Any progress on this? I guess I have similar issue with 2 motherboards, no DVD and no video

Sorry for the late reply :D I actually still have this motherboard and now I killed another one apparently. Somehow the ZeldaXpro is still working but I never use it its too dangerous, now I have these 3D printed adapters from China. While trying to install Picoboot on a working MB I managed to loos...

You could try to dissemble it further and use electronic cleaning tools like alcohol spray stuff and check if any other ribbon stuff is damaged or something is loose. Otherwise just try to look for a console somewhere can be quite cheap. Othgerwise on ebay you can find parts quite cheap from japan b...

I noticed something with THPS3 and THPS4, the PAL version is designed for 50hz and actually runs slower. When I try to force 60hz on PAL game, the speed of skater is way too fast... But then I notice still the 60hz of USA version is slightly faster game speed than the 50hz PAL. But I got used to the...

I also messed up quite a few baords trying to solder the chip directly (I never managed actually). But using wires, I did about 6 successful installation. Your board is still functional but the Xeno most likely wont work on these pins. Try to google for alternate points on the other side of the boar...

Thanks! Since I had extra disc block drive I just swapped it. Now I have 2 extra optical drive boards, 1 dead laser but all my consoles are working

Hi all, I tried a xenogc install on a gamecube and noticed it did not play any game after that even originals. I forgot to test it before attempting the Xeno install. Since I have few gamecubes left and especially extra dvd boards (the PCB that hold the Xenogc) I decided to try out stuff. I swapped ...

Whats wrong with the Aliexpress ones? I have these and they work 90% of the time I would say which is great. These days I just burn Swiss discs for several NGC I repair and mod. I also found an old Viper NGC case so that it can read full size DVD :D No idea how much that is worth now but I paid like...

So I am back again... I received the power board but did not have time to install it.. Magically when I tested it with the old power board to make sure its broken, it started displaying video again (from HDMI external mod). So I am very confused now.. The zeldaxpro made the big shock noise, smell li...

Its a gallery of images there are both sides

Thanks!
I think i will try to solder on the pcb: http://www.honkeykongcountry.ee/2017/04 ... or-switch/

I have no idea when it happened, i currently have 7 cubes some broken some of so i just swap parts all the time and i never paid attention to this fragile part!

Hi! I broke the thing that I don't know what to call, please tell me how to call it so I can rename thread... Here are the pics of the pcb. i broke two of these similarly.. https://postimg.cc/gallery/3hJwrMF I think i would like to short sope of the pins so that the gamecube always think it is close...

I have had issues with one of my card (fake) that reported higher number of blocks than it actually had.. I made a backup on sd card of all my save using GCMM and then format the card entirely. The size was different and I was able to restore from SD (one by one each game). Otherwise you can use tha...

Sorry for late reply...

Here are a few pictures of my board:

Let me know if you have some clues!

Allright! I am back with some news. I received the Jap motherboard and when i swap it! No video output (digital). Then i decide to check if jap motherboard have issues so I swap with another PAL board, same thing! Now the only part that remain in the case was the power supply board (under the mother...

Hello, I have a original wavebird that broke about 10 years ago. Nothing really happened to it but the orange light just doesnt turn on anymore. There is no visible damage anywhere on the motherboard. I have seen a few discussions on reddit regarding repairs and some people suggesting that it is a f...

I ordered a japanese motherboard on ebay for 20USD so I will have no use of that broken motherboard. I will try to test analog when I have opportunity.
If someone is interested in that motherboard for parts PM me!

I will try audio output later today!

I think you mean potentiometer adjustment for the block swap? I think that not a proble, I can start high value and then reduce but now the disc doesnt spin at all

Salut! Thanks for the reply, Via the analog AV on the cube? - NADA Via the Digital AV on this cube (With another digital device)? - I ordered this, so it will take some time before it arrives, it should be better one than zeldaxpro ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000283753444.html?spm=a2g0s.90423...

2023 Update: I managed to kill 2 motherboards: 2020: Using zeldaxpro HDMI, some pins were moved while powered on so it smoked and burned something and video output did not work. 2023: While attempting PicoBoot, not sure what I did, but even after removing all wires and cleanup, the video does not wo...

I answer a year and a half later but professional collectors use hard plastic cases like there are in some videogame store, I guess they are pretty expensive but if the games are worth it, you can do that. On ebay there are some rare games in those boxes so you can take a look

Hello guys, im new in this forum, I have a xeno gc, i'll order a second hand NGC, I also ordered a shitty fake SD Gecko from aliexpress. Is there any way to do USB loading ? Also I have a big DVD case to use big dvd instead of the mini, can I burn swiss on a big dvd and it will work with the XenoGC ...
