    • Let's begin by removing the top cover.

    • Flip the console upright, and the top cover just comes right off.

    • Remove the 10 crossbar screws using a Philips #2 screwdriver.

    • Take out the 2 screws holding in one piece of the expansion slot shield, also with a Philips #2

    • The 2 black screws and the one at the bottom left of the expansion slot shield are easily removed with a Philips #2.

    • Finally, remove the 2 long screws from the 2 ends of the slot with a Philips #0.

    • The heatsink crossbar comes right off, which gives us access to the motherboard shield.

    • The 5 screws on the two sides of the shield are swiftly removed with a Philips #2

    • The 2 screws on each side of the Game Pak slot are quite long, and are removed with a Philips #2.

    • With that, the shield slips right off, letting us gaze at the Nintendo 64's source of power.

    • On the motherboard are 3 very pronounced steel blocks, which indicates that the important stuff is under there. But before removing these, it's best to take the motherboard out of the bottom case.

    • In order to remove the motherboard, unscrew the 4 Philips #2 screws from the two back I/O ports, allowing extraction of the motherboard.

Thank you, this tear down was real helpful. I was able to open up an N64 and clean the corrosion between some pins that kept it from turning on. :D

This in my opinion was one of the best consoles. The Zelda games for the 64 were amazing. Love the idea I can fix mine.
