Using both hands, as pictured left...get a couple fingers under the
motherboard, (between the board and bottom metal piece) and pull up on it
a bit, then, start pushing the old connector
off of the motherboard by using the "handles" on either side of the connectors.
It will be very tight but it will slide off. Make sure the main board is
raised high enough so that the connector is high enough to clear the lower
metal piece

Align the new connector and slide into place, assemble your NES in reverse
order. Once assembled, you should now have a blink free system. If you run
into problems and you have purchased a connector from me. please email me
at help@gamepart.com I will be more
than happy to help! |
| You must
clean your games before using your new connector. If you do not, you
will be wasting your time. Ideally games should be wiped with a q-tip every
time, before they are inserted. If you use a Game Genie, your connector pins
will spread again. back
