Pinout for CN601 on the motherboards.. VA0 1 - GND 2 - 5v 3 - 5v 4 - 5v 5 - GND 6 - A0 7 - B0 8 - GND 9 - A1 10 - B1 11 - GND 12 - A2 13 - B3 14 - GND 15 - A3 16 - B3 17 - GND 18 - LED 19 - Batt VCC (for charging batt) 20 - Batt VCC VA1 and VA2.1 1 - LED 2 - Batt VCC 3 - A0 4 - B0 5 - GND 6...

There are 36 on the RAM pak also, they are just staggered. Odds are on the top row, evens are the bottom, so you have the wires on the even, 2~36, in that pic.

The PIC and config jumpers are on the bottom of the board. It does the Analog to Encoder converting and setup. It can be setup to use the typical 10k POT style sticks, Sliders or the original N64 Stick if one were to choose, hence why it's labeled the way it is. XA/X and XB/Y are used for the...

Are you 100% sure the relay is bad? They're not bulletproof, but as far as components go they are one component that is farther down the fail point list, depending on the things application that is. You can gently scrape the conformal coating away first, but in most cases the soldering iron...

DigiKey, Mouser, and any number of other online parts houses are where you can find them. You should always use a higher voltage rating Capacitor than your supply voltage. The 2 Lipo cells in series typically used for the power source are only going to get up to around 8.4v when charging, so...

If I make a new PCB, then the second RAM chip and/or termination Resistors will just be installed on that board. There's no real reason to have a jumper pak at all as it will only add to the limits of how a new PCB could be used as you'd have to deal with having that connector in a somewhat...

Not sure where else the schematic is supposed to go? Aside from getting all of the SMT decoupling values, which is a tedious and time consuming task, the schematic is complete. There aren't too many shapes that the PCB can be and still have the room needed for everything. I started on a new...

It was not done with Eagle, the interface should have given that much away. ;) It was done in DipTrace. The latest PDF of the schematic for the 03/04 can be downloaded from here now. https://mega.co.nz/#!W9MkiYiY!kPvB72ffM ... wgkYyx8hSg

You wont get an accurate measurement with the average DMM on Capacitors, unless it has a Capacitance setting, and even then they need to be out of circuit or unloaded to get a good reading. As long as they don't measure shorted (use the Ohms setting and check them both ways) then they're most...

The unmarked parts are Capacitors. It would also take only 1 bad solder joint, trace etch or via (the plated holes that connect the top and bottom traces together) during the PCB fabrication for the entire thing to not work correctly. Like Blargaman91 says also, if that FFC has any broken...

Welcome, but I guarantee it will work without it also. ;)

Make sure that no bits of the Cap are left over, as they sometimes can cause a short. It will work exactly the same with nothing there at all.

C110 is 1 of the 5 decoupling caps that are on the 5v rail. The N64 will never miss it, but if you want to replace it, use something around 0.1uF, 0603 size and rated for 10v or more.

No, you did say it was your website though, and there's no mention of where this or that info on there came from, so anyone looking at your site is supposed to assume what? You gave credit for where the image/info came from, and that's all there was to it, didn't kill you to add that in there...
