Strip the wires back and start again, connecting just the power, then the screen and power; if the system powers up, then connect each button contact in turn and test the system turns on after each button connected until you get everything working (this would indicate a short or wrong wiring). It might be that you haven't connected the negative wire to the battery, you connected the common ground wires for the controllers wrongly or have a short. Back to basics, and baby steps - don't give up!

Vague description of the problem is vague.davidm wrote:nes hand built does not power on
Check your battery polarity, check to see if the battery's charged, try running the NES off its power adapter.
Do you have a multimeter and know how to use it? If not, get one and learn.
Seriously, you're going to have to be much more descriptive of your problems or start putting up pictures if you want effective help. "It doesn't turn on" is like telling the mechanic "my check engine light is on".

ok i got the screen to power on! hurray!!!!!!!!!
but nothing else works i guess no power to the nes mother board.
what i did is grounded the screen to the nes mother board.
the controls are not hooked up yet.
soooo i will continue to retrace
i connected a wire to the positive out to 5 volts out
and got a white screen
and i need a link and two get capacitors for the left board in the nes hand-built project in the book.
