Hey Guys,
New to the board. At my local Gamers (A Nebraska phenomenon), for ten bucks they will replace the NES chip (basically the entire guts of the machine). I've read some posts about NES's dying out on people and the same thing happened to me, but voila! I now have a working NES though like a new pair of jeans, the carts fit reeealy snugly in the machine still and I have to have the "touch" to lock the cart down into the system. All in all, though, it's good to see then NES back in action. I know this might ruin the value of the NES, seeing as it's not original parts, but it works!
Anyway, it was a service provided by my local Gamers. Do any of you have a similar service? I'd highly recommend it or even finding a chip and doing it yourself.
