Nintendo — GameCube
A bit of an identity crisis: DOL-001 board in a DOL-101 shell, transplanted there many moons ago. Optical drive recapped as part of the GameCube maintenance day.
(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
More GameCube maintenance ongoing. This one is a PAL model DOL-001 which I transferred into the shell of a DOL-101, many moons ago. Testing with the toughest game of football you'll ever know, Mario Strikers! #RETROGAMING #Nintendo #GameCube
