No power to Optical Drive

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

Hi there,

The disc drive on my DOL-001 GameCube has stopped working and all of the “usual” fixes don’t seem to be working.

I don’t get any disc spin and the laser doesn’t turn on when the lid switch is pressed.

So far I have tried:

* Adjusting the potentiometer
* Check the power board fuse (no issue)
* Switch in a known good optical drive

The known good optical drive has the same issue so it seems like the issue is on the main board or power board. Is there anything else I can look at to try and diagnose?

I’ve fitted a picoboot to the main board which works perfectly and the disc drive was working before and after I fitted this. It has just suddenly died completely.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
