    I don't have any guesses on what's wrong, but I did just want to say thank you for your content. It was a rough weekend, but I'm spending my evening binge watching your stuff and it's really helped relax me and help me calm down.

    For me just replacing the jumper pack resolved my issue, There are aftermarket jumper pack on Amazon for about 10-11$, for some reason the jumper pack turn bad on n64, I reasearch a lot but no one seemed to mention this fix, a lot said to clean it and reinstall it but sometimes it can fix, but sometimes the jumper pack is just bad.

    Had a similar symptom on mine. I put some flux around the flat pack ICs and reflowed some solder and it sprang back to life.

    DK64 requires, and came with (at least in North America) with the expansion pack. You removed the jumper pack with a spoon (yes, really, if you don't have the special tool) and inserted the expansion pack.

      Just using the expansion pak cover itself is easier just put the corner in the top edge and push down

    Just had a problem with no signal. All I needed to do was to clean the connector and game cartridges' pins.

    Looks like there's been some kind of barbecue around the U10 marking. Three traces seems to be gone. Maybe leading to pins 55, 56, 57 on the CPU.

      I did inspect that one and it's just some black ink. But you are looking at the right side of the board, just wrong area 😉

    I had no audio on one of my n64's and it was simply a capacitor that needed replacing.

    13:01 I am getting 24v here, and everything is double like 3.5v is 7v and 5v is 10v, what could it be if font is OK (I got 2 n64 and 2 fonts to test) ?

    • @TheRetroChannel
      @TheRetroChannel  2 года назад +1

      Oh that's very strange, are you checking the voltages with both a cartridge and expansion/jumper Pak installed? I've found the voltages will be quite different with both of those removed. BTW, an easy place to check the voltages is on the 2 SMD capacitors on the top side of the board near the power jack

      If it's working with the other N64 then it should be ok I guess. Sounds like there's an issue with the measurements as if the N64 was indeed receiving double the voltage it surely wouldn't work

    You'd think friends when giving you stuff for them to service, would make at least a slight effort of wiping it down? But it somehow never happens.
