    Hi, I've had my NES for a few years now and I've had no issues with it until now. It will turn on and play for about a minute and then shut off, leaving the red LED very dim. I couldn't find any videos or articles about how to fix it so if you can, please help. I have also used many different power supplies as well so I don't think it's that. Here is a link the video showing this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKw7SF1CB-U

    Open your NES and check if any of the component is the hottest. I guess +5V regulator may be faulty, or a capacitor.
    This can help you to order new ones.
