I replaced my NES connector (with a Kung-Fu gripper/MCM one) about a year and a half ago and started getting yellow screens again yesterday.  So, I took it out to clean it.  It was dirtier than I imagined but got it shiny and awesome again.

Well, it was working like an original ("ZIF") connector but has now gone back to Kung-Fu.  I think the dust and grime was lubricating the connection with the carts.  Just thought it was an interesting observation; maybe when the carts start sliding in real easy it's time to clean the ol' Kung-Fu grip.
