Released on June 23, 1996, Model NUS-001, the N64 is Nintendo's first, and, up until the release of the Switch, only 64-bit gaming console (The GameCube, Wii, and Wii U could perform 64-bit floating-point calculations, but this is not true 64-bit architecture).

Is there any chance of saving this console?

So I wanted to mod my n64 with the Pixlefx HD and I botched and tore off a trace. Can it be fixed by running a wire from the pin to the other pin(marked with black dots) it communicates with? I also noticed the one to the bottom of it is loose, but not torn off(yet) and any tips on removing the flux under the pins I don't want to damage it more..

@christophe89153 use some good flux and a desoldering wick and clean the repair area off. Right now it's a bit hard to see which traces need to be connected but I would definitely suggest to just run jumper wires from connector to connector. There might be a few that will still need fixing so make sure you have the right flux, solder and cleaned the traces well. Also, remember to watch your heat :-)
