Nintendo Entertainment System 72-PIN Connector Replacement

Introdução

The 72-PIN connector is a piece of hardware inside of the game console. It has 72 metal pins, which come into contact with the metal spokes inside of the game cartridge to register the game. The pins on the connector bend out of place over time, and the game console can no longer register your games. This guide will show you how to locate and remove your worn out 72-PIN connector.

    • Note: Underneath the cartridge tray is a black trapezoid-shaped tab/lip (see marker). When properly assembled this tab/lip goes below the motherboard and shielding as seen here.

    • During reassembly, make sure you orient this tab underneath the motherboard in addition to orienting the tray on top. Failure to do so will bow the cartridge tray and place stress on the component, causing the cartridge spring mechanism to bind.

    • To prevent mixing the wires up during reassembly, it can be helpful to label the wires with a piece of tape.

Because it wasn't terribly clear, the pin connector pulls off from the motherboard. Just pull straight away from the board to clear the connector. It takes some force to get it off.

And, no wires need to be disconnected either.

Very easy repair.
