Title: GameCube Busted..... any suggestions??
Post by: Barto on January 12, 2004, 09:34:04 AM
It's a stretch, i know, but maybe someone can help...
My basement flooded last night (Damn winter!) and left my game cube immersed in about a half inch of water for a while. I woke up and realized this, and took it upstairs to dry. So i let it dry for a few hours, then plugged it in and fired it up. It works initially, but it makes a high pitched whistling sound that gets lower and lower (like a bomb dropping) and then craps out at a certain point. After this, it won't work at all for a few minutes, but if i give it a break it will do the same thing again.
Does anyone know what this might be??

Hahaha that pretty funny. Yeah I would have to jdub there. Grab a new one since they are like 100 USD a pop these days...
Note: Go beat up old man winter with a bat that has the said gamecube attached to it with a rusty nail.

it's a long shot, since you already turned it on. (bad idea by the way. should've left it dry for a couple days at least. if not a week) if you have a self-defrosting freezer, wrap up the gamecube in wax paper or something, and throw it in there for a week. great little trick with electronics. as the freezer does it's "self-defrosting" it takes moisture out of the freezer. probably your best shot.
