Got a classic Nintendo with power but no video? The problem usually isn’t what you think.

Most people rush to replace the 72-pin connector, but that fix alone often misses the real culprit: failing capacitors. If you’ve already tested the pin set and confirmed it’s good, there are three capacitors on the motherboard that commonly cause this no-video issue and should be replaced.

We’ve included clear photos below showing the exact capacitor locations and values, so you’re not guessing or risking damage to the board.

This quick repair can save you hours of frustration—and keep an original Nintendo alive instead of shelved.
