So here is my story: I just recently bought an N64 from a yard sale. Since I just had the 64 and no games, I had my friend over at my house and he brought his SM64 game. We played it on my 42" screen, and it worked fine. I just plugged it in to the outlet and TV and turned it on, and nothing irregular happened. However, a few days after, I went to vacation for 3 weeks in California and Hawaii. The day before I left, I had ordered my own Super Mario 64 cartridge so it would be there when I got back. When I got back to the house, I immediately opened my package and went to try it on my 64. I had it unplugged over vacation, so I got it and plugged it in and then into the TV. I eagerly put the cartridge in, flipped on the power switch, and........ it doesn't turn on. After a few minutes of frustrated plugging in and unplugging, I finally got the power LED to light up for a disappointing half of a second.
Does anybody know why this has happened? Is it because of dust or something? As always, comments, tips and criticism greatly appreciated!
BTW do you guys have any emoticons? Or is it because I just started my account?
Edit: Oh sorry, they don't show up in the editing process.
it could be many things..... but my bet is on a problem in the power cable there might be a point where it "broke" so only in certain positions it'll work...
it could be dust but to me it feels unreal to get such a level of this effect just because of dust....
you should try to find a replacement for the power cables, probably......

Well, right now I just don't feel like blowing $60 on an NES, though I would love to play one. I just might as well get my N64 working since I paid money for it and can't get a refund.
Hey guys, I have another problem. I just got a new TV to use my n64 with, and of course the n64 stops working. When I plug the N64 in and turn it on, the TV doesn't receive a signal and the power button just flashes rapidly. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!
Is your N64 working again? Is the problem only with this new TV? The composite jacks on the back of the TV could be bad...

Also check the troubleshooting guide in your TV's manual and see if that says anything enlightening.

Oh, the TV is fine, I tried it with a Wii and a VCR player and it worked fine. I also tried it on the TV that it definitely worked with before and I'm getting no signal.. :/
