i have 3 Nintendo's (original not super or 64)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

they all stopped working

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when i turn it on the tv does that "popping" thing like it is picking up a signal but nothing happens

 

 

 

the screen is blank

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i found a key in one(yes a real metal key, like to a door)

 

 

 

no idea were that came from

 

 

 

maybe it damaged something?

 

 

 

but the other 2 still don't work

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

any idea how to fix it?

over 15 year old hardware inside those things(A KEY???)...they are just old...prolly not a lot you can do about it.

:cry: :cry: :cry: i wanna play Super Mario Bros.

 

 

 

lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ya a key...

 

 

 

just went to see if anything was burn out or dusty and there was a key in there...???

1. check contact pins and slot connector to make sure they are not bent or anything

 

 

 

2. check to make everything is clean(contact pins and slot connector)

 

 

 

3. try to get it to work

 

 

 

4. if that doesn't work then it has possibly corroded(or something else)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I might be wrong on something though.

I used to give my old n 64 a good ol' blow and it would work. SOMtimes it would give me a green screen though

try using a diffrent cord (one that goes in the back of your tv) sometimes that burns out :P

that usually happens the first few tries with not-so-good nintendos. i depends on the game if it will work. the first thing to do would be to blow out all the dust in the game, and the slot where you put it in. then turn it on, and wait for like 5 pulses. then hit reset. and keep trying that for like a minute. if that doesn't work, i dont know what to say.

Get ready for a lot of blowing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:lol:

:lol:

 

 

 

Ha! I was so in the habit of doing that, that when I got my Xbox I still routinely did it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On-Topic: Blowing into it sometimes works, or take a vacuum to it, it may just be dust.

i did that already...

 

 

 

but now a pink or red screen comes up instead of black....

I have a tv that old aswell and the same thing happened to me. Just a loud pop and no more tv :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But we got an excuse to get a nice new one :

i have one of the origionals and the problem is that the mechanism that holds the cartrage in gets messed up over time and doesent hold the cartrage in. try shoving a case or somthing like that in on top of the pushed down cartrage and it should work. that is what happened to mine (thats why they swiched to top loaders after the origional)
