As well snipping the region lock ship stops the blinking as well...pretty solid either the game works or it doesnt, no playing around with the reset button anymore.
I've snipped the lockout chip and replaced the connector twice on my NES. I still get white screen of death or corrupted graphics fairly often. Lots of reset, power cycles, reseating the cart, cleaning, "blowing" etc...
The ZIF connector design is simply prone to errors. If this thing will permanently fix my NES so that it runs reliably like every other console in my collection, from Atari 2600 to N64 and Game Boy, that would be awesome...
