I felt like playing some old N64 games and broke out my N64, booted it up and I get nothing on screen! 
So I opened it up to see if anything looked out of the ordinary and to me everything looks to be ok-ish. Plugged everything in and let it run for about 15 minutes with the heatsinks off to see if anything gets hot and it seemed like only the RCP was getting warm, not sure if that's the normal or not. I'll be uploading some pictures shortly after posting this.
Things I tried:
2 different composite cables (both known working on my SNES and GameCube)
Re-seating game carts to see if that was the issue (no luck unfortunately)
Cleaning off video adapter port pins with 90% isopropyl alcohol
If anyone else knows something else I could try to fix it please let me know and thanks in advance!
