OK, I just finished rewiring the cart slot after buying a braid (thanks guys)...but I went to test it out on my TV...small one that is. I put the N64 DC in apater thingie in...then i test it out, works, but goes in and out. On the third time I turned it on...nothing, as in the LED didn't come. I'm like, WTF? Then I plug it into my normal N64...nothing!. I get another wall adapter out, works for two tries, then nothing, and on a test on my avergae system, nothing! What in Ben's name is going on?

try running it off of batteries and a DC DC

for some reason it sounds like the breakers in the PSU are wigging out

But TWO PSU's, both of them? Freaky.

maybe there's a shorted connection on the board that's blowing the PSUs' fuses

well that sound freaky indeed

But I agree with Daguuy there is something crossed or something on you n64p because it is freakin the PSU out

Examine all the connections (on the cart slot too) and make sure nothing is crossed, then post back!

Too late now, 10:30 here now...the cart slot, just tested it, no cross connections, And maybe it's the jack, there's some scattered soldered, a tiny, or maybe the lose jack, I didn't 'properly' solder it in.

Aww man, I spent so long resoldering all those wires, and now I gotta desolder them if it breaks, damn this project is being a real female dog

Update: Those two PSU's...dead, beyond all recognition, I plugged both of 'em in...just won't trun on my normal N64

yeah because the breakers in them have opened up or whatever you wanna call it, they need time to reset IIRC

Multimeter tells all. Thats how I troubleshoot power issues

Well, the PSU's work again (that was fast

). But, Super Mario 64 (the game I tested on my N64p) just won't work...like it just won't activate.

my mario 64 usually doesn't work either. it works when i insert it a couple times to clean off the connector though.

That's the thing, it's clean as a whistle...could a faulty rewiring be the cause of my 3D Mario Deprevation?

CHECK YOUR CONNECTIONS!

Simply because my mario 64 is working on m n64p, yes the riple portable is working out after all!
