GameCube Disc Drive Repair
Disc Drive not reading games and already tried multiple discs and cleaning the laser? No problem!
How to diagnose whether you just need your capacitors replaced or both the capacitors and laser.
Bad Capacitors
Disc still spins and laser still moves, but game is not read (tries for 5 - 10 seconds then fails)
Discs read the longer the GameCube has to warm up.
Bad Laser
Disc does not spin as the laser does not detect a disc inserted in the disc tray (fails almost instantly)
Guaranteed to fix your disc drive and keep it running for years to come!
