intheradae the greatest The Red Ring of Death generally refers to the 3 ring general hardware failure mode. No one really care about the other modes as none of them were permanent failures. I vaguely remember it was the GPU that failed from overheat and the later boards added heat pipes to the GPU heat sink. Either way, it was a shitty design. Granted Sony's PS3 suffered similar yellow light of death, but nowhere near as wide spread as the red ring.

To be clear to all watchers, just because it blinks, doesn't mean you need to replace the 72 pin. There is not a single system that didn't blink. It will blink if the game cartridge needs cleaning or system needs cleaning, which can be done using an official Nintendo deck cleaner. Start with cleaning your games and system first, over and over. And yes, the 72 pin does go bad in some systems.

Not sure if someone commented on this before, but the "tape cassete" -like click-down action of the loading slot is purely cosmetic and there to make the system feel more like a VCR so Nintendo could market the NES as a home entertainment system rather than a "video game" after the crash of 83. The same reason it looks like an easy bake oven and came with a light gun and a robot. The slot should function fine without clicking the games down, and all clicking them down does is strain the 72-pin connector. It's recommended to just insert and remove games without pressing them down.

If you want it to last even longer, apply some dielectric grease to the connection between the mother board and the 72pin. It will protect the motherboard against corrosion from moisture and oxygen getting in there and mean that it's just the 72 pin that may need to be replaced in the future, rather than having to repair the motherboard side connectors.

Those ICs are held down with adhesive so they don't move when the board goes through the wave soldering phase of production. You'd need a hot air desoldering station to try to get that chip off. Cutting the pin is the best solution. It's just a region lock chip, and those things are evil anyway.

Just to note, the Remodeled NES, the NES 101, also known as the NES 2 or the NES top loader does not have the lock out chip. The trade off is the US version of the remodel generally lacks A/V out in favor of RF only (those NES 101 that got sent back to Nintendo for repairs got modded with a Multiout connector similar to the SNES and N64). The Japanese version the Famicom A/V only has A/V out. Also if the NES 101 gets a AV mod its picture quality is better than the original front loader NES. Also the NES 101 and the Famicom A/V are the preferred consoles for RGB video mods.

Great video. Clear concise and honest. As stated by another comment, a desoldering pump is a necessary part of an electronics tool kit. I always use a DS pump especially on through-holes that act as vias. Once the chip is removed, clean up both sides with solder wick and then clean the area with a q-tip and isopropyl alcohol.

Thanks for the video, I just found this after replacing a 72pin connector and still had an issue with the lockout chip. This video helped me out! A little tip for desoldering IC's from 2 layer boards. You can use a vacuum desoldering tool on your Weller DS40 or Hakko FR-410 or similar. They will make quick work of desoldering with less heat and destructiveness to the board just add a little flux, and it is less of a risk to use than the braid, because you won't lift up a trace. Makes removal much easier. Similar to removing SMD's you can also heat up the IC pin by pin and gently lift it out off the board with some IC puller tool (really inexpensive) after desoldering it and it will pop right out. Just let the heat work it out, don't apply force to the IC when removing it our you might lift a trace. Give that method a try. They also make IC desoldering tips, that are chaped like a square, a U shape or a large line shape that also help apply heat evenly to the tips of the IC's and make removing them easier.

If you take the time to pull the Lockout Chip just to pull out Pin 4 then take the extra step and put an IC socket so if for any reason you want to revert to going back to using the Lockout Chip then you can just pull the IC, rebend the IC and pop it back in.

Yeah trying to desolder the chip was a noob move. For those with one of those screwdrivers that accept different magnetic bits, you may want to find a really small flat-head driver and dig through that pin. It will cut lower than any sideways pliers and can actually reconnect just by bending it back to the board. It actually works without soldering too if you don't solder well or don't own an iron. Just a heads up.

My connection between the 72pin and the mainboard was badly corroded and pitted. I've opted to just replace the pins and I'll have to sand down the corrosion on the mainboard side and apply some new metal. After I do that, I'll be applying some dielectric grease to prevent it from happening again. The pressure of the pins against the connector should keep the water and oxygen out so that there's no corrosion in the future. Unfortunately, you can't really do that with the cart side as you're removing and reinstalling cards constantly.

If anyone is reading this, you can still cut the pin and place a switch in to power the lockout chip back on Incase you choose to one day use an Aladdin deck enhancer(which will fry the board if the chip doesn’t work) or not. Cut the pin as close to the board as you can and bend it out. Ethernet cable can be found ANYWHERE in second hand stores that sell electronics (Salvation Army, Savers, Goodwill) and contain the perfect solid copper wire to connect to the cut pin, and the board where it lands. You can install a miniature DPST switch to turn the lockout off and on. After you fix the connection issue you can play Any NTSC game you want, and then if you feel like picking up any PAL exclusive titles, you flick that switch and you are good to go. You can have the best of both worlds. Good luck.

It seems to me that the best way of doing it reversibly would be to solder in a socket to put the chip into You can then cut the pin of the socket before installation so that the original chip is completely untouched. If you're going to desolder the chip anyways, might as well solder in an easily replaceable socket.

All PAL/NTSC NESs can play each others games without any moddifications needed since the format was on the consoles and not the cartridges. what the NES10 chip did prevent was 3rd party converters and carts from working correctly. I bought a NTSC nes, but it was blinking like yours did, I tried using both NTSC and PAL carts and both worked fine (except for the blinking part).

WRONG! The 10 NES chip also controlled region lockout. You could "switch" the 10 NES chip region by a special reset pattern. But if you want to play PAL on NTSC and visa versa you will have to cut pin 4. Though your games will run at the wrong speed..if you mix regions.

Hi, so I did this (disconnected the fourth leg) and it did stop the light from blinking, but my game still doesn't work. I bought the cart off amazon and it looks pretty clean no rattling around inside or anything like that. Do you think I should replace the 72 bit connector or try another game first?

Definitely try another game first, though it certainly is possible that your 72-pin connector is bad (another common problem). Good luck!

Did you clean it with alcohol? I use 70 to 90 % and it works good for all my games (even my 3ds games)

I replaced the chip with a new one and it still is very finicky and doesn't reliably run the games. I'm going to follow your instructions this weekend but hopefully it will fix the issue

I bought my nintendo with the lockout chip disabled. I don't even press the cart down after I put it in, so I don't have to bend the pins back a few years from now.

Mine has the red blinking light, but the screen is also flashing pink. Will this still work?

They have a new mod called red light wins a two piece replacement part without cutting anything that fixes that problem and you no longer have to push down on the cartridge and is reversible not that you'd want to.

hi, first cleaned the system and the game cartridge. Again the light flashes. then I did what you showed in the clip, breaking the fourth leg. Now the game starts (it can be played) but the monitor image constantly jumps. any ideas?

I got my console to stop blinking for a bit (which I guess means I don't need to replace the 72 pin?) but then it went right back on blinking, any suggestions?
