What is wrong with this GC & How can I fix it
« on: January 12, 2006, 11:01:47 AM »
Hi
My sons game cub is not working right
it is a year old little over but well loved by 4 children ages 2 (no the 2 yo does not put stuff in it, on it etc he has supervison while playing - age 9
I have tried Brand new and old games
here is what is wrong with it

1. Turn on the gamecube you see the little cubes turning into a big cube that part works fine
2. When its susposed to play the game nothing but a black screen no sound either

What I have tried to do
a. Tried to clean lens with q-tip
B.  Take disk out Turn on game system and go to to game play
it tells me no disk is in it so I put a game in it and close it it then tells me the name of the game i put in and tells me to press start, I do so then another Black Screen no game, no sounds

There is no funny sound while starting it up

Is it garbage or can it be fixed

There Gameboy advance SP has also gone Black screen not taking a charge

Please help me out here got some ticked kids who want to play there new game they got today now LOL

TIA

Call Nintendo at 800.255.3700 - they're good about getting stuff fixed.

Also, never, ever touch the lens of the GCN.

It seems as if you have a problem that you won't be able to fix by yourself.

As UncleBob said, call Nintendo and explain what's going on.  They're really good about backing up their products even after the warrenty expires.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

There's your problem. The Xbox has been known to spontaneously explode competing electronics in the same room. You should get rid of that before you get another GameCube.
