    • Remove the blue wire by gently pulling.

    • Don't pull on either the wire itself or the connector attached to the board.

    • Disconnect the brown cable. This is done by gently pulling the black tab away from the white plastic. This will loosen the tension on the brown cable, allowing it to slide away from the tab gently.

    • Remove the four Phillips #1 screws connecting the circuit board to the optical drive assembly.

    • The fourth screw is located behind the screwdriver in the third picture.

    • Release the small clip holding the board down.

    • Gently remove the circuit board (the large green square) as shown in the three pictures.

    • DO NOT SEPARATE the red wire or the white ribbon cable connecting the circuit board to the metal plate.

    • Red Wire

    • White ribbon Cable

    • Use a flathead screwdriver to release the two clips located on the back half of the drive assembly.

    • The final clip doesn't need to be released; the top half of the drive assembly will slide away from the lower half.

    • Finish removing the top half of the drive assembly from the base.

    • Be careful not to detach the red wire or the white ribbon cable still attached.

  16. Optical Laser Lens Power Adjustment: 手順 16、 2の画像 1 Optical Laser Lens Power Adjustment: 手順 16、 2の画像 2
    • Once the top half of the drive assembly is detached, turn it upside down.

    • Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, carefully remove the three final screws near the lens assembly bars.

    • Extract the final three screws and remove the lens assembly.

I don't understand why you have steps 11-17. In step 10, you can clearly see the board with the screw that needs adjusting. Taking apart the rest of the GameCube is utterly unnecessary. After following the guide in full, I thought, 'Why did I just dismantle all that other stuff when I didn't even NEED to?'

Once the assembly is removed from the metal covering the board, it is a simple matter to turn the screw to increase the laser strength. I did this after my initial adjustment didn't work. I ignored steps 11-17 and everything works perfectly now. My old games which simply would not load, now do. Thanks for the advice leading up to step 10 though. That part was helpful.

I wouldn't say it's a quarter of a turn, a few degrees clockwise do the trick. I tried a quarter of a turn the first time and it made the disk unit useless as it didn't recognise any gamecube disk.

Thanks for the detailed pictures! I was able to get everything taken apart, and fixed the read error I was having after a couple of readjustments.

One important note: the lens screw should be turned counter-clockwise, not clockwise. A quarter turn is also likely to be too much; better to adjust a few degrees at a time and test repeatedly until the right setting is found.

gameFAQs.com has a lens calibration guide, with notes on how to reassemble the GameCube for testing without screwing everything back together.

I also agree that steps 11-17 can be skipped, as well as step 5 to remove the controller ports.

Steps 11+ are definitely not needed and 1/4 turn is more than 200ohms, way too much. It has to be moved by a hair (almost literally), the potentiometer is extremely sensitive. And I would personally recommend some form of multimeter, as to not go turning that screw blindly.

Great guide, this fixed my problem. Would like to be clarified if you need to follow steps 11-17 make the power adjustment.
