Powering on?

[I am Noah]

Hey! Got my battery's wired up. Only problem is when I flick the switch nothing happens. Did I do something wrong?

Indicator says there good.

To ac and charge ports

Dpdt switch

To console.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Did you check to see if your Cart slot rewire worked before wiring up the battery? Does the red light turn on on the n64?

The light doesn't turneed on, but I did previously test it. There is no indication of any shorts...

What is your battery voltage and amperage? make sure it isn't too high or too low. Also check you cartridge leads to see if they're all soldered correctly.

What amperage would be considered too high?
I'm using 2 3.7v batteries

Amperage really can't be too high, unless there's a short somewhere on the board.
Also how many bloody Noahs does this site need?

Alot

I still don't really understand what's wrong with my wiring. Ivery tripple checked the battery wiring, power wiring, and the cart slot wiring. Still, I gots nothing

Grab a multimeter, set it to volts, and connect positive to the N64 12V line and negative to the N64 GND line. What reading do you get? Do the same for the 3.3V line.

thing is... I don't have one. Is there any way around without a multimeter?
First time modder
Thanks!

You're gonna have a lot of trouble finding bad wiring without a multimeter. Get one.

I second that, not having a multimeter would be like the mechanic asking where your dipstick was. You also cannot be 100% sure your wiring is even worth a Dang without a way to check.

Just got my multimeter. So which side do I turn the knob to? Lol I know I sound like a noob, but I switched it to the bottom, the 200 tab, and got a reading of "1970"(lol I have no idea what I'm doing)
Any help is greatly appreciated! Here's the link to the multimeter

You just measured a resistance value . You have to turn the knob to the DC voltage reader (upper left area). Start at 600, then go down one unit at a time until you get a reading. Do not start at a low range as you might fry your multimeter. As a beginner you should've bought an automatic range multimeter...

Lol thanks!
For 3.3 I got .002
For 12v, I got 3.28

Ok, so the 3.3v line should read 3.3v and the 12v line should read 12v. You seem to have wired 3.3v to the 12v line.

 

[I am Noah]

I wired it up like this

Left is 3.3 and right is 12v

You're gonna have to get a multimeter.
