User blog:Shadowmaster/Help with Controller Pak

Sorry to be posting this here (XD), but I am in need of possible assistance with my Nintendo 64 controller pak, and I'm wondering if someone here is able to help. When I start up the system, it says "Controller pak abnormality", and gives the options "Proceed without saving", "Re-connect", and "Restore". Of course, I went with the latter two, both of which did nothing and just took me back to the menu. Sometimes, it started with "No CASTLEVANIA note", after which I created a note, which just took me to the abnormality menu. And, on occasion, it said "Controller pak has been changed. Reinsert and press A", after which it either just repeated after I pressed A or took me back to the menu. Is this normal? Is my controller pak defective, or is there something I can do?
