Hey guys, hoping someone can give me some quick help.
I've recently decided to continue a portable n64 that I stopped working on over 3 years ago and I have what I hope is a simple question:
I'm trying to figure out if my N64 board is dead or not. The light comes on but I have no video output and the audio output is just a buzz. I measured the audio output with a multimeter and the voltage is fluctuating like there's sound, but I don't hear anything. I have an old RCA cable wired to the board contacts, I'm not using the nintendo connector anymore because it's cut off of the board.
Is there a specific set of requirements before the board is guaranteed to output sound or video? For example grounding requirements? I noticed in the popular bacman wiring diagram he said the video output also needs to be grounded on the side of the board - is that true?
What's a good way to test if the board is dead or not if you can't get video output?
Thanks
