Nintendo 64 Power Supply Capacitor Replacement Kit Installation Guide
Thank you for your purchase of a Nintendo 64 power supply replacement fuse from Nintendo Repair
Hut. We appreciate your patronage and look forward to serving you again in the future. If you have any
questions please don't hesitate to contact us at Starwander@Comcast.net. This guide is intended to
help you through the steps involved in installing your replacement fuse.
Items Needed to Start
Nintendo 64 power supply fuse
4.5mm security screw kit
Soldering iron
Soldering braid or solder sucker
Solder
Wire cutters
Safety goggle
Gas respiratory or fume hood
Personal Protective Equipment
During the process of removing the fuse from the power adapter and installing the replacement one you
will be vaporizing the solder and other materials on the circuit board. This will release toxic fumes into
the air that will be inhaled if you are not using respiratory protection. We recommend that you use at
the very least a gas respiratory to protect yourself and goggles to protect your eyes. The best solution is
to use a fume hood if you have access to one.
Soldering Skills Needed
This repair requires extensive soldering skills and should not be attempted by a novice. You are more
likely to damage the system if you don't have the proper skills. We recommend that if you are not
completely comfortable with your soldering skills you return this repair kit for a full refund at this time.
Patience
This repair requires roughly fifteen to twenty minutes of work. If you start to get tired we recommend
that you stop and come back to the work at a difference time. Attention to detail is an absolute must
during this repair.
