Greetings!  I recently aquired a system that is about a year old.  Up until now, it has done just fine.  Suddenly, when I insert a disc, is says no disc.  After several tries, I MIGHT get it to work, but not usually.  Any thoughts, or places I might go for help?  Thanks ahead!!

Something similar happened to my friend's Gamecube. . . he replaced it, and his new one is working great.

Hi and welcome to the boards.




I don't have any thoughts but a reliable place you can go to is the Nintendo service and repair hotline.  It's usually on the back of instruction manuals.

My game cube has the same problem. It takes like 5-6 tries and moving the actual console around to get it to work. what's the model number on your gcn? is it DOL-001(USA)? I don't know if that has any meaning, but maybe every system with that # is defective? I've had mine a little over a year and this started happening too.

I've never ever had it to happen and my system is just over a year old. It must be a defective part with the disc drive. You can still get Nintendo to replace the Gamecube. Contact them and they'll have you send it in. They'll ship you a new one I'm pretty sure (anyone else know?). You just have to send the console itself in. They'll send you a new Gamecube console with a controller. In other words, you may get a free controller out of it.

actually, first you should try calling nintendo.  they have REALLY nice service people.  My GCN was just about a month over a year old when this started happening, and the lady just extended my warrenty for another month. So i just sent it in, 1 week later, for free, it was back, in black (well, actually its indigo, but...meh)

Mine did the same thing last week. Freaked me out!!! After pushing on the internal part (just under the arm that olds the DVD) it works fine now. I hope that it's gonna stay that way.
