Gameshark N64 isn't working at all.

Hmm, now that you two have said that, I seem to remember some confusion about it. Some v3.3 have the LED screen while others don't. Weird.

Plus I don't have SM64 so I'm out of luck there too. This seems like a terrible purchase for me.

You could just try every game you own.

Already did.

Well then, the only other thing you can do right now is open it up to take a look. I believe the Game Shark uses standard philip head screws, so you don't need a special security bit to open it. I've read a few times that the manufacturing quality can be poor, and bad solder joints are easy to fix.

Well it's apart and I cleaned it good. It still doesn't work and honestly I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at.

My computer doesn't have a port like that.

If you can, post a picture of the front and back of the PCB. If you do, make sure the pics are good quality (in focus and a decent resolution).

Thanks Ziggy for all that info. I work in the warehouse defective room for a local game store chain and these come in on occasion with a similar problem. Sometimes I can get them to work, sometimes not.
