OK first off...sorry about all the posting....
Well, i fixed the dc regulator problem, i bought one of those variable dc adapters for the car for about 10 bucks...tested it with meter runs from 9.6v down to 3.2!!! so i hook everything up and measured across...3.2v!!!
Now:
1. The screen comes on
2. The red LED on front of the N64 comes on
3. No excessive heat or burning smell (yay)
4. No display, not even when i hook it back up to a regular TV
So...i think i might have fried my board...if so..now i have to wait till tomorrow to get a new one.
Have any of you guys heard of this problem before...i really hope its not fried, and that im doing something stupid...

I think your dc converter is wired wrong or something. Maybe it's just turning into a big on/off light (flashylight). Recheck your connections.

probably too much current being drawn for you circuit, or perhaps heat is an issue.

I agree with Gamey there. Either the DC/DC is getting too hot and shutting itself off, or it cannot supply enough amperage for the N64. It should be able to supply at least 1300mah, but I recomend 1800mah (only because I read that somewhere). If the DC/DC is made up of any chips, try heatsinking 'em.

Also, recharge the battery pack and let us know. It could of been the whole problem after all.
