Solder a wire like this and see if it can work:

Also, the power connector may be dirty. If the Famiclone still does not turn on, then insert the DC jack multiple times and wiggle it, etc, see if it can rub and scrape the contacts inside and start running again. This looks like a nice quality Famiclone.
I prefer to show you the result rather than tell you, I think it will be more satisfying.

I really looked at the board a thousand times and I saw that there was no continuity between those 2 points, but I overlooked it. I just started with this repair thing, thanks a million, and the first step is to revive the family. I hope this helps us with the nes.
