I recently won the auction for an N64 on eBay, it arrived yesterday. It turns on but I can't get it to come up on the tv. I've plugged my ps2 in and that works fine on AV3. I can't think of any reason why it won't come up? I've e mailed the seller, which could be interesting to see if he has any ideas!

Marcus, my one just came with an RF cable only, tuned in a channel on the TV and it's fine.

Good thing really as all my other scart connectors on the TV are in use by other electronic paraphernalia!
