Gamecube Media? No more g04???

[Bobby Bouché]

My qoob pro is playing up and i cant play my own backups that i bought. I have tweaked the pot via multimeter and still no joy. It does play the originals fine and dandy. So any one using newer media to burn their own backups??

I ended up buying a case so I could use full sized disks back in the day, but these days you'd be as well just getting a cheap wii.

Yeah i did the same mate. Got a full size case and it wont play any full size or small size disks at the moment.

Lasers goosed... Get a replacement from ebay.

Is it the laser mate as it still plays originals fine?

Lasers go weak reading from burned media, Originals are pressed so the laser reads it fine.

You could try new discs, what brand or dye marker id do your discs have?

Traxdata (Ritek) dye are the one I always used and were perfect.

Yeah if lasers dying then first thing it wont read are the copies/backups :-(

I have some verbatim and some mini dvd here that used to work fine but now wont boot and new burns also fail to boot.
I do have another cube here thats now modded and I just watched a youtube video of a laser replacement. Might get some disks first tbh some new traxdata i guess.

When i tweaked the pot i got it to 160,170,180.190.and about 200 and still no joy

Well swapped over laser from another cube and the laser no longer even moves pmsl....ah well at least i tried.

[Bobby Bouché]

All swapped and still the same problems. It wont play backups. Modchip seems fine tbh. Got to hunt some decent media.

I have G05s for sale in the BST if your interested? If you can't find it, I can re do the thread to keep within the rules.

Forgot to post back here. It was the media in the end. Can't believe it lol I swapped lasers etc and tried verbatim,but g05's sorted it out in the end.
At least i learnt how to change the laser
