        Our nine month old Nintendo is on the blink and I would
     appreciate pointers to information (schematic would be great but I
     won't hold my breath) about it.

        The power ON light blinks even when no game has been inserted. I've
     tried cleaning the contacts on the game connector and have done a
     visual inspection.  I have not checked the 7805 voltage regulator yet.

        Would I be correct in assuming that the blinking light indicates
      an overload ?

    Thank you;
