My Gamecube will spin up for a few seconds then stop and say "NO DISK". I cleaned hte head but no luck. Anyone have any ideas, other then to shove it up my ***, that won't fix it. How do I take it apart? I can't tell what kind of screws that are holding it together.
Thanks.

Hmm I wouldn't take it apart as it would void your warrenty if you have one.

Check whether Nintendo gives you a warranty or not, either by ringing them up or checking there website.

Although it does sound as though your laser is broken.

do not take it apart if you do not no what you are doing..... have you tried it with every game you have..... it may be the game..... take it back to where you bought it that would be the best bet......

**Dr Seuss** · Jun 10, 03, 09:22 PM

good idea.. sticking it up your *** wont do it much good

just go get a replacement from wherever you bought it. and if they say no then stick it up their *** cause most annoying little salesmen like it up the ***

Look Andrew P. and Monocojhr, stop with the gamecube comments, this person actually wants to fix it, not destroy it.

btw the posts arent there cause I deleted them

***Bankotsu*** · Jun 11, 03, 04:42 PM

what they said take it back to the shop

What where Andrew P & Monocojhr saying about the cube

Zyklon · Jun 11, 03, 04:47 PM

andrew saying he should shove it up his arse and monocojr said some **** like "yaaaaaaaaaay"

**Hornbog/Shaun** · Jun 11, 03, 09:25 PM

they aint that bad they are actually good.....

**Dr Seuss** · Jun 11, 03, 10:18 PM

2thumbs they are the most powerful console.. and who said that GC couldnt run halo? thats the most bull$hite ive ever heard in one sentance

Zyklon · Jun 11, 03, 10:38 PM

Okay we are talking about fixing the GC, not how good it is.

**Andrew.p** · Jun 12, 03, 04:01 AM

Alright, Alright try shoving it up Fatman's *** (kidding) It might be the game try a different game or get a new GC or even better get a Xbox or PS2 there is nothing wrong with them unless you peg them on the ground

Zyklon · Jun 12, 03, 05:37 AM

No I think he wants serious advice and I have given it to him.

I've been looking at my Xbox manual and they give you a one year warranty as long as you don't open it.

It voids the warranty. So I'm assuming the Gamecube is the same as long as you brought it within the past year.

***Monstergamer*** · Jun 12, 03, 02:39 PM

yes DONT

open it
i did that with my PS2
do not peel the sticker lol like i did

**Dr Seuss** · Jun 14, 03, 07:48 PM

woops got carried away there...
i think you should take it back to where you bought it from and have a chat to them

opening the GC will probably result in you being stuck with a broken GC without anyone to fix it or give you a new one for free.

**Andrew.p** · Jun 18, 03, 04:12 AM

Well have you taken it back yet :?

**meleemanfox** · Jun 18, 03, 11:00 AM

Don't take it apart, if you do, you void the warranty and Nintendo will just say to have a private company fix it for you. Lets say, hypothetically, you did. Your best bet is to send it back to were you bought it (you have to have the receipt), and say the product was defaulty. If you bought it from a small company, i.e. Funcoland, they can be a pain. Because, they don't want to lose money for returns. If that dosen't work just go to a place where they specialize in fixing Nintendo products. Or you could get a refurbished one: ebay.com

mosh · Jun 20, 03, 05:38 AM

don't try taking it apart. If it is still under warranty take it
back and see if they will replace it.

**Andrew.p** · Jun 24, 03, 05:21 AM

Everyone has been saying that, why don't you just bye a PS2 or Xboxlol

**meleemanfox** · Jun 24, 03, 08:35 PM

Good question. Well, if he get's his money back he'll go buy one;)
