I would check your AV cables, first, before doing anything drastic. Try and dig up another cable from a friend or local game store. Another thing that you should check is whether the AV cable input on the back of the console looks normal. Look at it closely, for signs of corrosion, breakage (chips of broken plasic, etc.), or looseness (you shouldn't be able to make it budge). The N64 is an incredicibly durable system, so internally, the unit is likely intact unless you have exposed it to extreme temps, moistness, or hit it with a baseball bat. I would also check the settings on your televsion and make sure that the TV is not causing a problem.

Ps2 slim new modded: black screen

Check the AV HDMI cables on the back of the tv. You may have the cable in the wrong sockets. Then try turning on the PS 2.
Hope this helps.

Wii does not show up on the tv screen

This problem is likely due to a problem with your AV cable. Try the steps below to get your Wii up and running.

Make sure the Wii is turned on and all cables are plugged in.
Unplug the AV cable from the T.V. (The AV cable has a red plug, a yellow plug, and a white plug.)
Plug the AV cable back into the television making sure that the red plug goes into the red socket, the yellow plug goes into the yellow socket, and the white plug goes into the white socket.

If problems continue try replacing your AV cable with a new one.

Doesnt show up on the television. It does turn on. turned playstation on and off, tried different connections, still nothing

It is likely that the problem is your AV cable. This cable has one plug that connects to your Playstation 3 and a red plug, a white plug, and a yellow plug that connects to your television. Follow these steps to get your PS3 up and running again

Unplug your AV cable from your PS3 and T.V.
Plug in your AV cable to your PS3 and T.V.

When plugging your AV cable back into the T.V. make sure that the red plug is in the red socket, the yellow plug is in the yellow socket and the white plug is in the white socket.
If problems persist try using a different AV cable.

Xbox wont show on screen

Check the little switch on the av cord at the end where it goes into the xbox. If your using component most likely it needs to set to HDTV. If your using the yellow, red, and white cables then set it to TV. My tv will go all black if mine is set to HDTV when I'm using the yellow, white and red ends. I hope this helps.

Cant see screen

Make sure the setting on the AV cable is set correctly. Either for HDTV or standard TV. Put your TV on the correct output channel for your connection.

AV Cable Problems

try turning your tv on the input that you have the ps3 plugged in. Then with your ps3 on standby (the red light is on), hold the power button until the second beep. This resets the video settings

PS3 will play on AV but will not in HDMI

Connect via AV and turn on the system.
Go to Setting and then Display setting
Select the connector type on your TV.
After you selected connector your TV screen may go staid black. Try to hook your HD cable while the system is still on. (This step should be done in 30 sec. If not, will go back to previous screen)
Your TV Screen should be on via HD cable
