So While I was working on Nintentron 64, I was in the process of testing out my new batteries, when something strange happened.
I was using a perfectly working, un touched rev-04 board. I plugged it in via the wall, and TV, worked perfectly.
I wired up the batteries(which worked fine on my rev-05.) only to find that it would not power it. Checked the 3.3v, and sure enough it wasn't outputting more than .4 volts..And I checked the batteries themselves, which read a small 1.xxx volts. strange. I disconnected the hot and ground wires from the reg, and they jumped back up to the normal 7.4v, reconnected everything and the Rev-04's LED came on.
So I tried to hook it up to the TV to test it, nothing. Tried many carts and jumper paks, nothing. Then the reg was gingivitus-inviting up again, so I assumed it was gone. Ordered a new reg, and got it in today, wire it up to the rev-05, nothing works.
Now for the strange part, I hook it up to the rev-04, and plug it into the TV, I get no video, but I get clear L+R audio. Keep in mind all the plugs are still intact, and I am using the stock ninty cord. Tried several cords and TVs, same just audio. Disconnected the battery and tried the same with the wall plug, same thing.
TL:DR : Strange new problem with N64's only outputting audio.
So any Ideas? advice? anything similar ever happen to your N64s?

New low.
I'd shoop, but you people all know how that would end up... At least 80% of /g/ acts better than you do. Burn

I didn't even think of that! Thanks XCVG! It was the 7805. For some reason it was long gone. Works great now! EDIT: I'm not changing this post.  _________________

Nice, I didn't even know that before hand that the 7805 controlled video.
We need a facts list.
