Hmmm maybe you should check the ribbon cables or more importantly look into the power supply. If you look closely the fan is directly powered from the ac adapter port so the ac adapter is working right. Well the red and black cables should power everything else so the could be an issue with power supply or power reaching the system. Though one question I would ask is how did it stop working? did it fail during a lightening strike with no surge protector or did you use one of the hdmi gamecube accessories and moved it too much and accidentally fry your switch?

Hello,

I have attempted to repair a gamecube myself and ran into a game read issue myself. After looking around I decided to get invasive and stripped to its basic parts. After days of examining it there was nothing wrong except for the laser. I have a hunch that the laser lens was toast so I tried cleaning it. The laser still ran basic protocol and stopped after three zips. After a few months I decided to buy a new laser and replace it and after fiddling with it time and time again it is in working order again. [TIP NO1 try color coding screws with some kind of paint of colored marker or you will lose a lot of screws like I have. NO2 Do NOT unscrew the motors because it is almost impossible to screw it back again. NO3 Pay plenty of attention but be sure to have a video or song playlist running if you have to get invasive. Other then that you are all set and I wish everyone good luck

I need help because my game cube laser seems to keep forcing itself into the plastic and after the second bump it gives up. There is not way that could be laser and I am hoping that it does not have to do with the smaller batteries inside. pls help
