So my 64red was working great for a day or two when suddenly it turned off. I first thought that this was due to a low battery so I plugged it in and let it charge for a few hours. When I unplug it, it powers on for a few seconds, shows me the n64 splash screen for Legend of Zelda, and then turns off again.
I checked the voltage from the batteries, it was lower (approx. 5v) after charging it I get 7.4v again and I can see a steady drop from power use.
I double checked my wiring, it appears to be fine. I'm using 20 gauge wire for all my power (I know it's not ideal)
but I simply can't find anything wrong with it.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
EDIT: I just thought of something that my be beneficial: After it turns off, I plug it back into the charger, after waiting for about 10 seconds or so, I can turn it on again and it works for a few seconds before shutting off.
