The Nintendo 64 is a system that generally doesn't have a lot of issues since it doesn't have any moving parts inside, but they still pop up broken on eBay. Today I wanted to take a look at one that was listed as broken, but it turned out to be the easiest fix for me so far.

My Favorite repair of all time was the time I bought a Gamecube that allegedly had "no working ports". When i got it my tests confirmed this, but after closer inspection it was simply stuffed full of lego people hands in every port. Good times.

My favourite repair: Sega Master System 2 (SMS) non-working, from a lot with equally (not really) defective consoles (the Game Gear even had new caps). The antenna cable had snapped right at the connector, the connector was still stuck in the socket. I used some pliers to pull it out, console worked fine.

I bought 2 Gamecube consoles for $40. They said the eject button is stuck. That was the easiest console I have to fix. Just open the console and clear/clean the eject button. Problem fixed and in good working conditions. I also cleaned out the fan and other dust/debris inside the console.

I used to fix broken Sega CDs from eBay in 1999-2002. Usually was just a fuse (f301). It was a nice little hustle until a bunch of other people started doing the same thing. I paid the majority of my college tuition once thanks to Sega. I miss those days.

"Repairing" Console is fun and all, but i have the feeling that today more and more ppl pay "to much" even for actual broken consoles. Not sure it's because it's getting popular on YT (not just this Channel) or more ppl "think" they can fix a console. Maybe it's just me, but let say the N64 was broken to a point that even a missing Jumper Pak is not the reason. And 25$ for that (+shipping) seems expensive to me. Here in germany you pay around 35€ for a working N64 with Cables ect. (+shipping) so for me, "saving" 10€ (or $) to risk buying a maybe a truly broken console, seems not like a good bargain hunt. Or maybe i just miss the times, where you actually just spend around 10-20% worth of a console that is broken. So yeah, a console "fixed" (even nothing was broken) but there was not much costs saving, specialy you need a separate jumper pak, so it can work (more costs) Well i just do the math, but maybe this video got already enough monetize commercial(an i don't mean this in a bad way, it's how YT works), so the Console was already "free" anyway :P

I got lucky on ebay once. A Gamecube, several controllers, all cables, several first party black and grey memory cards, gameboy player, almost all of the greatest games on it (even Wind Waker Limited Edition, all Resident Evils and 2 still sealed,...), a free-loader, some import games that were never released in Europe, some GBA cartridges,... For €300. I gave the system and most games to my younger sister with whom I used to play Gamecube games a lot back in the day, updated my own collection, swapped all the better condition manuals and boxes and inlays, sold some of the double games that my sister wouldn't have wanted, at prices about half the average ebay prices, and still made a small profit. So it was a great upgrade for my collection, a great birthday present for my sister, a good deal for some people just looking for certain games, and a small profit for me. I'm now wondering why someone who had all that, imported games included, got rid of it so cheap... I really hope they weren't in trouble, and that if they were, the sale price covered their trouble. I didn't think of it at that time.

The only console repair I've done, not really a repair but more of a rebooting method, was with an old xbox 360 arcade console. It had the red light of death, 1 ring I believe, maybe 2, I can't remember it's been so long. I put in a cotton pick or whatever you call those things into the vent where the fans were (half of the pick) and after some time, the system lit up green and came back to life. I then had a PS3 yellow light of death later on but I was able to return it and get a replacement.

About three years ago, I got a dirty, dusty SCPH-7501 PS1 with a Dualshock 1 controller for about $5 in a flea market. There was no box, no AV cables nor power cables. Just the console and a controller. It was a gamble for me at the time, because that particular flea market isn't known for selling perfect working devices all the time. But the gamble paid off quite well. All it needed was a little cleanse-up and the cables, which costed me about $3. I already had some PS1 games to play on my PS2, so it was good to go. The best part of it is that it's chip-modded, so it can play burned back-ups. It wasn't the best gaming bargain I've had in my life but it surely has been the cheapest I've ever had so far.

One of the reasons why I love watching your videos I because you like to take things apart and see what's wrong with them. But at least you know how it all goes back together. When I was a kid and this was back in the 80s, I loved taking apart like transistor radios and cassette decks, but after doing so, I could not for the life of me put it back together and would then always get yelled at by my parents asking me if it was broke and I'd say no then they'd say why take it apart if it's not broke, don't try to fix something if it's not broke! But I never learned my lesson because as with most kids, tell them not to do something they will just do that thing more. And I was one of those kids.

