Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak Teardown
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 5 Steps
Teardown of a Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak. Useful for repairs or deep cleans.
Step 1
– Alright, let’s get this party started! On the side where your Game Boy cartridges slide in, you’ll want to tackle those 4 screws first. These little guys are Y screws, so grab your trusty Y 2.0 or 2.3 head and get to work. Once they’re out of the way, the top cover should pop right off!
Step 2
– Gently pull back the two small plastic levers—don’t rush it! Once they’re out of the way, you can easily pop out the ribbon cable and lift the board off. Smooth sailing from here!
Step 3
– Once you’ve removed the main board, it’s time to get to the bracket that keeps the connector attached to the ribbon cable snug as a bug. Simply unscrew the tiny PH0 screw on the bracket, and it’ll come right off. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 4
– Once you’ve got the top cover removed in step 1, grab your PH0 screwdriver and unscrew those two screws right there—easy peasy!
Step 5
– Gather all the parts individually.
Success!
