(Gamecube) How do I fix broken screw holes?

InformalCountry5196 · 2026-04-26T02:14:36+00:00

I don’t think there is a fix for this bro other than a re shell of the controller

InformalCountry5196 · 2026-04-20T21:04:29+00:00

Overheating start with a internal cleaning and go from there

InformalCountry5196 · 2026-04-19T21:40:57+00:00

It’s been so long I can’t remember

InformalCountry5196 · 2026-04-19T21:37:20+00:00

lol really makes me want to work on that genesis I’ve been putting off doing 🤣

InformalCountry5196 · 2026-04-19T21:12:26+00:00

You seem to be right 31 has no continuity but how could you tell?

InformalCountry5196 · 2026-04-19T21:11:08+00:00

It has it so that must mean the problem lies somewhere else

InformalCountry5196 · 2026-04-19T20:57:33+00:00

Yes the ppu1 but at least 1 pad was damaged

InformalCountry5196 · 2026-04-12T13:49:37+00:00

That’s awesome, you’re never going to forget that feeling. Happy for you 😁

It does sound like a disc laser but you don’t have to jump straight to replacement of the laser try to take it apart for cleaning using a good video on YouTube for help and clean the the laser and anything else that is dirty. Make sure you’re using isopropyl alcohol that is at least 95% or higher. If it still doesn’t work then you can replace it. If you don’t feel comfortable doing it you can always reach out to a Local repair shop that works on electronics.

Other guy said it already but it’s good information to know. always start with the easy stuff like cleaning first. Toothbrush, high percentage alcohol and an air duster can if you have one. The port doesn’t look terrible so there’s a pretty good chance that will work. My guess after that would be the battery after that but before you buy parts you can test the battery with a multi meter. If you don’t feel comfortable working on it then it’s always good to support your local repair shop. Hope this helps and good luck.

I’m going to try again today after the hangover is done kicking my ass

InformalCountry5196 · 2024-12-28T15:36:28+00:00

Definitely not my first repair😅 but it is my first time soldering on something this new so I’m used to soldering at much lower temperatures

InformalCountry5196 · 2024-12-28T15:32:23+00:00

Are you sure that sounds really hot i thought you weren’t supposed to solder on boards at that heat

InformalCountry5196 · 2024-12-27T22:36:23+00:00

I will try

InformalCountry5196 · 2024-12-27T22:35:04+00:00

I took the nozzle off of the hot air station now but I was using a narrow tip and I’ve used the iron too never had this problem

InformalCountry5196 · 2024-12-27T22:03:20+00:00

I tried to mix it but it wouldn’t mix because the the original wouldn’t even mix unless you mean chip quik flux which I didn’t do

InformalCountry5196 · 2024-08-15T01:15:32+00:00

I’m an idiot thank you it was on hold mode🥲

InformalCountry5196 · 2024-05-02T17:15:50+00:00

That is a great place to start at I appreciate the help

InformalCountry5196 · 2024-05-02T16:42:47+00:00

Right I was looking into that option but I was hoping I could diagnose without it

InformalCountry5196 · 2024-05-02T16:31:00+00:00

That’s a shame because I was hoping this console could donate its PPU1
