Nintendo — GameCube
This silver Nintendo GameCube (DOL-001) was recapped twice. First its optical drive PCB, to cure a disc read fault (on these consoles it is usually the caps, not the laser). Later, a full mainboard recap, which kicked off the campaign to recap the mainboards across the whole GameCube fleet. Razor-sharp Tetris blocks to celebrate.
(1/5) Gamecube maintenance day. Replacing the caps on the optical drive PCBs. Started 4/5 drives dead, now 5/5 work. Huge success! Thanks @leonkiriliuk, I think it was in one of his posts that I read that the laser isn't usually the issue, it's the caps. #RETROGAMING #restoration
(2/5) These 3 just needed the capacitors replaced and they immediately started working fine. #RETROGAMING #Nintendo #CRT
(5/5) One big happy family. All of them now have working drives! #RETROGAMING #Nintendo #gamecube #restoration #repair
Today, I give you... razor sharp tetrominos! This begins the journey of recapping the mainboards on all my GameCube consoles. #retrogamming #Nintendo #GameCube
Making sure the downstairs matches the upstairs. #Nintendo #GameCube #GameBoy #GameBoyAdvance
