SUNJOYCO NES Cartridge Slot

Bottom line: The SUNJOYCO NES Cartridge Slot ($17.99 on Amazon as of 2026-10-20 22:27 UTC): Fixes blinking and scrambled screens caused by a worn or bent factory 72-pin connector; main trade-off: feature copy repeatedly says Switch instead of NES, so listing text is confusing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Fixes blinking and scrambled screens caused by a worn or bent factory 72-pin connector
  • ✓ Ships with both 3.8mm and 4.5mm security bits, the two sizes NES shells actually need
  • ✓ Magnetic carbon steel screwdriver tip holds the tiny NES shell screws during reassembly
  • ✓ Metal contact construction targets the pin fatigue that kills original 1980s connectors

Cons

  • ✗ Feature copy repeatedly says Switch instead of NES, so listing text is confusing
  • ✗ Requires opening the console and removing the mainboard, not a plug-in fix
  • ✗ Fits the NES 8-bit front-loader only, not Top Loader or Famicom units
  • ✗ No warranty or lifespan figures listed by SUNJOYCO for the connector
