So I've been going through all of my consoles, taking the screws out and giving them a good cleaning. I'm at the N64, and I have no idea what kind of screws are in it. I emailed Nintendo with the following message:
So while it's a bullshit response, I'm here with an N64 that can't be taken apart. I asked my dad and he said they look like tamper proof screws. Does anybody know what kind of screws they are and what tool I need to take them out?
QUOTE said:I've been cleaning all of my old consoles just so the dust doesn't ruin them. And I desperately need to clean my N64 as it's been sitting on a shelf for years with no controllers or wires for it, and the Reset button is permanently stuck down. What sort of tool do I need to take it apart so I can get all the dust out of it and make sure to give it a proper cleaning?
Thank You,
Ryan
And this was the response:
QUOTERyan,
Thank you for writing. While I can appreciate wanting to take good care of your Nintendo 64, we do not provide the tools or information on how to open any of our systems. We suggest you vacuum from within the accessible opening in the system. I wish you the best with this.
Sincerely,
Shane O'Neil
