Recently, I've been having problems with my Gamecube. Background info: My Gamecube is purple. The model number is DOL-001, U.S model. No mods. I don't know if any of this makes a difference, but I thought I'd provide it just in case. My games are relatively well handled. My mom puts my games in because of a physical disability I have. They are hardly ever left out, only occasionally scratched or smudged. Lately, on my favorite game discs, the message, appears after only a few minutes. If anyone has seen this problem before and can help me, please reply. Your help is greatly appreciated. [bold]Sincerely,[/bold] a desperate gamer
Here's instructions that I wrote "how to clean cube's laser lense" open the discdrive's lid and look for the tiny laserlense that's the one you're after if this doesn't fix the issue the problem is mostlikely with the cube's electronics Cleaning the laserlense you need 1x q-tip and some rubbing alcohol available on local drugstores a dirty laserlense can cause these problems so.. take some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip add some rubbing alcohol to the q-tip and sweep gently the laserlense with the q-tip notice use fair amount of the alcohol so that the q-tip ISN'T dripping of alcohol, too much might damage the cube internals if drips of alcohol is applied. then use the other end of the q-tip to dry the laser lense BE gentle! do not add any pressure to the laserlense Pete
