No worries, the title doesn't mean I plan on parting it out or trashing it... I'm just a bit concerned about an error it's been having recently. If the printer is plugged into a slot other than slot 4, the whole thing freezes and won't do anything, unusual behavior. Even in slot 4 it refuses to read my smart cards, even ones from previously unopened boxes that I know are valid. It functions perfectly normally if I use it like a normal N64, though.
My first thought was that something on the board may have been affected during the same electrical storm that made me have to degauss all my monitors, though I have my doubts how much voltage could get to a machine on a turned off surge protector. Does anyone have any ideas what I should check on these? I remember from lurking a long time ago some other folks on here have these, hopefully someone is more knowledgeable about how they work than I am. If it's a bad eprom, is the data still out there to reburn it or am I pretty much screwed?
