Thanks Duhaast

Also can anyone offer advise as to whether I should be using the fan to blow air onto the board or mount it so that it is blowing through the top vents and in effect sucking fresh air in through the sides and pushing hot air out through the top?

So the project got put on the back burner a little however all of the wiring is now finished other than an on/off switch. The board was toast so used another one. http://th07.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2 ... 85cuzf.jpg I need to do a little more case work to install the RCA out into the back of...

Thanks Bush, will have to give this a try tonight

So I did a bit of reading and the plug I bought as 'regulated' obviously was not. I am going to pick up a regulated 7VDC adapter as that should be enough to power the N64 I believe

So the 12v 800ma power adapter I bought seems to be putting out 15V!! I took readings after I powered on the system and everything was reading 15.77V so I am assuming the board is completely fried and fit only for the bin unless someone can tell me any different? Everything was reading 15.77V...

I needed to take it apart for painting and also to splice in an extension cable so thought...

Its entirely possible to get the clip apart: You need to be willing to cut the original wire though, I cut mine to splice in an extension so not an issue. You will need: Old credit card - Cut into slim strips small enough to fit in the little holes Picture hanging hook pins/nails (Small...

Thanks people, I am going to try and get the majority of the case work finished this weekend and maybe pick up some heat sinks and a fan to keep things cool. Only downfall is that there is still snow outside so too cold to paint and get a good finish.. :wtf:

Hi all, I am a serial modder of everything and have recently turned my attention to one of my favourite platforms of all time.. the N64. Here's a link to a gallery of most of my previous and current projects: http://sexualcastles.deviantart.com/gallery/ My first 'modded' N64 was for a friend...
