I have two N64 systems and one won't work

Hello community, I hope someone can help me. The case is, I have two n64: one is a jungle green edition that works perfectly fine, and a regular black edition that doesn't output audio and video to any TV it's plugged in.

I'm certain, since my jungle green works with any game you put in it. Both are NTSC so it's not a compatibility problem.

I really want to make it work so I can sell it to someone since I have my other system. Any help?

Thanks in advance

The N64 doesn’t have an O/S so it’s up to the games to make it do anything other than a black screen.

Try rubbing a bunch of isopropyl on a game’s pins and then jam the game in and out of the slot several time (this cleans the contacts inside the cartridge slot). After I did that, the games would sometimes work, I had to push em in and out a few times to get them working.. So I took the console apart, pulled out the cartridge slot (it pulls straight out of the motherboard), cleaned all around the cartridge slot area with isopropyl and a cotton swab (cleared a bunch of yellow crap and dust and grime build-up). Works every time now.
