Make sure your cables are tight... take a q-tip with a little rubbing alchol and apply to game cartidge and inside the N64 where the cartridge fits in... wait until it drys (only about 5 minutes) and then try it. Sounds like it's just dirty:)

All might so I was playing perfect dark after 1 minute the screen went to a blue color pattern with lines in it and then it went to the screen being black

Well I had the same problem a week ago do I cleaned out the game packs and the game pack reader out with qutips and rubbing alcohal and I tried the game and the expansion pack on my black N64 console and every thing was fine so it probably was a glitch then for my aqua N 64 console it works now. I hope it isn't not a problem with the console it's self.

Nintendo 64 has power but does not work

Bring the console in to Gamestop or Rock30 Games and have them hook it up to their setup and see if it works. They buy sell and trade n64 games and will have a n64 system already set up at the store. Just switch your console and cables with theirs until you find out what is not working for you.

All of my other N64 games work perfectly, but when I put in Donkey Kong 64 it always freezes during the 64 logo or the Dolby thing. I tried trading it in for a different one, but the second one freezes in...

Well there could be an internal issue with the console then or video games consoles are senseitive to heat and it could be an over heating issue. Dust acts as a baricade and it makes video game console over heat 10 times faster than their normal rate.

Well try a new expansion pack to see if it works again then. I had a similar problem like this with my 14 yearold N64 console so I tried a new expansion pack in it and it worked again.

How do you erase memory from the memory pak

  • Plug an N64 controller into the "Player 1" port on the Nintendo 64.
  • 2 Place the N64 Controller Pack into the memory card slot on the Nintendo 64 controller.
  • 3 Insert a Nintendo 64 game into the cartridge slot on the N64.
  • 4 Hold down "Start" on the N64 controller.
  • 5 Turn the Nintendo 64 on via the "Power" switch on the device. After the console loads, the Controller Pack menu will appear on the screen.
  • 6 Release the "Start" button on the N64 controller.
  • 7 Browse through the saves listed, using the N64 controller's directional pad.
  • 8 Highlight the game you want to erase.
  • 9 Select the "Delete" option. The pages that were occupied by the game save will be erased from the Controller Pack.
  • 10 Repeat Steps 7 though 9 until you're finished erasing pages on the Controller Pak. Restart the N64 if you wish to play the game that was inserted into the device, or turn the Nintendo 64 off if you are done using the console.

    Reebooting constently when I play a game, the console reboots. What do I have to change within the console for it to stop

    Once, I spilled juice on ours. it worked fine, but I had to replace the switch on my system because it was constantly engaged. If you really want to fix it, take it apart and clean the switch for RESET. if that doesn't help, look for damaged wires, a broken switch, or other problems. I hope this helps.

    No color

    Well it might be an issue with the av cables or the rf switch or the tv its self. One time I plugged my SNES console into the rya jacks for video 2 and the screen was in black grey and white but I tried it on video 1 with my av cable and channel 3 for my rf switch and it was fine. It could be the problem that i had.
