Alright. I ordered some of the special screwdrivers off eBay and when they came I opened my case. I then took out a few screws, left them out for a few days and now tried to put it all back together and it will not turn on! Please help me!

I've tried it with jumper or expansion pack, with or without a cartridge, and with or without a controller plugged in but it just won't work! I'm really confused because I never even really took anything apart, I just don't get why it won't work!

Does the power LED come on? Try putting the jumper/expansion pak in, turn it on for 5 seconds (no game in it), then put a game in and try. If it still doesn't work, try the same thing in a couple days.

Yeah, the LED won't turn on at all. I don't have it plugged into a TV though so it just might be not working.

Have you tried it again in the last 24 hours or so because when you do something the n64 doesn't like/accept it trips the breaker inside the power brick and it resets in 24 hours, it happened to me before and I almost through it away thinking it got fried!

I think we should check to see if you can withstand 220 volts

It shows no signs of turning on still. Anybody ever encountered this before?

Sounds like you probably bricked it. Could be the power supply too, but I wouldn't count on it ever turning on again. Happens sometimes. These are 10+ year old machines remember, and N64 have never been the most stable platform anyway.

Update! I fiddled with it more today, and I noticed that when you plug/unplug the A/V cable is makes a static-y noise like the sound is working but video is not.

Sounds like a bridge, did you do any soldering? Is their any material on the contacts of your exp pack that could be bridging something?

I didn't touch the insides, other than taking out screws.
But it doesn't matter! I left it unplugged for a couple days and just tried it again and it WORKED!

Then it was the power supply that jumped itself.
