Repairing game consoles.
I just repaired my first Gamecube and I may have the possibility to repair more consoles, including PS2 and X-Box. Anyone heard of any books or websites that deal with game console repair?
Thanks. |
What problem with the gamecube did you have?

I used to be able to fix most of the old cartridge systems but these new ones are way too complicated for me

Sure would like to repair my cube.....
Yeh, I tried the pub 94 fix but to no avail. I took the cube apart about as far as you can but w/ no luck. I spoke to a friend of mine who is very good w electronics and he stated that it sounds like the disc spinning motor is slowing down, thus the loss of data tracking after a few minutes of it working, (cant read disc error).
**** I was able to snag another cube on black friday at walmart for $79, not a total loss, but if ANYONE has any other suggestions as to info on anything I missed, a post would be greatly appreciated; before I trade the broken one at gamestop for $25. |

Maybe I'll keep it.....
Actually after I messed w/ the cube I did find that while I'm playing and the disc read error comes up, all I have to do the make it continue working is to open the lid and close it again and it starts back to where it paused/ stopped- this does get to be a pain in the butt every 3-5 minutes though. Maybe I'll hook it up next to my computer so I'll be on top of it when it stops to reset it. I sure hate to get rid of it.
