Console will not come on

Well I think that it might be the av cable thats causing the black gray and white
screen on the tv so you could try a new av cable.

I don't think so. The Gamecube disk tray is specialized for Gamecube discs, which are pretty small compared to regular game discs. Also, the Nintendo Gamecube graphics are modeled by ATI. Maybe some hardcore modding to your Gamecube, and it could work, but I have no idea for sure. Im not sure anyone had ever accomplished this, so honestly, you're going to know what you're doing to accomplish this. I know I wouldn't.

If you dont have a memory card, then you cant save your data, that is one of the bad things about discs. You can buy a memory card for cheapsies from a secondhand game store.

Odds are there was a power grid surge (especially given the fact that your son's is dead as well. Typically replacing the Ac adapter (power cord) will fix the problem, the ac adapter is designed to take the blow in the event of a power surge.

i know exactly what you need...

since it's obvious your son has broken it... i suggest for his birthday upgrading to the Nintendo Wii...
simply ask him how he feels about this to gather a group feeling about the situation.. check with the spouse, if any, in regards to this matter also!

:o) in the end.... happy happy

If there is a game stuck inside the system, nintendo will want to have it come in for repair so they can safely remove it and get it back to you, if youve had it with in a year they should do the fix for free. Give them a call and see what they have to offer.

The Intec Gamecube screen requires both a 12 volt DC input and the AV input. The larger connection is the AV cable which plugs into the back of the Gamecube console. The smaller round cable is the 12 volt DC input cable that goes to the power source for your screen. The solution is to either get the original splitter cable that splits the DC power to the screen and the Gamecube, or use separate 12 v DC inputs for each device. These original Intec splitter cables are rare and are not cheap, and the only place I have found them for sale is at the NES Repair Shop:

The only other solution is having separate 12 v input cables for the screen and the Gamecube. And finding the right size (very small) is also a task.

well try to find DS parts in EBAY...

and don´t try to power the DS with a broken display ´cause it can short-circuit another part of your DS...and make things go Bad...

good Luck!

Did you mod it? Check all the solder points. If not that, it could be the PSU (Power Supply) that's bad. You might need to replace that and you'll be good to go.

easy... depends. they have propriety screws, which take a special custom made screw driver to open. but after that, you're home free. You can find a tutorial on taking a gamecube apart in the following link - http://www.n-sider.com/articleview.php?articleid=197 Good luck
