I pulled out the old NES today and it hasn't been working. When I turn it on, there are buzzing noises from the TV and sometimes a little pixelated mess. Is it busted or is it fixable?

Is it dusty?
Are the game cartridges dusty?

Try blowing both in, that always works for me.

Maybe the room you are in is too cold or too hot, or it could be the TV if it's an HDTV.

Perhaps. I am going to try it on my other TV as well. If that doesn't work, I may look for a new NES on Amazon or at Level Up Entertainment.

It sounds more like a voltage issue, if your nintendo is making noises like that it could be a bad cerkit in the motherboard or the power adapter your useing are you useing a normal nes adapter or a 3 party one, because the nintendo needs a 120 volts power supply.

Cable maybe?

I just had this happen on PS3 where the TV made a light buzzing sound, when I jiggled the video cable the image screwed up as well. Popped cable out of PS2, plugged it into PS3, problem was solved. (I'm using composite cables on a SDTV fyi)

The console comes on right? And you said it was your TV making the noise, so may be a bad AV cable.

That to, When i had the problem it was a voltage problem but with my xbox it was a av problem so idk try and jiggle the cord and bit and see if it works or try a spare and if its the same then check your power supply.

On a side note. This should be in the video game section.
