With no audio the Mario kart starts normaly or stuck/freeze in the First screen?

can we source the cap through digikey or mouser?

Dude, thank you! My poor GameCube has been sitting in a box for 2 years bc of the disc not spinning and me not wanted to get rid of it, but this video totally worked for me! I brought the ohms down from 425 to 350ish and it’s working great now! Thank you!!!

I have a GameCube that was dropped recently and the disc stopped spinning after it happened. I am currently working on it like your video shows and now I got it to spin but it will not keep spinning, it quits after 45secs. Any advice? I do not have the tools you have to gage the laser intensity so I am doing it blindly, just a stay at home mom that knows nothing about the functioning of electronics 😅

nice jacket it looks warm

Upside down video, but overall pretty good

Mine was at 333

you could try it after replacing the CPU with a chip meant for higher clocks so that it oes not crash

Thanks buddy, you just helped me play Silent Hill again! Worked like a charm and you earned a sub!

I finally got my gamecube to work. I had to re-cap the logic board for the disc drive and it still wouldn't spin. I had to adjust the trimpot. Factory had it at about 198 ohms I had to get it down to 112ohm for it to spin and read discs consistently. I think the laser is probably on it's way out but the drive works for now.

Will this work with a New 2DS XL?

La mia il video sembra funzionare ma si vede malissimo..cosa può essere? grazie

Am curious your busted soundchip could sound sooo weird, it lacks playing different pitches and it also sounds very rough,so it might be a dead chip or capacitor inside.

I did everything you did and it still couldn’t read the disc it spins a little then stops and doesn’t read it

Man you got some skills i would have had to take it apart to work

Hey, I really appreciate this video. It helped me fix my gamecube, but I had a question about the plastic of the GameCube when I was putting it back together in a few different places where the screws go in were slightly cracking now it didn’t affect the ability to hold everything in place and honestly, it’s probably just me complaining about the fact that it’s not perfect, but is that normal for the plastic to crack when you were putting the screws back in? I was not screwing them too tight It was happening while they were being screwed in. Jw if it was me or the age of the console

I just got mine and used it ONE time with Mario 64, then it stopped working. Even if I put Mario 64 back in it won't work and I don't know what to do

Very informative and honest repair review. 👍

Fyi if this doesn't work it could be the capacitors 👍

Thats "O.C" is at your own risk, at some point it fails and causes video corruption and crash. It's not as easy as changing the crystal oscillator, the synchronization between all parts of the console will be lost. The system try to compensate the discrepancy in order to synchronize and this cause lost of time. Write a bench program and compare how much gain vs how many times fail. If you are not care to kill the console then it's ok, good look.

Thanks I love my ds but my hinge broke and I got a new hinge thanks to you now I can play nintendogs!

Bro. Seriously. A THOUSAND TIME THANK YOU. You literally saved my Gamecube. I want to thank you somehow, if you ever come to Italy I want to offer you a beer ♥

Hi gamecube not spin on laser not working

and if the laser doesnt move?

.....It's this simple??? Okay then, I'll need to get my hands on one of those electrical-flow detection thingies, but I know a few people who own one. Maybe they'll let me borrow one for a few hours. Thanks for the tutorial!

Svideo is a downgrade. Genesis was made to be run on composite.

I had a ps2 slim that couldn’t play anything

Busy on a non-working Dark Vader, i landed on your channel! Just subscribed!

Hey @DV Game repair could you please help me with my pal region ps1 everytime i load up an disc it i din't load and instead it would boot up to the main menu i tried talking off the console to see if there's sour dust but non of it is there so can you help me plz Daniel schellingerhout ❤

Bro come back!

Is that an EOS hat?

Thanks Bro! Just fixed my Gamecube. Great quality video

Watching the barbaric amateur hour shit yall do to remove smd caps is horrifying. Get a pair of soldering tweezers and stop showing people in over their heads how to pull pads. Maybe im spoiled being a tech, or maybe yall need to step away from these jobs and let the professionals work their magic

well, in my case the ps2 90001 that i have does recognise ps1 games, but the problem cames that in the selection of data, i press the x boton on the play sitation disck icon, but then the screeen turns in black until the disk stops, can enyone helpme?

I have one gameshark that doesn’t work, it’s a countdown one. It’s version 3.3.0. I tried piggybacking with a working Gameshark and it counts down perfectly fine, but then when I switch to a key code on my working gameshark (Zelda Ocarina of Time for example), the countdown one does not work by itself and is stuck at 8 and doesn’t count down even with the Ocarina of Time cartridge on it. Is that gameshark on a different key code? Any help would be appreciated!

It's awesome to see another video from you!

Thank you from 2024! I was had the same problem with the drive in my 360 after I cleaned it and it turned out that little gold pin was bent. I don't think I would have ever figured that out if I hadn't found this.

This is often due to bad caps, and increasing the gain on the laser is just going to prolong the problem, and has a chance of wearing out your laser. Replacing the capacitors on that board is a better idea.

Amazing that SEGA didn't just set their Megadrive/Genesis systems at 10MHz (almsot twice the useful MIPS) and use 128KB of VRAM and 16KB of CRAM like the System C2 arcade board--4.096 colors out of 98,000 with 2x the bandwidth. The Sega CD+SVP would still be dominating the market to the late 1990s, almost matching the PS1 for performance.

Kinda like the ps4 where it reads ps3 discs but just refuses to play the format. But here's the weird part. The ps3 was released after the ps1 got discontinued worldwide but still plays its discs for backwards compatibility and the ps4 was released after the ps2 got discontinued 1 year, 1 month and 25 days before the ps4 was released in japan, in countries that use PAL the ps4 was released after the ps2 got discontinued 10 months and 25 days before the ps4 was released in other countries that use PAL, and in North America, the ps2 was released after the ps2 got discontinued 10 months and 11 days before the ps4 was released.

Do you still repair SNES'? I bought the soundboard you replaced on your video, but mine doesn't have it. If you do, can we connect so I can send you mine to repair? If not, do you know anyone in NY that handles these repairs that I might be able to connect with?

What size are the Phillips screws

Thank you so much for this guide! Still coming in clutch Spring 2024 😅

While S-video looks good, the genesis was designed around composite from what I remember. That’s why they do a lot of dithering for elements of highlights and shading

My mine won't work. I did the same thing over and over. At the right adjustment. I had to hold it a couple times for it to finally read the disc but as soon i hit start game it does the same thing again. Can someone please help me or tell me that is it part that i need to replace?

I built it using 1K resistors, as mentioned in the comments. It works, but the image is dark and blurry. The adjustment doesn't help. Any thoughts?

Me and my brother got our GameCube out for the first time in probably 15 years and it wasn’t working. This video perfectly described and fixed our issue and now we get to relive our childhood! Thank you so much for your help!

My PS2 will read PS1 games but won't get passed the loading screen.

Straight to the point! No BS, love it thanks man.

Is there a genesis mod that allows you to play pal and japanese games?
