The Disc could not be read: Ensure the game is inserted correctly. With the power turned off on the system, replace the Game Disc in the system, printed side up. Probably not so many people playing Nintendo Gamecube today (2018), but I still though I'd throw this into a little video just in case. Make sure to subscribe 😉 The reason for not uploading in. I picked up a GameCube that was said to not read game discs.

Here's how I figured out what was wrong and how I fixed it. Interested in the multimeter I used in this video? Here's the review I did. Go to your local grocery or drug store, get a bottle of rubbing alcohol for about a buck, clean the lens, leave it alone for a couple hours.

If you're still having problems, call Nintendo's CS line. #21 the_deej I'm making roffles 100%. It means the Gamecube can't read the disk. It could just be that your laser lens is dirty.

If the disk is tilted to one side, this is your problem.

Using plain, white toothpaste, rub a quarter-sized amount in a circular motion with your fingers on the disc. Cover the reflective side of the disc completely. The sad reality is that there is no easier fix. Your laser is wearing out, and the best way to fix it is to adjust the potentiometer inside the cube or just buy a new GameCube.

pop the disk in so that the title is lined up horizontally (or just remember its starting orientation), then try and play the disk, when it give you the error, open the lid and check the orientation of the disk, if it isn't the same as when you closed the lid, it spun If the disk isn't spinning, that's the.
