anyone know how to fix power button on gamecube?

Hi, my gamecube's power will not stay on when the power button is depressed. Do you think it is something I can fix easiy myself? I was quoted a price of 55$ to fix, but I can buy a new one for double that!

 

just open it up and have a look some times a lose wire is inbetween the spring and mine and it cant click into place so just have a look coz 55 is a bit to much

 

Thanks, I will as soon as I rig up a bic screwdriver. Sometimes the button will stay depressed but the orange light goes off, you think it might be the battery inside Ive heard mentioned?

 

i think that battery is just there for the internal clock. but it worth a try

 

Yeah, the battery is only meant for the RTC (real time clock). The one in my DC is long gone it still works fine. Just have to set the date everytime it's unplugged or the power goes out.
