I have A NES-001 and I hooked it up to my tv, but when i turn the system on the red light will turn on and off, and when the red light stays on there is no picture on the screen! What should I do?

Look for input on box then use red and white on last two

This is possible a problem with your A/V cords. Try "jiggling" them around when you have the NES turned on, and if there is no picture or sound after that, you may need a new set of the cables.

Please place this in the right section. This section is for PC Game controllers, not Nintendo consoles.

When hooking a super Nintendo or an NES system or a sega genesis system to a digital tv you need av cables for it to work then instead of using an rf switch

NES AV to TV Hookup



Note: This type of connection is not possible with the newer-style NES.

Installation Steps:

Locate the Audio/Video inputs on the back of the TV.
Place the yellow end of the AV cable into the Video "in" on the back of the TV. Connect the white or red end of the cable to Audio "in" ("left" or "mono"). Use a slight twisting motion when inserting each cable and ensure the cables are firmly pressed into the input.
On the other end of the AV cable, plug the yellow end into the "Video" (yellow) input. Plug the white or red end into the "Audio" (red) input, on the back of the NES.
After the system is connected to the TV:

Insert the Game Pak firmly into the Control Deck.
Plug the Controller(s) into the front of the system. Use the far left port for player one.
Plug the AC Adapter into the back of the system . Plug the other end into a wall outlet.
Press the Power button in on the front of the NES.
Turn on the TV and locate the input select. It is often called: TV/Video, input select, AUX (auxiliary), Line, Line In, Input, Source, Select, In, or EXT (external). Switch the input select to show the Nintendo game.
The game image should now be displayed on the screen. You are ready to play!
If after following these directions you are not able to view the game (for instance, if the red power light flashes off and on), try our Troubleshooting Tips.

As long as it's 9 volt and about 500mA it should be ok. Just seen an original that says 9 volt and 400mA.

The current (mA) can be higher than the original but not the voltage that has to be 9.

1000mA = 1 Amp. So anything over 400mA is fine, but not less.

-Connect RF adapter up to your TV, then you hook the existing cable into the RF adapter, change tv channel to 3, start playing.

Hi,

You can try to change the input to Video instead of channel 3 since you're using a RCA (Red, Yellow and White) cable.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Here is a link to a website that has a text only version of the nes manual. Hope it helps.

Well those 3 way adapters are bad news then use an offical NES ac adapter for ensured quality.
