Quake3World

(don't tell me to get an xbox please!)

I got a few weird clicking noises and tried to clean the lense. Now, it doesn't do anything. I don't get any error, just won't recognize a disk at all even with a cleaned lense.

Any help? Any sites I could visit with info?

What did you clean the lens with? Don't tell me windex :lol: :lol:

I used pure alcohol and a qtip.

EDIT: actually scratch that, it says "Ooops! Multi purpose remover." Smells like alcholo though.

You've melted the lens retard. Grats.

Melted the lense? You sure. I've used similar alcholo stuff on the PS2 lense before.

Try killing yourself.

I though you only had to use a special CD with bristles on it to clean a lense.

Take it somewhere to get fixed :E

Ok you've melted the plastic contact lense-esque part of the laser. Grats.

How can you be so sure that stuff melted the lense? Just curious. Gonna buy another one then

There is no reason to clean the lens with any cleaners, shouldn't be. Keep the lid closed and it should be relatively free from dust/lint or anything else. I used one of those 'cleaning cd's' with bristles on them like bitwise mentioned once on my psone, since then I haven't bothered, didn't need to really.

place a few cd cases under the front or side of the unit. to stedy'ize the head useing gravity.

if thats the prob , that'll make it play

Oh so it can scratch the lense?

Fuck no..


Rubbing alcohol.. 90% or higher..

Didn't fix it. I noticed, though, that the oddly shaped plate in the gamecube (Note: the stuff that's white in this picture http://consolecase.com/v-web/gallery/al ... k_open.jpg ) can be pressed down a bit, as if it is too far up. Mmmm. Btw, is there supposed to be a tiny recangular hole in upper left corner of what's white in the picture?

that looks like a toilet for little kids.

Is the disc spinning?

The part that's white in that pic presses down on my GC too, and mine also has a small rectangular hole, but it plays fine.

it's screwed, only option is to get a xbox.

The disc is not spinning at all it seems. The laser readjusts itself to about the middle of the railway (2x clicking noise) everytime and that's that.

I tried "tightening" the grip thing with push on it.
