Just bought an N64 at a yard sale. Dude plugged it in and showed me that it worked. When it got home it didnt read any of my old cartridges and even stopped reading the game that came with the N64 and the dude just used to show me that it worked. Was so confused on why it just randomly stopped working. Cleaned the games and cleaned the inside on N64 with a Q tip; thinking that's it's all it needed to be done to clean it. Came across your video and immediately tried it. Problem Solved. Thank you very much :D

You are a life saver! After having lost my N64 in a bad break-up 11 years ago, I was without one until today, when one I ordered from eBay came in the mail. Much to my dismay, it wasn't reading games at all. Tried the solution proposed in this video, and it worked! My new N64 actually loads games now! Thanks a ton!

Just found this on Reddit and got our old N64 back up and running. Thanks!

three years later brother and your still keeping our consoles alive!!! thank you!

Some of my games flicker and others don't. I have done the cleaning with isopropyl alcohol thing on the cartridges themselves. Seems strange that only some games are affected.

IT WORKED! Dear God, I was hopeless thinking I would need to open up my N64 but that wasn't needed at all with this easy solution LOL

It worked, thank you so much! My N64 has been in a box for 10 years.

It WORKED! Thank you so much, subscription well earned!

Nes days they use to sell a tool with a fabric head(like a thin ,wide flat qtip) to rub the pins

It worked! I tried so many other videos with no success! Thanks!

If this doesnt work the first time is it worth trying again?

You are a life saver. My n64 was the blue no signal screen but after this method I got it reading the game but now the screen is just flickering like crazy. Should I just persevere with this method or do you think it may be something else like the Hdmi adaptor? Rest of the console is clean, sound is perfect just flickering. The hdmi adapter works fine for the gamecube.

I did this same method wit nail polish and got it to start working thanks

Still nothing for me. So I did all the steps and it still didn’t come on. I think my n64 game is fried and I need a new one.

I did this, and now I can play Nagano 98. My other game, Diddey Kong Racing, does however still flicker. Any idea why? Could it be because of the memory pak or HDMI-adapter? Can I be certain that the cartridge and nintendo is cleaned good enough, when Nagano 98 works?

Didn't work :/ still getting a blue screen.

mine still says no signal... what do you recommend? tried with different games and cables

Thanks man worked right away I wasn’t expecting that thanks

Awesome thank you! Would this work with other pin based consoles like the SNES, Mega Drive etc?

It’s fine to use that technique but you have to let it dry because it will corrode the pins if you don’t let it dry! Trust me I fried my SNES doing that same technique!

The alcohol that I have is 99%. Is that the same as yours and is it safe to use on electronics?

Great work!

Would this work with say like an old gameboy color?

Dude!!!!! Thank You Soooo Much Appreciate It 100%

Wow that worked! I thought I had two faulty N64 consoles hahaha

If a still problem or maybe fault cable

Hello it did not work

Any advice on what to do if the screen turns green and fades to black? I tried your method and cleaning underneath the slot but still the same thing..

Mine cuts on but the screen turns grey and it goes in and out for a few seconds then the screen stays blue but i hear sound what could that be

Yourenthe absolute champ......Worked

So I have a question. I got mairo party 2 for the 64 and it loads up fine. I pick a world fine. Picking time and characters fine but once it gets to that white screen it just freezes there I got it to work once but Im not even sure how it worked. Can you offer any suggestions how I can fix that problem ? Thanks in advance.

My N64 works with 2 games perfectly on a new Samsung HDTV. But 2 games work but are unplayable as there is a constant flickering and lines down the screen. Tried blowing cartridge and N64 but don’t work. Bought the 2 games again and same issue. Any ideas on why this is happening? Thanks

Ty

F***ing works!!!! Thanks man sooo much

You saved me!!!!!!!

🤙🤙

Thanks for the tip.
