Well it sounds like the fuse is broken and needs to be replaced then 1.5 amp ico fuse for the Super Nintendo console I think that kijijiji and eBay sell these fuse types for SNES consoles the fuse will have to be soldered on and solder the old one off first too. If you don't fell comfortable with fixing it find a place that fixes old consoles or find some one that can fix it for you or just buy a new console

SOURCE: how to fix my nintendo (NES) without replacing anything

Yes, this is a 72 pin connector problem. The connector has become dirty or oxidized and needs replacing or cleaning. Problem can usually be solved by buying a NES console Pin cleaner which inserts like a game. The "Eliminator" is one which works great wet or dry to eliminate this problem.

SOURCE: Nintendo NES Repair

Hi sounds like your console has a weak connector pin and is lsing contact with your game. I fixed mine buy purchasing a new connector pin from www.gameoz.com.au and it included step by step instructions with photos and a few tips on how to clean NES cartridge games as their is no use in installing a new 72 pin connector if you dont properly clean the NES games because installing dirty games into a new connector pin will result in console blinking flashing again.

SOURCE: whenever i turn on my NES the power light blinks

Hi sounds like the common fault found with these old retro consoles. Flashing light is mostly because the system does not make good contact with the game. which may be because of a worn out connector pins in side the console or dirty games recommend cleaning all your games with a game cartridge paste cleaner and replacing the connector pin with a new one. see http://www.gameoz.com.au/store/nintendo-entertainment-system/nes-accessories/ they carry these items and included photo instructions.

I have a blinking red light on my nintendo nes game system. what does that mean?

The blinking red light on your Nintendo NES game system typically indicates a connection or cartridge issue. It could mean that the cartridge isn't inserted properly or is dirty. Try removing the cartridge, blowing on it to remove dust, and reinserting it firmly. If the problem persists, you may want to clean the connectors on both the cartridge and the NES system with a soft, clean cloth or cleaning solution specifically designed for this purpose. If that doesn't resolve the issue, there might be a more serious problem with the console, and you may need to consult a technician for repairs.

Light keeps blinking we pushed the reset button but it still keeps blinking. It is one of the first nintendo they came out with

The 72 pin connector is bad in the NES console which is why your getting the red light to constantly blink.

The connector needs to be replaced, this is one site I found thru google that sells replacement connectors. Click here.

That site happens to give you an installation guide that will show you how to take out the old connector and install the new one.

Nes light keep's blinking

well, heres what you do.. turn it off, and eject the cartridge.. blow in the bottom where the chip is to get rid of any dust, and put it back in.. turn it on.. if it still blinks, turn it off, and eject the game again.. this time blow into the nes itself.. put the game back in, and turn it on.. if its STILL blinking, grab another cartridge, and TURN OFF THE NES its very important. press down on the game you want to play, like your going to eject it, but instead of letting it up, slide that second cartridge you grabbed in on top of the first one.. turn the nes on, and enjoy...

it SHOULD work... if not, try taking a q-tip and dipping it in hydrogen peroxide, and cleaning the nes and game.
