Light turns, had picture one time, then never again.

My N64 hasn't been turned on in a while, when I did try it the light turns on. After turning it off and on a few times, one of those times it turned on for minute with the game on screen, then turned off. This was the only time it turned on as of recent. Any ideas?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

try cleaning the game pins with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab

use 70% to 100% also make the swab damp not soaked

then dry it with the other end of the swab
