Using both hands, as pictured left...get a couple fingers under the
motherboard, (between the board and bottom metal piece) and pull up on it a bit, then, start pushing the old connector
off of the motherboard by using the "handles" on either side of the connectors. It will be very tight but it will slide off. Make sure the main board is raised high enough so that the connector is high enough to clear the lower metal piece

Push, Push , Push! Some times it is very hard to get off.

Step 8: Slide the New Connector into place.
Align the new connector and slide into place, assemble your NES in reverse order. Once assembled, you should now have a blink free system. If you run into problems and you have purchased a connector from me. please email me at Mary@gamepart.com I will be more than happy to help!

PLEASE READ

You must clean your games before using your new connector. If you do not, you will be wasting your time.

Ideally games should be wiped with a q-tip every time, before they are inserted. If you use a Game Genie, your connector pins will spread again
