Where and how to fix an original Nintendo?

Question

I recently bought a original nintendo system from a yard sale. The lady told me it worked, but sadly, that's not the case. The games, when I push them down, don't STAY down. Can this be fixed? Where would I take it to get it fixed?

I've had moderate success by stuffing things inside on top of the game cartridge to hold it down.

Don't listen to the guy who suggests taking it to GameStop--he thinks it has a HDD inside LOL!

Old NESes are not very reliable. You might want to get a clone instead:

You might be able to find one at a Play'N'Trade or other classic gaming store. I have a Retro Duo but the connector is too tight. When I rip the cartridge out (yes, it's that tight) it literally bends the connectors!

maybe there would be someone in this world who can fix  a nintendo. but the company Nintendo won't fix it since it is an old system.

it could be fixed, but where is a problem. My guess is to go to gamestop, or to go to any place that sells video games and ask to fix it/ replace the hardrive/disk opener. If none of the above work, return it, get the money, and buy a new one.
