NES Fix Permanent?
(1/4) > >>
mariocaseman:
So I have seen many people offer to "fix" the original toaster model of the NES by putting in a new 72-pin connector.  I don't know what that means exactly, but does anyone know if that is a PERMANENT fix?  If I have that done, will my toaster-oven NES operate flawlessly like my Top-Loader NES forever?  No blinking screens and no freezing during games?
Arseen:
Nope.

The new part will probably wear out eventually too.
But if you use clean carts you probably don't have to worry for years.
mariocaseman:
But my top-loader has been going strong since 1993.  Why is the fix not permanent?

Toploader has similar cartridge connectortor to SNES/Genesis/N64 (where you just push the cart in), where as toaster model has has different type that you stick the cart in and the push down which little by little bends the pins, add dirt to that and the connection can get bad fast.

this is the only perminant fix
