After the Atari 2600 failed me. I decided to pull out the NES and see what I got on that one. It was another adventure so come along and follow the 🧵👇🏼
At first boot all I got was a flashing red light and the video would flash off and on. I decided to unplug everything and spray contact cleaner in the slot and also clean the cartridges. That at least got me to a gray screen
Man did a little bit of wiggling and a jiggling moving the cartridge back a little side. A little hit the reset and voila!
And jackals looking pretty good too!
For another time though, it's going to take the boil the slot method. It gets a little bit old having to wiggle it around to get it to work. So later I'll tear it down, do a really good cleaning and boil that cartridge slot to help everything return back to its normal state.
