Nintendo 64: Tijdens spelen herstart Nintendo 64

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 00:15:45 -0700

Beste

Wij hebben gemerkt tijdens het spelen van bijvoorbeeld Mario Party dat de console gewoon uit zijn eigen reset en spel terug volledig op nieuw moeten beginnen van 0.

Wij zouden graag willen weten waar dit kan aanliggen?

Met vriendelijke groeten

Nintendo 64: N64 geeft geen beeld of geluid

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 01:43:08 -0700

Mijn N64 geeft geen beeld of geluid. Ik heb de jumperpack al verwisseld en de cartridgepoort zowel als de jumperpack poort gereinigd met isopropanol. Kabels zijn goed en getest op een werkende n64, net als de voeding.

Daarnaast heb ik al nieuwe elco's geïnstalleerd, gekeken of de poorten continuïteit geven en als laatste aan de onderkant van het bord gezocht naar kortsluiting.

C29 en C30 geven geen aarde weer met een continuïteit check, voor de rest geen rare waarden gevonden. Ik loop dus tegen een blok aan en wil vragen of jullie nog iets weten?

Nintendo Wii: waarom doet mijn beeld zo raar

Fri, 18 Dec 2020 16:08:03 -0700

goeden middag allemaal.

ik heb 2 weken geleden een nieuwe set kabels voor mijn Nintendo Wii besteld.

maar toen ik deze aansloot op mijn Wii en hem opstarten begon het scherm heel raar te doen zie foto in de bijlagen.

dus toen had ik het probleem eerst bij de component kabel gelegd maar toen ik deze had ontvangen bleef het zelfden probleem zich voordoen dus ben ik veder wat onderzoek gaan doen en wat blijkt dat de hoeveelheid stroom verbruik een invloed heeft op de hoeveelheid gestotter van het beeld dus ik heb het probleem geïsoleerd naar de gekochte power adapter.

na nog een mail naar het bedrijf waar ik de kabels heb besteld en ze hebben me een nieuwe adapter gestuurd alleen dat maakte geen verschil.

het probleem ligt ook niet bij de Wii zelf want op een andere set kabels doet hij het perfect.

weet iemand nog iets dat ik kan proberen.

zo niet een goede website om nog een nieuwe set te bestellen.

Nintendo GameCube: Waarom geeft de GameCube bij sommige spellen zwart wit beeld?

Sat, 30 May 2020 14:50:06 -0700

Ik heb mijn GameCube via een HDMI converter aangesloten aan een projector (Nebula capsule) met HDMI ingang. Nu doet bijvoorbeeld ‘Luigi's Mansion’ het wel, maar bij bijvoorbeeld ‘Mario Kart’ en ‘FIFA 2007’ krijg ik zwart-wit beeld.

Nintendo Wii: 120V power adapter connected to 220V

Sat, 01 Aug 2026 10:03:29 -0700

I plugged in my power supply without the voltage adapter, so it blew. I've already replaced the fuse with a 2.5A 392 fuse and a V7271U varistor. The Wii still won't turn on. I measured the 12V output, and it reads between 7V and 9V. Do you know where I should check to find the possible problem?

Thanks in advance.

update1: thank @dan0 for the response. Unfortunately, I can't test the Wii on its own, since I don't have another power adapter right now, but I'll try to get one. However, the voltage readings I took were from the power adapter itself, at the 12V output.

I've attached the images.

This is a general view of the transformer with the integrated circuits I mentioned earlier already replaced.

There's the fuse and the varistor that were replaced after they burned out.

Measure the output voltage at these two points: at the cable connector that connects to the Wii, and at the cable output from the motherboard.

Thank you very much for your help

update 2:

here are the images

thanks!

Nintendo Wii: Defective Replacement Wii DVD Drive - Clicking and Read Errors (Order #US3456213)

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 05:52:18 -0700

I recently purchased and installed a replacement Nintendo Wii DVD Drive (Order #US3456213). The installation went smoothly and the drive recognizes media initially, but as soon as a game is launched, the drive makes a loud clicking sound and displays the blue screen error: "An error has occurred. Press the Eject Button and remove the disc, then turn the Wii console off and refer to the Wii Operations Manual for help troubleshooting." This occurred on the first use of the new drive.

It seems the drive has a tracking problem or a mechanical defect. I would like to request a warranty replacement for this part.

Nintendo Wii U: Wii U Freezes on Startup Screen

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 14:28:26 -0700

It Turns on, But it's just stuck on the startup Screen with the Wii U Logo. There is no Startup sound either. It accepts and ejects Disks but the disk drive makes a weird noise when starting to read a disk. It was unplugged for multiple Years and if i remember correctly it used to freeze a bit later into the menus before that

Nintendo Wii: only reads a few game disks

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 05:10:51 -0700

Hello, my Wii has gotten a bit grumpy lately and would not read disks, I cleaned the laser lens with some isopropal alcohol an a q-tip, but now it only reads a few games from my collection, even then it takes a few tries of taking the disk out and putting it back in to get to the disk channel menu. Sometimes disconnecting the console from my TV(27" Panasonic Tau) to get a read, this makes me think either the power brick or the laser diode is going out. the model number is RVL-001 and the games it can read are: Lego Indiana Jones, Wii Sports, The Sims 3, Super Mario Galaxy, I Spy Spooky Mansion, Elebits, DDR Hottest Party 2, and A Boy And His Blob. so only around 1/3 of my games. Once it boots into the game it seems to be fine. any help would be greatly appreciated

On the bottom of my SNES console there is a slot for something but i have no clue what. it has a protective cover and on the cover is simply the letters EXT.

Nintendo Entertainment System: Why won't the screen and red light stopping blinking?

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 10:26:00 -0700

Maybe my NES has finally had its last day of life, but I think it can be fixed some how. When I put in a game and start it up, I get a flashing screen and blinking red light. I have taken apart my NES, cleaned it and moved the connectors closer together. It works occasionally now, but I wanted to know if there was anything else I could do to restore it and hopefully make it more functionally?

Update: Bought a new 72-pin connector from ebay. Will get back to you guys with the results.

The F1 fuse on my SNES keeps getting tripped. As soon as I plug in power the fuse blows. I’ve checked the voltage regulator and It seems good. I can’t find any other glaring issues but clearly there’s a short somewhere. Any help would be appreciated!

Nintendo 64: Is there any chance of saving this console?

Fri, 29 May 2026 19:18:47 -0700

So I wanted to mod my n64 with the Pixlefx HD and I botched and tore off a trace. Can it be fixed by running a wire from the pin to the other pin(marked with black dots) it communicates with? I also noticed the one to the bottom of it is loose, but not torn off(yet) and any tips on removing the flux under the pins I don't want to damage it more..

Nintendo Wii: Where can I find 3D print files for the GC port covers?

Fri, 08 May 2026 14:09:33 -0700

So my Wii's GC port covers are broken, and I want to 3D print some new ones for it. The only problem is, I can't design new covers because the original ones aren't in good enough condition to use as a reference for CADing. So then I checked all of the 3D print file websites I know of and searched to see if anyone had already designed them, but I couldn't find files for new port covers on any site I checked (Thingiverse, MakerWorld, etc.). Does anyone know of a site that does have files for these port covers?
