is the metal shroud hot?

i was disassembling my N64 and noticed that the metal around the cartridge socket is connected to the motherboard, along with the memory socket on both the controller and the motherboard. are these live? would not connecting them correctly or at all destroy my system? please help

They aren't live they are connected to ground.

It's pretty hard to break something by not connecting leads

not when you do not plug in the CPU fan... ask me why i bought an ABIT IS-7G after I already bought a P4 IBMS motherboard...

do i need to connect the gnd? or can i leave it unconnected?

electricity has to flow in a complete circuit.

is the metal shroud hot?

No, I think it's kinda homely.

I don't have an n64, but I have seen them in Gamestop. I just need to get to know it better.

you should, she's well grounded (get it?

) in reality and very nice... and you can take it off very easily

This joke is second only to the U.A. Xbox vortex thing! This was too good for a regular ":lol:"!

Seriously, as long as everything makes a complete circuit there should be no problems. By contrast, as long as nothing makes a short-circuit then there should be no problems.[/img]

WOW! This is like a giant metaphorical pun. Now for the metaphor that I wrote in english just before my teacher took my paper and read it to the entire class: I am a TV, turn me on and I will give you a show. And a better one that I just thought of: I am an N64, put my plug in the socket, and I will entertain you all night

Yea, back on topic. I think that the shrouding is connected to ground, and is basically like RF shielding.
