Installed a qoob PRO, starts up, but black screen.

So when I boot up, the screen flashes, fan starts and nothing else happens. Is this a problem with the video cable, or did I do something wrong with the installation?

I accidently burned some of the protecting plastic of the wires, but only into half melted/ black state.

What should I do?

 

might want to tape up those wires. install might not be correct as well. Check your solder points and make sure everything is taped off ( you don't want any wires making contact with the heatsink) and that you have no dry sockets or bridges (i'm not trying to offend you or your soldering i just don't know if this is your first time). also, disconnect the chip and see if your cube boots normally still. if the cube still boots normally then it is problem with the install. if you end up wanting to send it out to get it reinstalled let me know, i install mods. also feel free to pm me if you need more help. good luck.

 

Okay, I'll try that later today. I'll post the update then.

 

I had this problem earlier. Putting a piece of tape over the solder joints under the heatsink fixed the problem, but then I ran into another problem: the power joint came off without me noticing. Check for the green LED on the qoob chip when you turn the Gamecube on. If it's on and there's still a problem, something probably came in contact with the heatsink. If it's off, something's up with the red wire.

 

Managed to get the joints covered, but the red wire came off. Also before starting when I tried to boot my GC, I noticed that the disk wasn't spinning. Any idea what's causing that?

 

Exact same thing happened to me XD Fix the red wire, make sure everything is tightly put back together and you should be fine

 

You had me thinking you might have damaged your GameCube when you said you burned up the insulation on the wires...

 

Nahh, the only thing that might be damaged is the mod chip. Took it off after being frustrated and the GC works, so I hanev't broken anything yet.

And one funny thing, before fixing one of the wires, the green light was on, but after fixing the other wire, the light didn't turn on with the GC.
