Broken N64

Bought an N64 a week or two ago just for a laugh, been playing Mario etc. Went to turn it on today and the damn thing does nothing, no power or anything. Changed the fuse in the plug but still no joy, and have tried various power sockets. Anything else I can change, or has it just died?

Bad luck

Can always try getting your hands on another power supply.

Id just buy another they are worth peanuts on there own with no games.

You could sell the other one as 'untested' on ebay if you have relaxed morals.

Hmm, not sure what to buy first! Is it more likely that the power supply is fubared or the console itself?

Ring Nintendo see if the warranty is still running on it they might swap it for you

I think the N64, SNES and GC all use the same power adapter you perhaps yu could borrow one to test the console?

It'd be worth asking just to see what the response would be

I have a SNES somewhere but I think the power lead is quite different unfortunately

The nes, snes and 64 etc use the same leads to go to your tv but im positive that the power leads are different!
