My beloved N64 has been sitting unused for about three years now, due to the 'putting in the cartridge and turning it on but not reading the cartridge' problem. Unfortunately, I tend to go back to old games ridiculously often, but the 64 just doesn't want to work. Does anyone know anyplace, either online or in the US; where I could get it repaired?

these days it might just be cheaper to buy a used system that works rather than try and find a repair center and/or repair parts. There's a place just downtown for me that I've seen N64 used systems in the $25-$45 range.

Custom PC, MacBook Pro (MBPr), 3DSxl Blue, 3DS Midnight Purple, iPhone 4S Green

Call Nintendo up. They have authorizes repair centres scattered around the country. There may be one near you. Worth a shot.
I highly doubt Nintendo would touch a Nintendo 64 to repair.

N64's aren't expensive. $25 for used tops. You could probably get one $50 in box if you really wanted to.

That being said, an independently owned and operated (IE not Gamestop/EB/Best Buy/whatever) game store might have a repair service, though expect to pay a lot of money.

Because....? I didn't say to send it to Nintendo for repair (which I've done with my DS Phat in the past). I said call them up and ask for the nearest authorized Nintendo repair centre. They fixed up my SuperNES while I had a GameCube!
