whats going on here?
ok so i wired up the original power plug back to the board after trimming it, connected the pins to there respective spot on the board (12v to 12v, GND to GND, and 3.3v to 3.3v) put an LED on the 3.3v before turning on the console to make sure the power supply was working, which it was, then turned the console on. when i turned it on i put the LED on the 3.3v line again, the response.. nothing. this has happened to me twice today and the power supply just goes into "sleep mode", what could be causing this?

Re: whats going on here?
Are you putting the LED in series on the 3.3V line?
If not then its probably your N64.

Power supply is overloaded or shorted.
Check that jumper pack is in forwards. Put you multimeter between 3v3 and gnd to check for a short. Do the same for 12v.
"after trimming it" - did you clean up afterwards? If you used a saw there could be metal dust everywhere.

That happens to me a lot. Go through the board with a duster, very soft brush, canned air, or violent shakes to get any bits of crud that could be causing a short.timmeh87 wrote: "after trimming it" - did you clean up afterwards? If you used a saw there could be metal dust everywhere.
