EverDrive 64 / Did my N64 die ?
« on: March 03, 2018, 07:25 PM »
I played with my N64 for about six months before I had to put it back in the box to move out. I decided to take it out again after moving about two weeks ago and it doesn't turn on anymore (no red light). I tried everything:
One thing to note is that sometimes (albeit rarely, happened 4-5 times total) the red light turns on for 2 seconds before turning off again.
Should I just buy another psu ? (3rd party or original on ebay ?) The system worked perfectly during those 6 months.
- Switching between the Expansion and Jumper Paks
- Using a SCART adapter instead of plugging the composite cables in directly
- Opening up my ED64 to see if somehow got damaged while i was moving everything (doesn't seem to be the case)
- Reseated the PSU
- Power-cycling the machine
- Trying different TVs and outlets
- Opening both the machine and the PSU to look inside (doesn't seem to be any damage but i couldn't remove the huge metal shielding in the unit)
