How to: Sistemare il problema del "blinking"

Il NES è una console meravigliosa per tantissime ragioni, ma è anche conosciuta per la sua ristretta longevità a livello hardware.
Sostanzialmente, tutti i NES prodotti hanno un unico difetto, che consiste the duration of the 72-pin connector or the connector used to read the nes game cartridges, such a connector, over the years and use, are prone to wear, in this case it is possible that the various pins will oxidize, or that being filled with dust, or that you expand the "teeth" of the connector, all these problems lead to non-functioning of our console.

symptoms to understand that this is a common problem of "blinking" are as follows (not all occur simultaneously):

• vision on screen is white / gray intermittently
• The red power the console is switched on and off intermittently;
• one color on the screen;
• Graphics distorted;

The solution of the problem for 99.99% of the cases, then replace the 72-pin connector, but before the replacement is strongly recommended to try to clean it with Product antioxidant, or with a standard cotton-fiock soaked in ethyl alcohol.

The connector 72-pin NES

WARNING: Do not connect the cleaned up with even the presence of alcohol and / or pieces of cotton wool on it and also prevent a blow on the connector and / or game cartridges, solves nothing, indeed, doing so your saliva is deposited and you could create a layer of oxidation.

To replace the 72-pin connector is therefore necessary to open the console, the procedure to open the console can be found in the guide below (watch porn hardware: P)

HOW TO: Open the console and replace the connector 72-pin

The NES is fortunately very easy to open, we succeed also a 6 year old boy equipped with Phillips screwdriver of Clementoni: D
Bring then a standard screwdriver (or screwdriver commonly called American) turned the console with the bottom up and unscrew the screws, to remove the top cover with the lid, then you will be presented in the console as photos

HOW TO: Disable the Lockout Chip (Make the console Region-Free)

As we all know I hope there are several versions (region) of NES, the difference in version is based on the location of the console.
Unfortunately, unlike all consoles, portable consoles like the NES home were designed with a block Regional, which avoided the use of game cartridges from different regions of your console.
For simplicity, the NES console is divided into regions:

PAL-A: Italy, Great Britain, Australia
PAL-B: France, Germany, Spain
NTSC: USA and Canada

Be careful not to consider the Japanese NTSC version as it is and not Famicom Nes, the connector is totally different

The regional bloc is due to a chip on the motherboard to disable it just follow a few steps.
First you must open the console (follow the guide above), after the phase Opening the console, you need to find the offending chip for the regional bloc

Located chip no choice but to cut the pin 4
Council: instead of cutting cleanly through the pin, it is better to leave it there , disconnecting integration.
