symptoms of a sleeping board?
Moderator:Moderators
The N64 does not output ANY AV signals, not even the flicker when I turn it on. I checked and rechecked the connection because even my fried board makes the screen jump when turning it on. I checked the 7805 on the board and discovered there is no voltage entering or leaving it. I'm guessing this is why the AV is not working. I'm inputting 9 volts and 3.3 volts into the correct areas with an adapter rated for up to 2.2 amps. How come the power is not going to all the board? Has this happened to anyone else?
nope... can't think of anything I could possibly want to put in my Signature Block...

Well, it hasn't happened to me. If the RED light is turning on, then its not sleeping. Is it connected to a screen or tv. also, even though the n64 will run off of 9 volts, try plugging in the original power supply. Basicly what I'm saying, is that you should check to see if everything runs without batterys or screen, but on the original cables. If it doesn't, then try checking the game. if you rewired cart slot check that, check expansion/jumper pack, check for ANY solder joints that may be touching, even on the green stuff, and, check the tv/screen. Thats all you can do, I think. Maybe the 7805 is bad

The red led doesn't work on a dead N64? If so, then my N64 is still alive.ShockSlayer wrote:--The following is all I know of that could be errors---

I don't think the 7805 is bad as no voltage is being inputed to it. the board itself wont give it juice. The red light does come on so it may be toast like you said. I'm going to check the fuses to see if any are blown

Well i figured out what the problem was. My AV connections were touching so i tried it out outside the case and it worked fine. when i put it back in the case i could not get it to boot a cartridge. the screen flickered green like it is suppost to but no amount of fiddling with the cartridge connections worked. tomarrow im going to remove them and put them back in their holes. maby some poped out a little bit and arnt connecting. That would explain why the fiddling dident work
