So my new controller has an issue with the joystick, however I don't think it's the joystick. Whenever I even push up in the lightest way possible, the controller thinks I'm holding the joystick all the way up. I tried replacing the joystick, nothing. I haven't even done anything to the controller besides open it, so there aren't any bridges or anything. Are there any solutions for this? I've tired everything I could think of to troubleshoot.

I think you are going to do great

Thanks.

Actually, never mind on the joystick, I got it working for now.

Okay, so I know people have had this problem, but I'm not sure how to resolve it. I'm using a 3.5" screen, and when ever I pull video from the A/V port, it doesn't work (hard wired in that is.) However, when ever I use the A/V cables, it always comes up on the screen. Oh, and I opened the connector, and there isn't a board in there. So are there alternate points I should be wiring to? Or should I add a resistance on to the composite line, etc. I'm using a Rev. C by the way.
Never mind, got it working. Expect a finished projects thread today or tomorrow.

Okay, I need help. My GC keeps shutting off after a random amount of time. No matter what I do, nothing works. I've switched from my custom switch that powers the screen and the GC to just the switch that comes with the GC, and nothing. I've checked for shorts, unwired my controller from the cube, and nothing. Could it be the power supply?

Could it be overheating?

Overheating was my first assumption also. When I finished my portable GC, it kept shutting off after 5 minutes or so, and when I opened it up I realized that the parts all packed into the case were preventing the fan from spinning.

No, it isn't overheating. I wish it was, it would be a much easier problem to fix. I just tested it after leaving it off all night, and it turned off after 13 seconds. It isn't the PSU either, because the screen remains on after the GC goes off. Any other suggestions?

I also desoldered my memory card, no dice.

Alright, seriously, what the Heck. I have NOTHING wired to my gamecube, and it still randomly shuts off.
Fixed, no thanks to anyone.
