General Gaming / RE: Official "My GameCube is broke thread"
« on: August 21, 2006, 09:42:40 AM »
Me again. I'm having the same problems yet again. This time around though, I might have figured something out.
My newest 'cube I cleaned with compressed air and a vacuum with a soft brush attachment. It worked fine for about two days. No power problems. Then one night my friend came over and tripped over the controller wires.
My cube ended up falling only a foot onto the ground. Right onto the memory card port. The card was in there while it hit.
The power problems were back. Not only with one cube but my other defunked 'cube. The other had disc reading problems. I tried hooking both of my 'cubes up one at a time with either of the power cords. Both of them had the same problem they'd shut off after about an hour or sometime they would'nt turn on at all. I hadn't done the 'plug one accessory in at a time' method to finding out what the problem was. I made sure that both gamcubes were clean and working fine. Except the one, the one that had the disc read problem.
I kept playing with my memory card out, for fear of it going corrupt if it had shut off while I was saving something. I can't remember clearely if the power problems occured during the time the memory card was in there. But I do remember the 'cube shutting off everytime I though it was safe to plug the memory card in and save.
But today my girlfriend is bringing hers over. If I have power problems with that one then I'm going to test out my controllers and the cards to see if it is my memory card that is causing this. I'm not sure that a memory card can cause power problems though. By the way I forgot to mention what memory card I have. It's a black nintendo one it has 251 blocks of space on it. If I didn't describe it well enough PM me and I'll send you a pic.
Please don't tell me I have two broken 'cubes on my hands with the same problem. But if it is the memory card I'm going to have to buy a new one and then transfer all of my files to the new one without my gamecube shutting off.
I'm going to look for some answers on the official website.
