I recently pulled my GameCube out of storage to try and put some life back into it before eventually getting a dol-001 to mod. It was having trouble reading discs last time I used it and I knew sitting wasn’t going to make it better. When first hooked up it didn’t even detect any discs at first but lowering the pot was successfully for a bit. It eventually went dead again so I bought a new laser off eBay. Just finished installing it but it also isn’t reading discs. I have the pot all the way down to 150 but still nothing. What I’m wondering now is there something else wrong with my cube, or did I just happen to get a dead laser out of the box? A new laser is cheaper than a replacement optical drive assembly so I would hate to but one if don’t need it. I could return the laser and try another one, but it would also suck to get a second laser only for it to not work either.
I’m pretty new to the Gamecube seen so I don't really know much yet . Any help is appreciated, Thank you
