Absolutely.
I've had that logo since 7th grade, and I rock the hell out of it.

There's absolutely no reason for it to get stuck in a reset loop.

Anyway!
Get ready for some Famicom mod tutorials.
Coming soon to a youtube near you!

I've noticed that sometimes I'll get an NES that won't work if I just leave the 4th leg stump hanging.

That's funny, some guy over on nesdev found that if pin 4 is grounded on some revisions of the 10NES lockout chip it would cause the system to be in a constant reset state (ie not power on) and that it would *sometimes* work if the pin was left floating.

But, I ran out of motivation after breaking the CIC. I should just get a game for a buck, and replace the one on my nes.

Clean your cartridges.
Use a Q-tip and some Brasso until the contacts are super shiny, then swab it out with some alcohol.

I'll ground it later, and share my results.
