My N64 hasn’t been turned on in a while, when I did try it the light turns on. After turning it off and on a few times, one of those times it turned on for minute with the game on screen, then turned off. This was the only time it turned on as of recent. Any ideas?
Considering the age, I would start by checking the capacitors out. I found a forum where a user painstakingly created a schematic for board versions 03 and 04 http://www.acidmods.com/RDC/NINTENDO/N64… List of capacitors https://console5.com/wiki/N64
Turn it on with no game in it. put the game in with it on. turn it off and on again.
I kinda have the same problem.. sadly i still haven’t solved it. Hope we can work it out :\
No video, audio works, half FPS
try cleaning the game pins with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab use 70% to 100% also make the swab damp not soaked then dry it with the other end of the swab
