N64 Controller Won't Register

[Porksta]

I have an N64 controller that won't register when a game is played. Is there a quick and easy fix or is this going to be a soldering/electronics job?

I had that happen the other day and fixed it by pushing the cable slightly into the controller. Probably a broken wire or broken solder joint for me though and it was a short term fix.

Could potentially be something dirty.

You Need To Go And Get A Special N64 Screwdriver And Open It Up And Clean Out The Controller Ports And Fix The Board Up A Little And Then It Might Just Work For Ya

The console works fine, it is the controller that won't register.

Yeah Just Get A Q-Tip And Rubbing Alcohol To Clean Out The Cantacts In The Controller Port And That Should Work
If Not Use A Different Controller
And Is It Third Party?
Hope I Helped
