Topic: Gamecube wont work????

[THE_BLINK_EFFECT]

I only just bought a preowned Gamecube from EB about 5 months ago it worked great for the first few months by the 4th i inserted my copy of Star wars:rouge leader in to the console went into the Gamecube menu and it said Disc error or disc read error anyway then i tried super mario sunshine and it worked fine??( both games were in mint condition) is the laser dying or are these games faulty?

hey just replying to that post

thats like the first time i have heard this.....

1. check how old the gamecube is

2. were u playing a game before u inserted the rogue dics

3. check the rogue disc for scratches.........or u may have inserted the disc, not fully into the gamecube disc holder...if u have a scratch...take a light tissue and wipe from the middle>out

4. your laser must have been worn out

5. probably your gamecube just had a "hic-up"]

P.S thats just about all i could give u.....hope its fine now

If the room your GC is in dusty or smokey, then the laser that reads the disc can get clouded, and therefore won't work properly. Make sure your Cube isn't stored on carpet (the ventilation can suck in dust) and it has enough room for the ventilation to work properly. When mine was bad, I used a reverse function on a vacuum cleaner to to gently blow into the ventilation area (blowing with your mouth will release small saliva droplets), and it's worked fine ever since. Hope it helps.

Mine had that same problem.  I just went to EB with my old gamecube and my GBASP and traded it for the Zelda bundle pack(with the bonus disc with four zeldas games).  They didnt even check to see if the freakin cube worked, anyways Im happy now.  Its back to good ol' nintendo gaming.
