Hi all, N64 is giving me a no signal message on my Samsung TV. The power red light is on. The same AV cable works on the GameCube. I’ve tried removing Expansion Pack and different cartridges. The console has worked in the past years (not played in the past 3) Should I buy a SCART adaptor? What else can I do to make it work? Update (12/31/2017) Fixed it, maybe. I extracted the Expansion Pack again, inserted the old pack, then inserted the Expansion Pack once more and it works. Though now it does not detect controllers in port 1.
Hi @felmaloney , Apologies, I meant that the cartridge slot contacts should be cleaned and also the cartridge contacts as well if they are easy top get at Here is a link How to clean the Nintendo 64 cartridge slot. Oxidization of the metal contacts would have occurred over the 3 years that the game was not used and the rubbing action on the contacts in the cartridge slot by inserting and removing them has cleaned it a bit but not enough to ensure that they are properly clean and making for a good connection.
Hi @billie365 , Did you get something like this or did you get one like this The first type doesn’t work as it doesn’t convert the analogue AV signals into the required digital HDMI signals. The second type is a converter which does.
