Question
My old 8bit NES powers up but it turns on and off.thats all it does on off on off. any help would be great!
Did you try blowing really hard in the system and the cartridge itself. You can also try using rubbing alcohol to clean both the system and the games you are playing. Rubbing alcohol usually works pretty good to get rid of the dust and dirt. Your other option is, why not just download a NES emulator and then download NES roms and play the original games on your computer. That would be the simplest way to play the games with no problems.
