michael, you are not very descriptive about what is going on with your game cube. The first thing you could try is to increase the power to your laser. Follow [guide|1484|this guide.] Just be moderate, you do not want to burn it out. The other thing to try would be a recalibration of the lens. For that follow [guide|8766|this guide.] After that I'd suggest to replace the optical drive. Hope this helps, good luck.
