    • Stacca lo slot corrente dalla scheda madre. Per fare ciò, tira semplicemente lo slot della cartuccia situato al centro nella parte posteriore della console. Oscillalo avanti e indietro e tiralo verso l'alto finché non si stacca. Fare attenzione ai pin collegati in basso. Questi dovranno essere collegati alla scheda madre, quindi non danneggiarli.

    • Una volta disconnesso lo slot, inizia il processo di saldatura. Ci vorranno 30-40 minuti poiché ci sono 44 connessioni da scheda madre a pin da effettuare. Ci sarà una connessione di filo da 2 pollici per pin (2 pollici x 48 pin = 96 pollici), quindi taglia il filo in 48 sezioni di 2 pollici ciascuna.

    • Inizia saldando un'estremità del filo da 2 pollici al pin più a sinistra sullo slot della cartuccia disconnessa e l'altra estremità del filo al punto di contatto più a sinistra sulla scheda madre. Ripetere questo passaggio per ogni punto di connessione da pin. C'è una fila anteriore e posteriore, ciascuna con 24 punti di contatto.

    • Quando tutte le connessioni sono state effettuate dovresti avere un gruppo affollato di fili. Posiziona lo slot della cartuccia collegata in posizione in modo che rientri nella sua posizione originale quando il coperchio del Nintendo 64 viene rimesso in posizione Testare la sua funzionalità inserendo una cartuccia nello slot e accendendo il sistema

    How hard in your estimation would it be to repair damaged cartridge pins on another retro console? Say the Atari Jaguar? Or are they all rather similar?

Thanks for the guide and appreciate the details.

Is it possible to just replacement the cartridge holder unless the through hole connections are broken? This adds many wires which could cause problems such as shorting, electrical hazard, etc... Maybe a continuity test between each corresponding through hole connection and point could determine the problematic pins so that only a few wires need soldering and attaching.

Warning 1:

If soldering, ensure each wire has plenty of insulation left so that event with movement of the wire, electrical shorts are not possible.

Warning 2:

Also, ensure the n64 is unplugged and the power supply is fully disconnected from the back of the unit before attempting this for electrical safety and to prevent damage to the unit. Additionally, wait a while to ensure any capacitors are discharged before disassembly as well for the same reasons (not sure how long). The unit unplugged is shown here.

My funtastic pal N64 has a removable cartridge slot that's held in with friction, no soldering required

My Australian PAL N64 cartridge slot is not solderd in , so replacing should just be the same and plug back in no soldering required?

For anyone still wondering: No, you don't need to solder anything. All N64 cartridge connectors (from any region) are the same and none of them require soldering at all. They just plug in and out. I replaced a couple of them myself and when I found out that some cheap knockoff cartridge connectors (who claim to be N64 replacement parts despite having 50 pins with the wrong spacing) are causing people trouble and confusion, I did a good amount of research all over the Internet, only to find out that there are no regional differences when it comes to cartridge connectors for the N64, but I also found that there are a lot of people who believe there is (simply, because their parts don't match the already false description of guides like this one). I did replace a few of those connectors myself (mostly in PAL consoles, but also in one NTSC-J console) and I talked to people who did the same with NTSC-U consoles. I looked at dozens of Youtube videos. And it all came down to 48-pin plug-in cartridge connectors.

Thank you so, so much. After reading these instructions I was baffled. What needs to be wired? What kind of wire? There are these pins on the bottom this guide is talking about? Why are these images so useless? I appreciate your easy followup to this awful guide. Much appreciated!!

By chance, do you happen to have a reference for a site that sells the 48 pin connectors? All I'm finding are the 50 pin connectors you state don't work. Thanks for the help!

No soldering is required to swap this part normally.
