Hi,
I am kinda new to N64 modding/repairing and I ran into a strange issue.
Backstory, in case it is somehow relevant:
I got a not working NTSC-J N64 that hat no image, after further inspection (and a lot of help from my younger brother) I noticed that the voltage regulator (U13 12 to 5v) got kinda hot, so I replaced that and capacitor C130 ( 68 uF).
That got rid of a short and the no image problem. Now I can start the console and boot into my everdrive module.
New Problem:
Now the controller port acts strange. The N64 always thinks that there is a controller, even if there is none. But a connected controller wont do anything.
So the port is broken, but the console thinks everything is fine, and a controller is connected.
Observation:
What happens is that I boot into the everdrive, on a working console without a controler the focus (cursor?) will switch between the first two Options on the screen. With a connected controller it will stay in place till there is an input. With this console it will not switch without a controller, but also not accept any input with an controller.
Ofc I tested multiple controller.
So I cleaned the port, resoldered the connection, even tho it measured fine from Port to Board. I just have no clue what to do on the board.
I hope that is enough information, I basically have no clue what I am doing here.
Thanks in advance
