And check/replace any near-by electrolytic caps..IIRC,the big one near
the regulator would dry up from the heat and cause issues.
I think I read something about another small cap in there too,near the
RF modulator,not entirely sure..it's been a few years. ;-)

Hi, I have alongside me an original Nintendo system that has a
problem. It hasn't been used in several years and when fired up today
just sits there with the power LED blinking and the video output
flashing in time with the LED. I have checked the 7805 and it's
producing 5.05 V. Now before I dig deeper into this thing does anyone
have any pointers as where to start looking.

I know these are cheap and easy to come by but there are sentimental
reasons for fixing this particular unit.

Needless to say any/all assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Go to google.come and search using nintendo repair as key words.

Clean the cartridge connector.
