Well I still haven't gotten to try it out. I just got done moving and I'm still unpacking and organizing everything. I'll come back on here and let you guys know how it all works out when I finally get around to it though

I'll be honest and say that I've never actually soldered anything before haha. I know some people who can do it for me though (or I can learn). Anyways, here are some pics (sorry the chip is still on). Maybe this will verify what Prog is saying. If I'm still not taking the pictures you want...

I'd like to mod my 3rd party rumble pack so I don't have to use batteries. I remember there being a way to solder the battery wires somewhere else, but I can't really remember (I watched someone do it when I was 8 or 9). As the brand-name sticker was peeled off before it was in my possession...

Sent it in a PM a couple hours ago. Figured I'd come here and thank you again

Hey, the guy I bought it from has a 7 day return policy ;) I'll take you up on it if you're serious dude. I'm pretty low on cash so even saving a couple bucks would help

It doesn't really look as if it has any "bubbles" on the chip, and the soldering looks good as well. I did end up buying a replacement fan (found one on eBay for $5). If replacing the fan piece doesn't work I guess I'll think about finding a different GCN :(

I bought a GCN from a thrift store for $8 (came with an off-brand controller, and Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly). I found that when I got it home and tried it out all went well, except the fan sat motionless. I can play for a good 30-40 minutes and then the GCN will overheat and shut itself down...
