Nes blinking lights; Is the power connector faulty?

Hi. I recently bought a NTSC US NES console from ebay. Packed it out and it worked straight out of the box. However over time I needed to keep the console in a drawer and apply pressure with a controller or whatever object that would keep the power jack firmly inserted into the power connector.

However, it doesnt work now. I disassembled my NES and could not get the box with the audio, video and power plug open. I then read about that the 72 pin connector and dirty games may be causing the problem. I wonder if its maybe the power socket, the 72 pin or maybe both. Any advice would help  image

thank you!

    It is most likely the 72 pin connector that is the problem. Some people repair them but I haven't had much luck with it so I just replace them.
