About this video

Why does a Mario Party 2 N64 cartridge give no sign of life, not even a blank screen? The maker finds a bad trace, repairs it and cleans up the board.

Why watch it

The symptom is total: the TV does not even switch from no input to a blank screen, and the maker gets the cartridge to working condition by the end.
