n64 problems

Post by Hifeno »

I have a n64 board that when i wire it up to the batteries the power light comes on but I get no video whatsoever. Anyone know what could cause this. I have not tried any other power options. I got the board from Jiden and he said it worked for him up until he started having some kinda battery trouble but I can not figure it out. How many milliamps does it need to run?
That's Hacking Awsome

It needs about 1.2 amps on the 3.3v line and much less on the 5v line, less than 500ma, I think.

Go through the N64 trouble shooting guide. That covers a lot of what could be wrong with an N64. Are the N64 and screen grounds connected? Is the screen (if not a TV) getting power also? If the LED comes on, the 3.3v line is getting power. Is the 12v line getting at least 7v?
