Is my N64 ruined? And more.

[Nurd!]

I have several N64s, and one of them is taken apart.

While playing a game, I thought that it would be a good Idea to touch a piece of metal to one of the chips, making two of the pins touch.

Now neither of my N64's are working.

I dunno what is wrong, if It killed the expansion pak or the power thing, I dunno how it would have, but is it possible for either of these things to have happened from just touching two pins together?

How do I power a Portable?
How do I make a case?- I'm 14 and have to access to any type of cutting machine of higher quality than stuff in my garage.

Bumping because of adding stuff.

Ok, never do that again.

Anyways, if the dont turn on(no red light) after using multiple power adapters, and checking all your connections, then I'd say fried. Also, never run your n64 without proper heatsinking. The 3 little things that come with it will kill it if you dont leave the heatsink as a whole. So replace that with something from an old computer, or be a rich guy or sumthin and buy some off internet.

To make a case, check the case construction forum. I beleive trton has a guide there.

TO power your n64p, use harshboy's diagram in the sticky, the correct links are on the last page.

Your welcome.

Thanks

Touching stuff together has never been bad to me on NES, Famicom, SNES, or any Gameboys.

That's because the N64 uses two power inputs not one. If you touch a line expecting 3v with a fair bit over that you will fry your system!

Have a look on my sig too for guides and diagrams for the N64 system.

Wait, all of your N64s are not working?

[Nurd!]

Hmm.

I guess I didn't say that correctly.


I have three N64's.

One is taken apart, and I use one of them.


When I touched those pins together (on the taken apart one), it either ruined the power thing, the expansion thing, or both, because I plugged them into my N64 that I use, and It didn't turn on,

5 bucks says it was the power brick.

[Nurd!]

Yeah, It was.

I have an extra, though
