broken n64.

Post by jeffslot »

Hi guys,

I picked up a couple of n64's this weekend at yardsales. Only 1 of them worked, the other one light's up, but doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know where I can find some good / detailed information on the internet about repairing these units. I saw that Nintendo still repairs them, but don't want to pay that much for a n64. Thansk.

No, that sounds like an excellent place to start. I'll try that as soon as I get home. Thanks.

sometimes the video cable doesn't make a good connection with the plug, but that doesn't happen very often
