[hmpolux5]

Hey dude, just a question. Mi N64 have this problem that when i turn it on after like a minute or may be 10 seconds or half a minute , it resets, and keps on reseting like if i just pushed the reset button, keeps on doing that do yo have any idea of which problem does it have?

[maximilianrodliff]

I am not getting any picture used to have to go through the a VCR player before the tv with the rf airiel cable or the composite av red/yellow/ White cable why can't o go through the tv? Recovered my n64 from loft and now nothing works on my lg HDTV

[RCTruckPulling]

what kind of capacitors are those? Those aren't your run of the mill electrolytic capacitors! Also, how do you even read the specs of them? I have a ESR meter ... but without the voltage rating and size ... makes them hard to check!

[MrPAN92]

mine plays audio and no video any suggestions ?

[jose5080007]

@MrPAN92 try using different av cables

[LinkGamer12]

[jose5080007]

@LinkGamer12 I'm 98% sure it's your power cord, try using a different cord

[jose5080007]

@nalgaface123456789 when the solder gets old over the years it can crack.

[Marioiswicked]

[jose5080007]

@Marioiswicked There could be many things wrong if it does that try opening the system and look for a blown cap.

[Marioiswicked]

@jose5080007 okay

[MarcMalone1986]

So what does it mean when your N64 is making a buzzing sound during gameplay?

[jose5080007]

@MarcMalone1986 It might be from one of the caps on the board

[SMAAAASHTV]

gonna have to get a gamebit and check this as I have a system that gets no video but I definitely still get audio.

[LProcker9798]

how do you clean/bend back the pins and what do you do if there are bubbles on your processor?

[jose5080007]

@LProcker9798 Well the pins you can bend with a flat head screw driver and the bubbles sounds like it's over heating

[Zujfsn]

mine used to work until someone yanked the controller real hard and knocked it off the shelf. What should I check?

[jose5080007]

@Zujfsn can you put up a vid of what your n64 is doing.

[PhantomPhire25]

Sorry, i am new to the N64 but the port that you mentioned at 2:26, the cable that connects to it, is it supposed to have 12 metal "teeth" because mine had only 4. No audio or video from the tv. I think the cable head is dammaged.

[jose5080007]

@PhantomPhire25 Try buying a new cable on ebay that should fix the problem.

[PhantomPhire25]

@jose5080007 yeah i got the thing from e-bay and it looks like its been rather neglected. (Very dusty). On the cleaning parts, any other suggestions besides brasso??? Would a keyboard vaccume work?

[jose5080007]

i rarely see this problem and i have not yet figered a way to fix it yet but im working on it, and ill get back to you as soon as possible.

[measuringstick]

im from the uk and i have an ntsc import, but the colour is too bright. i have tried it on different tv's. is their a problem with the console or could it be because i am usin a uk power supply

[brownfox78]

[soisyourface1234]

[FunnyDeeter]

What is the best/safest way to clean?

[FunnyDeeter]

Just kidding, I found your other video. ^_^

[WiiLicenMann]

i dont really know how it should look like if pins were bend out ,but i can see some pins higher by somehow, might that be the problem?

[jose5080007]

@WiiLicenMann it might be the problem but can u send me a vid of your n64 and what it is doing.

[quadrider971]

HOW THE CRAP DO I GET THE SCREWS OFF THE BOTTOM COVER OF THE N64?

[jose5080007]

@quadrider971 you will need to go on ebay and buy a special screw bit.

[n0ledge]

I dont know what i've done but after a second "big cleaning" my N64 is just perfect i even fixed the joystick with some plastic i've put with a solderin iron. My 64 is just like a brand new :D

[InterDJax10]

Do you have any tips on how to get in and look at the pins? I've cleaned everything and checked all caps and such and I can't find anything wrong with them that I can tell but it still does not work.

[jose5080007]

@InterDJax10 try to open the system up and look at the pin connector some of the pins might be bent in try bending them out. and im going to do another vid soon

[n0ledge]

I've managed to open it and cheked if there really were a pin missing and its not missing i'm out of clue i cant figure why its not working o.O maybe the problem is the TV ? i tried on my 2 LCD TVs and both dont show or play any sound.

no need for the video about the pin thanks anyway :)

[jose5080007]

@n0ledge make sure that the pins make contact with the cartridge, the pins might look like there touching , but there not touching the cartridge so try bending the pins out a little.

[jose5080007]

@n0ledge ill do another vid on that tomorrow

[n0ledge]

how do I open it o.O I reached some screws with a pair of longnose but i cant unscrew 2 of em any tips?

[jose5080007]

@n0ledge you can find the screw bit on ebay for like 99 cents

[jose5080007]

if you guys liked this vid subscribe to me and ill put up more vids on how to fix all

kinds of game systems.

[eqlzero]

My n64 have the same problem because it fell off by an earthquake and it doesn't work any more

You think that should fix it?

[jose5080007]

@eqlzero it should!!
