh canada 🇨🇦. Great video

I've bought 3 of these, only complaint is they're only available like once a year.

Why not a lever or a button that ejects the game? Plenty of room still left even with the door closed?

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

Awesome video as always ❤️👍

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

That feather 🤣

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?)

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.

I just subscribed for Kona 😁😁

Please, record/export as mono and then duplicate it. You're talking on the left of the mike almost all time

but can you plug Game Genie or Action Replay in this slot, I guess not

It's funny how Nintendo specially designed fancy trashy bulky variant for EU and USA, while Japanese variant was the most practical one. :D

Where can I buy one

8:33 NES ate a chicken when you weren't looking.

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.

What is the link to buy? Where did you buy it?

The habit of pressing the cartridge down will be hard to break heh.

Hows your Blinking Light Win holding up?

Do you need to discharge remaining power in system before you open it up?

Did a chocobo get into your NES?

I ways thought that pushing it down should have been the "power" button...

HOW DID THE FEATHER GET IN THERE

Good video but I was cringing at seeing a game in the “up” position, and putting stickers on that beautiful case!!

Mine was finicky even brand new in the 80s

That feather sends a clear message..... You'd better sign up for WW1, or risk social ostracization....

Too bad you can't buy those anymore :(

A feather? What the heck?

Epic fail, this doesn’t have any blinking lights at all. Big rip off... 😬

Clear coat the stickers

how the fuck a feather god inside?

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.

Advise Repair something Then make a giveaway To every country

🐨

Blinking light Win is such a cop out. It's better to just fix the pin connector and keep it 100% original.

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.

I'm not paying 40 for that thing.

thumbs down 4 no clear sticker guild comes together lol

Just blow the game out lol worked for me in the 80s

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 ..

Bruh almost no one's talking about the feather. Edit: no one's even talking about him saying "long one in the back" either

First thing to do with an NES is defeat the lockout chip. Com POZZ zit

Good job turning a 5 min video into 22.
