Title: Need to seperate the GCN mobo from plastic base
Post by: MrShag on February 15, 2003, 04:43:28 AM
Hello.
I want to paint my GCN and for that, I need to seperate the plastic base, to be painted, from the GCN motherboard. I ripped my GCN to pieces but stopped at the final step because I couldn't find a way to seperate the base from the mobo.
Has anyone done this before? Because I would really love to paint my GCN.
Thanks everyone.

Nah, I saw your post, I just refrained from comment, as I didn't have anything to add. I would never take apart my GameCube, except for maybe sometime to clean/replace the cooling fan. I gotta admire your bravery though. My GameCube is too precious to me to risk it.

When I took mine apart to mod it, I didn't have any problem removing it from the base.

How did you do it?
I tried to remove all the visible screws and lift the mobo by the metal edging with a flat screwdriver but it did not go off even if I was pulling pretty hard.
