I just purchased an N64 from my friend. It's an US region one. Its adapter is 110 V but my electrical socket is 220 V. I forgot and plugged it in directly and BAM!, the adapter was burnt.
So I went buy a new one and plugged it in a converter first before plugged in the socket. The power came up just fine, the LED went red. But now the problem came from the AV cable. I plugged it in the console first, then the TV. When I plugged the yellow cord (the video out), a spark appeared ! This time the power didn't come up until I removed the cable (?)
I tried another AV cable, it was getting even worse. Strange noise like electric buzz came from the console and moments later, there was a burning smell. I removed the cable immediately and see the smell coming from the connector. Maybe the cable had been broken, I don't know, I was scared to plug it in again.
So, does anyone have any idea what the problem with my N64 is?
