Battery pack/screen problems

Something is shorting, because the 12V line should only have a draw of about 0.5A or something close.

.117 to be exact

...it only powers sound/video, I believe

I knew it was something low. I didn't think it was that low, but I knew it was far less than 6A.

Read the thread:

oh sorry

lol *o*

well anyhow, is it the high current that's making the voltage drop or what? You guys still haven't answered that yet. Also, any ways to fix both problems (the amps and voltage). Thx in advance!

I told you, something is shorting. Make sure you don't have any crossed wires or bridged solder points.

OK, i'll check.

Update:Apparently the N64 itself is the one that's busted

. I tried out the battery pak power source on my other N64 (the one I've done absolutely nothing to and use for playing normally) and it worked perfectly! So there's something wrong with the N64P. Any ideas what it is?

hmmmm....try replacing the jumper/expansion pack...also, try jumping the fuse(s) on the audio/video lines....

What fuses? I don't see any fuses!

trust us there there

How can I jump fuses if there are none?! BTW, I tested the Jumper Pak on the other N64 and it worked fine, so that's not it.
