Topic: Gamecube problems

It looks even better which a Purple GB Player attached. if you can get one for a decent price. I think I got lucky when I was searching on ebayer and got it with the US & JP Start-Up disc for £30.

As on the topic at hand, is this on all the ports? If it is just one port, then providing you can get the replacement part, it's quite an easy fix (you would just have get the correct screw drivers). I actually have a few spare and will be happy to send it to, as long as you pay the postage cost (send e-mail to [email protected] if interested).

Or just get a replacement. There are surprisingly cheap on ebay and I picked one up for around £10 (included postage).

I used to do that all the time when my disc couldn't be read.

Yup, you can clean out game systems, controllers, cartridges, optical discs, LCD screens (Most), and tons (probably most) of electronics. There's almost nothing that miracle fluid can do! I'm currently considering starting an isopropyl fan club. Not to mention, it kills germs.

Do you own a Wii? It has backwards compatibility.

Well a little update to my Gamecube problems. Recently I bought a Gamecube with four Wavebird controllers off of shopgoodwill.com for $20. Well I hooked it up today to test it out even though it was advertised as working to discover it kinda works. I played Soul Caliber II on it for about an hour today the I shut off the system to switch games and get a bite to eat. Well when I went to start it back up the system wouldn't start. when I press the power button down the light flickers on and off rapidly but the system wont go on. Tried it a few times and thats all it does. Not sure if its a bum power button although it does press down with no problems and feels normal or if it's a lose connection or what. Kinda bummed cause that's two Gamecubes I have now that kinda work.

As for the first one I was able to test out all my GC controllers on this other Gamecube I bought so now I know its the controller ports in my old GC. So it looks like I will still be hunting for another Gamecube. Although the 4 Wavebird controllers that came with it work just fine and honestly I will take those working over the Gamecube any day since those are almost double the price of the system.

@Tasuki or assemble a Frankenstein creation by taking apart one to fix the other. Just my take on how I do things though lol

@RancidVomit86: Yeah I just might do that.

So if I got this right, you have two GameCubes with the following problem:

• Has controller port problems
• The other, power supply issues

Well, you can get one working at least. Simply take the one with the power problem apart, and take out the controller port section. Then simply swap the faulty port part with the working one.

NO. You HAVE to get your old GCN fixed. DO NOT buy another one. There's something magical about YOUR Gamecube. Fix it yourself bro.

Ya, you might as well try to fix the one with controller issues. What would you plan to do with 2 not working GCNs, right?

Well there is a place in my town that will buy them for parts from me.

@Tasuki
Maybe they can fix it for you, then. I think it would ultimately cost you less money to repair it. Besides, try and fix it, and if you can't, THEN sell it for parts.

@SCAR362: Oh, they will repair for almost double on what I can spend on one used somewhere else so its not really worth it. I see what you are saying but right now I have them packed up cause I am moving in a few weeks but yeah I will probably take one apart and tinker with it.

DUDE!!! If you absolutely CAN'T fix it then TRY TO MAKE A PORTABLE!!!!!
