The NES failed to authorize the cartridge via the lockout chip. The lockout chip is used to tell the NES what games are licensed or unlicensed, and was made in response to the video game crash. I just saw MattKC’s video on the issue (5:10) and he says it’s best to remove the lockout chip from it (or clean the slot). It is nowhere present in model 2 since it’s removed from the board and to stop the blinking light. (Some games know how to bypass the chip like Game Genie)

Bought a NES with everything included for $95 at a family owned video game store that also sold sports memorabilia and other collectibles, had a similar chip in it but overall wasn’t discolored and looked good and the cords and controller were great condition, had the same blinking light problem when I first put in a different game and that’s literally what I had to do to get it working; firmly but not forcefully tap the side of it a few times until it decided to start working lol it’s weird that the method of hitting old technology is how you get it to work (long story ik)

A blinking light on a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) could be caused by a number of things, including: Dirty contacts A blinking red light could indicate that the contacts inside the game or the 72-pin connector inside the console are dirty. You can clean the contacts with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol. You can also try cleaning the circuit board with contact cleaner and a bristle brush. Damaged connector A blinking red light could also indicate that the 72-pin connector is damaged, with bent pins. Underpowered power source If the NES is not turning on or has a blank screen, it could be due to an underpowered AC adapter or power source. You can try using a licensed AC adapter. Damaged cables If the NES is turning off unexpectedly, you can try resetting the AC adapter and checking for any physical damage to the HDMI or USB cables. You can try replacing any damaged cables. You can also try making a shim to keep the carts from going too far back and pushing the pins too far.
