Yeah yeah yeah, I know about the pen and candle method and all that. That worked on my last (fried) n64, but now I've gotten a new one and can't, for the life of me get that thing open. I've tried needle-nose pliers and the pen and candle method, to no avail. Anyone else got any tips on how to open this thing??? I don't want to spend money on a Gamebit

Well did you burn the pen? Cause if you did it will become brittle and won't work anymore...

you could always just drill out the screws.

try heating them with a soldering iron and pulling them out with pliars. either that or get a tougher pen
