  1. Did you not power it on with your own PSU before replacing the chip? his PSU might have gone pop! Also why not just use a little low melt solder to remove the Chip 🙂

  2. This brings back memories when i picked up a nintendo 64 with 3 controllers that wasn't working, console powered on but game carts were not working, only paid $40-$50 for it, Got it home and gave the game cart slot a good clean up, Chucked a game in and hey presto got a working n64 for half the price of what they were selling for

  3. 4:14 the top left pin 3 from left looks bad may need to be replaced right side 4th pin left needs to be checked those pins could be the cause of a pop if they are fried or hit by a light strike ah those ol zelda days😂

  4. I have soldered prototype PCB's by hand for over 30 years. I use charcoal lighter fluid to clean the PCB's. It dissolves and loosens the flux 1000 times better than rubbing alcohol. Leaves the PCB spotless.

  5. N64 is in a weird spot. Many N64 games don't emulate well. But there haven't been many, if really any, successful clone consoles yet. Like, if you want to play NES or SNES or Gensis or really anything 16bit and earlier, you have a GLUT of options that are almost all better than original hardware. From emulation to clone FPGA consoles. But PS1/N64 era don't have those options yet. Emulation or original hardware are pretty much it.

    And frankly, running ANYTHING over composite on a modern TV looks like absolute TRASH.

  6. $200 for a HDMI repair!? Man… I'm glad you're sharing these videos. Ye sure, for some people they'd be paying around that just for the equipment, but there's other ways to use such equipment like finding a maker space or asking someone who's a hobbyist in electronics.

  7. Power supply is one of the most common failure points on N64s. First thing to check, every time. While the inside was definitely a little crusty, it's much more likely that the "pop" from the former owner was the PSU dying. The later-replaced chip looked fine after the quick clean-up.
