the last one i bought was the nintendo game cube... and it worked great until this past week..... i used it more in the past 2 years than all the previous i can;t even rmember how many years i have owned it.... it;s one of the ways i have been surviving the multiple lock downs of this pandemic.... .....but now.... when i turn it on.... i get a chime and a message that there is no game disk in the machine... ... but there is a game disk in the machine..... . the lazer lens is just not reading it..... plus i also don;t think the disk turner is spinning either.....
but anyway..... i looked online and apparently this is a common problem with the nintendo game cube once it gets old.... .it has an adjustable resistor deep in the heart of the works, that regulates the amount of ohms.... (whatever those are)..... that flows into the turning and reading devices..... i found multiple youtube videos that show in precise detail... step by step... how to disassemble the machine... measure the ohms... and make an adjustment...... it;s going to be like performing machine surgery... and i have to order specialized tools that fit all the weird nintendo only screws.... ... but i am going to do this.... .....i have to do this....... ....or else buy a new nintendo of a newer model.... (which i have not heard good things about).....
so.. i am studying these videos until i can repeat the process in my sleep.... and i am going to begin when the tools come in..... i once took a course at community college on advanced bicycle repair... plus bought all the books and tools required.... so i would be able to maintain and repair my own bicycles.... . so i do know a little about turning nuts and bolts.... ....and we already have a diagnostic machine in the automotive tools box that can read ohms...... a few of them actually of different sizes......
so we will see what happens........ .......
more to follow............... .
