Worth a shot?

It says it was working one day and then simply stopped working. Do you think that it could work again by doing something stupidly simple like taking the jumper pak out and putting it back in again? Is it worth the money in case I fry my N64?

If it's cheap, then get it. I got 2 SNESs for cheap because they were "broken". Actually, the cart slot was so dirty it didn't work. I just swapped out the cart slot and was set to go.
N64s don't just go bad. It's either user stupidity or... well I can't really see a reason why it would be "broken".

Yeah, thats what I thought. Somebody here said that they had a friend who had a N64 and all of a sudden it just stopped working. A year or so later, they tested it and it worked without any problems at all. I think I might go for it... Any other opinions?

I bought a broken Genesis 2 for 2 bucks, all the problem was is that the power input connections on the back of the PCB were loose, same with the controller ports.

I say go for it, 3 free games!

No controllers or memory expansion. Well for that price go for it. (since your just gonna use it as a backup)

Why not just buy this one since it's the same price and guaranteed to work.

Hmmm, i'll check that one later. I'm at school right now, and eBay is blocked.
