What do i use to get the screws out of the gamecube?

You need special security screws bits to open most nintendo products. (These are available on ebay, amazon and good retro video game store)

Well you could buy that part from eBay then or kijiji

Your Gamecube reader lens may be dirty. Take some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip and rub it lightly and carefully on your Gamecube lens. If this does not work, it could be your Gamecube discs. Sometimes Gamecube discs can get worn out, and no longer work. Another possibility is the reading lens is completely broken. You will have to buy a Nintendo Game Bit tool to open your Gamecube, and replace the lens with a new lens that you will have to buy. I hope this helped.

THe disk is most likly damaged sorry u might have to get a new game

Well that depends if your trying to play gamecube games on the gamecube or the wii?, i assume your doing it on the wii because anyone would know that a wii control wouldn't work on a gamecube, not impossible, just very hard

wii remotes do work with the nintendo wii on wii games and on gamecube games, but it is better if you use a gamecube controller and plug it into the to holes under the flap, pictured below, hopefully.

Sounds like you need the Gamecube sensor switch replaced. That is a small door device for detecting when the Gamecube DVD door or lid is closed allowing disc initiation to begin. When your Gamecube doesn't detect disk at all and simply continues the message: "Please insert a NINTENDO GAMECUBE DISC," this is the problem. You can test this by inserting a game disc, opening the Gamecube door, and then closing it. If the message "Please insert a NINTENDO GAMECUBE DISC" remains unchanged, and there is no spinning of the disk, then your GameCube lid closed door sensor is probably broken and should be replaced. You can search Google for Part GCPT032, or for GameCube Lid Closed Door Sensor.



An easy fix if you know how to open the Cube. It's cable simply plugs in, and it is held by one tiny screw.

Odd that would happen. Must have been a really hard crash on the ground.
Usually the Gamecube can handle more of a beating.
Though I'd expect the disc drive to go out for the controllers would.

All I can think of is that the controller ports where knocked out somehow. Perhaps even just the cord that connects the ports to the rest of the system was knocked loose.

The only solution I can give is to open the Gamecube and see if you or someone can reinsert the wires or resolder them.

I don't think it could be anything worse than something being forced out of place like that.

Could also be a severed wire if a piece bashed into it somehow. Though desoldering the old wire(s) and soldering a new one is sometimes easy enough.

If all else fails you can also find a replacement part.
These can be a little pricey depending on the site and hard to find so make sure search around a good lot.

Oh and as for opening the console itself, well, it requires semi-special tools.
Some security screw screw driver sets have the right shape needed or one close enough.
You can also find screw drivers sold as "gamecube repair screw driver" at times as well and can be rather cheap to buy.
They seem impossible to get but they are out there and ya never know when you just happen to have one that'll work.

I hope this helps out some.
Good luck with the repairs.

maybe it broke because you wet it

Yes you can play gamecube games with no emulators. The memory card slots and controller ports are located on top.

This is simple. Just open up the GC controller by unscrewing the screws on the back. When you get to the front, take the buttons out and clean them. If it still doesn't work, that means your button pad is torn and you will have to buy a new controller.
