Doctor V64 Repairs

Does anyone know where i can get a V64 repaired in the UK. I have two dead units that require attention.

Any help would be appreciated.

Man they are shit aren't they ;) I've had and sold several of these units and they have all just about died...

You used to be able to pick up a few parts from Madeira games but they got warned by Ninty. Maybe a couple of the HK suppliers can still get parts.

what is wrong with them ???

i may be able to help you out.

Is there a clicking sound when you turn the unit on ???

let me know , i will see what i can do.

i'd be happy to take a look too, describe the symptoms a bit please :)

well I have dead one and basically the buttons have stopped working!

Apparently this is quite a common problem. Its a real pisser as it means you can't use the CD drive at all which means the only way to load games is by hooking it up to the PC and you all know how long it takes to send roms via the cable!!!

any thoughts?

man i thought i was the only one left with a doctor v64,
and yes mine is shagged as well. same bobbydavro the buttons have stopped working. thought it might have been dry solder as i have not played it for years. but sods law, fancyed a game of ncw and it had stopped working.... so any help would be great. would love to play some of my n64 games again.


p.s can i have your autograph Mr davro.........lol

mine has died twice, i just opened it up and re seated the chips and connectors, most of the problems seem to be heat related with things creeping out of their sockets (like the early amiga 500's), its always cured it, mine is still running and i got it within 2 weeks of them coming out, and believe me its had some hammer ;)

i also got mine pretty much the same day they came out, a mate of mine went over to hong kong and bought a couple back with him. £530 with the n64. and boy has mine had some hammer, the n64 that is...... i will give it a go resitting the chips on the board...
and see what happens.
cheers..

I got 2 spare 128M ram sticks for Doctor64 to sell.. ebay wont let me list them. Anyone wanna swap/buy em off me? Also I got around 10 or so replacement BIOS chips - swap out your bios if its dead (black screen).. black screen might be from a totally dead mobo or dead psu though.

Does anyone know where i can still get a V64? I sold mine a while ago, but i wish i hadn't now :(

The N64 is a great machine with some quite nice games.

anyone know where i can get hold of a power supply for a doctor v64?

cheers!

You can get a new power supply from:
www.totoek.com

It's $45 though, which i think is a bit steep but they are hard to get hold of
