The 72 Pin Connector is the Achilles' heel of the NES. It connects the game module with the consoles board.
After all those years the pins are filthy and worn out, what leads to insufficient contact between the module and the console and therefore a black screen when playing. 💔

Found some advice about cooking the connector in boiling water, what cleans and adjusts the pins to their original position. 💧
Worked perfectly in my case, but copy at your own risk. ⚠️
