GCp rebuilding thread

Post by Turbo Tax 1.0 »

my GCp is not functioning the way i would like lately so i have decide to take it apart and give it a better case and just plain put it together better. i can not fix the l button and sometimes the video will just stop (i think its because so it is crammed together so much and its bridging something b7ut i will be making a new case with the same mold but stronger bondo wish me luck i will probably start after i finish my SnespII and it will hopefully be finished in a week or two after that seeing as most of it will already be done

heh, that's pretty much what my GCp V1.5 was for :P. good luck, though :).

I know the pains a GCp can sometimes bring :'(....along with Zelda being pushed back a little more...well, it pisses me off :P!!!
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about the malfunctioning GCp, but I'm sure this new one will be even better. Hope you can get the problems straightened out in this next one, as it would be a shame to have to make yet another case. Can't wait to see it.

I may be intersted.........but i found a great deal on Amazon! 10 bucks for a Gamecube battery! That rocks! How much would you want, also, how would i be able to run my PSone screen and Gamecube off the Interact Gamecube battery? How would i wire it. This would be better, because right now, my GCp get weird life......like the cube dies first, then the screen dies hours later.... :lol: oh yeah, Your fan, you connected it to the Gamecube MB.........what pins do i hook it up to (if you are gonna help me with this, draw it, i dont understand text.....) And, I hope your new GCp case turns out good :wink:
