The NES failed to authorize the cartridge via the lockout chip. The lockout chip is used to tell the NES what games are licensed or unlicensed, and was made in response to the video game crash. I just saw MattKC’s video on the issue (5:10) and he says it’s best to remove the lockout chip from it (or clean the slot). It is nowhere present in model 2 since it’s removed from the board and to stop the blinking light. (Some games know how to bypass the chip like Game Genie)

Bought a NES with everything included for $95 at a family owned video game store that also sold sports memorabilia and other collectibles, had a similar chip in it but overall wasn’t discolored and looked good and the cords and controller were great condition, had the same blinking light problem when I first put in a different game and that’s literally what I had to do to get it working; firmly but not forcefully tap the side of it a few times until it decided to start working lol it’s weird that the method of hitting old technology is how you get it to work (long story ik)

The flashing on the screen and the blinking red light does not immediately mean the lockout chip is bad, or the games are pirated. The fact that these many games aren't working with this nes, and works on his other nes, that usually indicates the 72 pin connector is dirty or broken.

not necessarily. When games are not clean the console does the same. Tries to but doesn't quite get to start.. then you blow the games and it stops blinking. (Happened 10000 times to me). Many games that work fine also blink a few times sometimes, before I accommodate them properly, and then they start.

The 10-NES chip is broken. It’s a region determining feature on the original NES that kept PAL and other foreign games from running on it. When that happens, it will constantly restart and give the blinking light. This can be circumvented by jostling the cartridge in the system and pressing the Reset button.

If your power light is flashing red, there is a problem with the 72-PIN connector. This problem may be caused by dust. A dusty connection leads to the game not being able to register. If the 72-PIN connector is clean, yet still not working properly, it can be faulty which will require you to purchase a new one.

blinking light just means dirty pin. use 91% alcohol and q-tip. do not disable the lockout chip, that doesn't help. sometimes you get a blinking gray screen (more pins are dirty), and if you disable lockout, you just get a solid gray screen.. so cleaning it is really the only fix.
