First you should clean the lens in the Gamecube. Do this with a soft white washcloth and water (there is also a lens cleaning solution but try plain water first). Afterwards clean out the disc bay with a q-tip daubed in water just to get contaminants out of the disc area. If it still doesn't work you may need to replace your lens. I've posted a link to a site where you can purchase one if you need to, if you choose that route just remember you'll need the little security bit to open up the Cube. Hope this helps

My wii gamecube cant find the thing to hook my gamecube controller in i put my gamecube game but it just pops out i had another one but that one was tore up so i got a new one but i cant find the thin

if the wii console is laying flat on the table/floor/wherever it is you use it, with the power & reset buttons on the left, open the flap on the left hand side of the console (hinged on the botton). You will reveal 4 slots for plugging in your controller

Avatar: The Last Airbender game for Gamecube won't play all the way through?

Holy C! I had the same problem and even bought a new system cause I thought it was broken! Turns out that the games are defective and there is no way to fix them. Now you can pick up copies of this game at your local Dollar Store! (NO JOKE!)

My gamecube messed up after trying to do a glitch on metroid prime i saw on youtube and it worked but when i went to save the gamecube make A click noise and then the black screen of death appeared saying...

Wait it could or might just be karma then. Never put cheat devices in your video game consoles because it can corrupt the system and mess up the console too. Play the games fair and square like I do because they still work and the machine doesn't want people to cheat either thats why.

The screen says the disc could not be read. See nintendo gamecube instructions for into. Don't have the instrucstions. trying to load Mario Kart double dash

this error message usually means that you cannot use this disc because it is either too scratched up on the bottom or it is corrupted by something. try wiping the bottom of the disc off with a soft non-abarasive cloth/substance and try re-inserting the disc. if that does not work you will need to try and find another copy of the game. whatever you do do not touch the lens inside the gamecube console because that will prevent it from reading any games

The game disk could not be read.

It sounds like the disc reader is dirty, it's the little clear circle right under where a disc would go, closest to the back of the unit.
To clean, open disc cover, locate the disc reader, use a dry soft towel or some toilet paper and gently wipe it off, sometimes even a little dust can cause a problem. This should do the trick. If it doesn't, then either the disc is scratched or the Game Cube has something wrong with it.
hope this helps!

My gamecube wont work

If you are getting the specific message, "An error has occurred. Turn the Power Off and check the Nintendo GameCube Instruction Booklet for further instructions." This means there may be an internal problem with the system.
  1. Check Individual Game Disc problems or Multiple Game Disc problems (depending upon how many games exhibit the problem) to see if the cause of the message is a dirty or damaged disc.
  2. If the disc appears fine or works properly in another system, this means there is an internal problem with the system. A repair will need to be set up. Please use our convenient repair options.

Well when i put the memory duo stick in the game says there no memory card

Try to turn off the consoles a few times. When the message pops up again, try to remove the memorycard into slot B.
When this also failed, than you bought a third party memorycard. Third party memorycards are not licensed by Nintendo and they can easily get corrupted.
