Gamecube cracks
Have u guys ever really looked at ur gamecube and saw little cracks and top? i have 3 of them near the open button the power button and the reset buttoin and i have cracks on my controllers to there near the A, B and x button.
Now my Qeustion is... is this normal or not? and can it do any harm? or like grow any further? and the final Qeustion is have any of u guys got the same problem? |
Well, no that's not particularly normal. You don't happen to keep your GameCube in the freezer, do you?
|
No, mine don't have that problem.. though, my N64 controllers have the paint coming off in the analog stick bay...
|
Yeah, mine did the same thing after a few months. Alpha, I wouldn't worry about the cracks. You can drop most Nintendo products from 2 stories up and they'll be fine afterwards.
|
i doubt you can drop a gamecube from 2 stories and have it unharmed. come to think of it, you can't drop many things and have them unharmed...
|
I read in a Nintendo Power that a Game Boy game went through the wash, and a N64 game lasted a winter in Alaska. Also a Game boy fell 2 storys. It had some scratches, but it was fine.

I wasn't being literal, AC. But, Nintendo does have a reputation for building the most durable products on the market.

Better than PS2's, my freind sent his in to get fixed, and it took half a year for them to send it back, and it cost something like $150 to fix it.
|
i know someone who dropped their gamecube down a concrete driveway, and now its got a huge crack in it.

|
I dont have that problem yes you should get it fixed.
|
yea, its under the platic covering
|
If it's just cracks on the casing, it's not a big deal. You don't plan on going river rafting with the thing, do you? I didn't think so.

The PSX was awful about that. The track for the laser was originally made of plastic, and because the console wasn't as well ventilated as it should have been, those tracks had a tendency to melt. That's why so many people who still own Playstations from '96 or '97 have to stand them on their sides so they'll read the discs.

i got a n64 with a shitload of games and i dont use it anymore, what can i do with it?

Okay Alpha_Omega, I took a good hard look at my Gamecube last night, and I was able to a few very faint cracks under the surface of the plastic. They were all in the places you described yours as being. Those are nothing to worry about. When plastic hardens, there are places where the stress on the casing is greater and there will undoubtedly be small, harmless cracks because of it. They will not spread, they will cause no harm, they are nothing to worry about.
I thought you were talking about plainly visible cracks on the very surface. That would be abnormal. |