I would estimate 90% of the consoles from the Nintendo 64 era back to the old Atari 2600's that I have worked on that were claimed as not working in some way simply required a good cleaning or very minor part replacement, like in this video. Most of the remaining 10% required something fairly easy like replacing capacitors, led light, or resoldering loose connections. These old consoles unless they were just absolutely abused are pretty darn robust!

So yeah. I never would have known about that. I never had a Nintendo 64, so I had zero knowledge of the Jumper Pak. I'd heard of the Expansion pack, of course, but I didn't know that if you didn't have one, you had to have the jumper pak in there for the console to function.

I'm surprised N64s break in the first place. There really isn't much to go wrong with them. Mine has a stuck Reset button but it still works.

I have gotten incredibly lucky buying gaming equipment from an unofficial Amazon return store in my hometown. I bought a retroflag GPI case for 20$ because it didn't work (they never bought or installed a Pi Zero) and last week a Radeon 5700xt for 20$ that had been returned as defective (bent IO plate). I didn't buy either thing to flip but if I had it would have definitely made me a decent chunk of change. I ultimately came out ahead because I sold my old graphics card for 100$.

Had a coworker who spent his office hours selling stuff on eBay. Sold a lot of retro consoles and games though he had no clue about them whatsoever. For example he once sold mega man x thinking it was mega man 10 in his listing. I would not be surprised in slightest if he was the one who sold this to you

A girl sold me her og purple GBA with Pokémon Gold and Donkey Kong for $30. This was like less than a year after it was released. She said she already had one and didn't need another one. She also said she had the GBA for less than a month. Best deal ever.

Is it literally a jumper pack? Meaning I could just complete the circuit with a paperclip, and it would work?
@BonsonPylon
@BonsonPylon 2 года назад
No. Jumper pak has 2mb ram, expansion pak has 4mb ram, paperclip has 0 ram

My NES had had the IRQ line cut and a wire used to reconnect it. They didn’t didn’t realise they cut the next track, so I added another wire to fix it and it works like a new one. Lol. Scored it at a thrift store for $AUD8.

It's a NUS-CPU-03 Motherboard, that means you can easily mod it for RGB and you already have C-Sync on the AV-Port. That alone makes it a little more valuable.

Every n64 came with at least a jumper pack, why are people removing them and losing them? Are people trying to sell them separately I don't understand that...

I've recently bought a working N64 (with power supply and a gamepad) for under 25 euro - from the previous owner, at a local marketplace. Aaaaand I've got another (main unit without PSU, with a soccer game) for about 13 euro. Now I've got three N64 consoles :)

You can normally get an idea from what the seller is selling... If the seller is selling a lot of video games or video game gear, odds are your going to have problems with it as its' a real problem. If it's a seller selling random stuff, so they might be selling a few video game things out of 50 or 100 random things(meaning they just buy bulk things), then you have a MUCH better shot of getting good things. It's how I shop for retro game systems on eBay and I have had luck this way..

I think my favorite story like this happened a couple months ago, someone sold a DS Lite as for parts because they "couldn't get past the download screen", I still gave it a good cleaning but naturally the first thing I did was test download play (normally wouldn't even be a test but come on it was too funny to not). Almost felt bad for having that as a repair flip lol

Hey, Spawnwave, I wanted to mention that I bought a ps4 slim that overheated for $100. Turns out it was just a fan problem which I easily replaced. I have started to play some games that my brother's friend gameshared to me. It's really fun playing Persona 5 Royal and some other games he gameshared.

I recently scored a near mint 60gb PS3 with the warranty sticker still intact on ebay for $150 because it would not read PS2 games, but would read PS1 and PS3 games just fine. I took a chance on it because I had a theory on what it might be. When I got it, I immediately inserted a blue PS2 game disc and it worked fine, yay! Then I put in a standard DVD movie and it did not do anything. So my theory was correct, turns out the red laser burned out for some reason, I replaced the laser assembly for $50 and basically got a mint fat PS3 for $200. Since it was never opened either, I took it apart, delidded the chips, replaced the power supply, and hopefully it doesn't die.

I didn't know it needed it until my friend told me about he needed the expansion pack to play Majora's Mask because the original jumperpack didn't have enough memory. Inshorts the Nintendo 64 has expandable memory I had some games actually do need that
