I always see posts about people stumbling upon cheap or free collection and go, "how does this just happen to people?". Well I finally got my turn. My brother-in-law gave me his NES and games to round out some of my collection! The NES was blinking so it got a full cleaning and new 72pin and she works good as new. What's everyone's favorite from this?! Personally excited to play Kirby's Adventure and Punchout.

Was working on restoring an old NES that was gifted to me. It has the classic blinking red light issue. I tore it down, cleaned the contacts, and boiled the 72pin connector and it didn't work still. Upon teardown I noticed this on the mobo where the 72pin connects. Think it's toast?
