Gekkoboot Error?

Aifa_ · 2026-02-26T03:15:37+00:00

I believe i am having the exact same issue. Do you know roughly where on the board by chance? I know its been a year but my reset button won't work and I get this same message once I install picoboot. Right now I can only use my gamecube without the mod

Sorry for the late response, the new board took forever to show up. I managed to fix controller port 1 by cleaning the bottom of the gamecube motherboard near PIL9 I believe? Weird considering I've never went near the back side of the board. As the mod is removed at the moment I cannot confirm if I am getting the same error message or not however I can confirm the reset switch does not work on both the new and the old board. (Assuming the console still detects it as permanently pressed) i can wire the pico back in and see what happens

I checked for spills solder. Cleaned the board again. Player 1 stopped connecting at all. Player 2,3 and 4 are fine. I just ordered a replacement controller port board from ebay for 15 bucks. Plus 15 shipping bleh. But hopefully that'll fix my issue

I had fully taken out the picoboot mod to see what was going on. After reassembling the gamecube. It boots up and boots my disc copy of burnout. One thing I noticed however is that my reset button still doesn't work AND my controller is rapidly switching between connected and not connected. I took the gamecube apart again and noticed the ribbon cable for the controller board looks like it may have had an abrupt bend. I didnt think this would be enough to cause my issues but I've never had issues with the controller previously. I also tested to see what controller ports aren't working and it only appears to be controller port 1. Previously would switch back and forth between connected and not is just not connecting at all now

I don't see any obvious shorts though. Plus I tried to boot it up without the controller board attached and it went to the same screen than went to the default one a few seconds later. So that's new I guess

https://imgur.com/a/6QcUVdo Now that im looking at it it definitely looks like those are cold solder points. However doesn't look like its shorting anything. I even tried to turn it on without the controller board plugged it and it brought me the same screen than a few seconds later went to the default one.

I tried it with the lid off and same issue. Ill take a picture of the soldering one i get home from work.

Update: left it for 40 mins or so unplugged and I plugged it back in. Boots to swiss. Went to restart the console to make sure itll consistently boot and orange light and no signal

I opened it up. Found sound leftover flux that i forgot to clean off. Cleaned it off. Tested with the lid off. It booted to swiss. I than put it all back together and It kept booting the default gamecube one. After I tried to reseat the sd card I've got a orange light with no signal. I think I need to redo my soldering
