AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND PROBLEM:

Relocated cart slot twice, doesn't work, but I'm pretty sure it's not fried. There are no shorts, everything is perfectly jointed, etc. I honestly don't know what to do here, unless I need to ground the shielding?

Re: Bush's N64 Commission for Neild

GO AMERICA PLINK YEAH!!!!

I took a breather from frustrating myself, and remembered that on the first attempt, i had soldered to one of the pins on the bottom because one of the wires came loose on top and I couldnt get a god angle to solder it on. Well, I never removed all the solder before the second try, and that was the very problem. The solder blob was touching one of the ground pins. I must say Tchay, that your advice makes complete sense.

Re: Bush's N64 Commission for Neild

If your soldering angle is not God, your portablez will not work.

Well maybe you can help again: I'm getting some sort of interference on the screen and a high pitched noise from the screen's board. It also turns off when I input audio. It isn't interlacing, It moves in a wave diagonally across the screen. I grounded everything. I think the DVD board doesn't like the N64 drawing power from it, as I have power going battery-DVD player-N64. I'll try battery-dvd and battery-n64, although I dont see why it would make a difference. It also has an S-video input, which is ideal, but that doesn't work either. Its wired properly and all, maybe the DVD board only outputs S-video and inputs composite.

Re: Bush's N64 Commission for Neild

Well, the screen went and screwed itself. It no longer even displays a complete picture, and turns on and off every 5 seconds. Im talking to Neild to see if he wants me to use a psone screen.

 

[Bush]

Re: Bush's N64 Commission for Neild

More problems; I hooked up the psone screen, and everything worked fine, but somehow I ended up touching the 100v backlight thing and shocked myself silly. Afterward, I couldn't get the screen to display the n64. Its not fried, I did the RCP test. I have no clue what to even try, can someone please help me?
