If I had to take a guess on the blue SP and why it was so sticky, it looks like it had one of those overlay stickers on it. You've probably seen them before, cheap stickers people use to wrap consoles with so they look "cool" like I know a friend that has a Wii but he bought some like Bakugon sticker set for it that fits the top and sides of the console. I'm guessing it had that and someone took it off, you can kinda tell by the way there's a perfect square where there's no residue around the speaker.

I'm sure you're aware, or others have commented, but you can easily adjust/turn up the laser power on the Gamecubes slightly using a screw on the inside of the console, and that usually solves the disc reading issue! I had my childhood Gamecube which I thought to be broken for like 8 years, until one day I did just this, and it worked right after! I'm glad I held onto it, haha!

Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!

I recently bought a new Nintendo 3ds xL and it’s pre owned but I plan to keep it in shiny condition by cleaning it every other day of the week.

Could explain why it’s grimy either that or being stored away for so long and dirt/dust got gathered on them? 😅

I assume they were likely used by young kids. Nintendo consoles are aimed at families so there are often lots of very young kids using them. I had a DS when I was like 5 years old and I was the type of kid who was very careful so mine was well taken care of but most little kids don’t really understand being careful with that sort of thing. I really want to go find my old DS now. I don’t know where it is but it’s probably somewhere in the attic. I would be surprised if there was any scratches or anything on it, I kept that thing in a case 24/7.

for the disc read errors you can try to adjust the resistance being sent to the Lazer. there is a small screw on the disc board that can be adjusted very minimally. using an Ohm meter. the result should be around 200to230 ohms I believe. check KZbin for others that have fixed this issue.

Your 001 does have a couple advantages though: Pixel response time is much better than on a 101, so games can get faster before you get lost in the motion blur. And, it's more of a question of preference, but the 001 has the same somewhat washed out colors of the original GBA, and that's what the games' colors were designed to be shown on, so some games look oversaturated on a 101 -- but of course that might be a plus depending what you like.

GBC & GBA often have that problem with their power switches. It either doesn't work at all, only when in the right position, or makes the power light go red or cut out randomly. The problem is corrosion in the power switch, probably from being carried in a pocket and getting sweat in there over time. The fix is to take it apart, put a couple drops of isopropyl rubbing alcohol inside the metal-and-plastic slide switch mechanism for the power switch, and then push the slider part back and forth a zillion times. The same applies to crackly / cranky volume dials and sliders. The same MAY apply to the DMGs, but in my experience those don't get cranky nearly as often as the newer models that used smaller switches. AGS-001 vs 101 is very easy to tell without turning them on or looking at the sticker: 001 screen looks light like a GBC or GBA screen when off. 101 screen looks black like a modern LCD when off. Also the screens from some of the poor-condition DS Lites could probably go into the better condition ones with bad screens. The "lots of gunk" SP may prove to be in the best condition -- SP shells ALWAYS get TONS of scratches on the lid. The gunk means there was probably a skinb covering it for years. At least if someone put it there to decorate and not to cover scrapes, that skin will have protected it! I'd take it all the way apart and use a gentle gunk remover like Goo-Gone on the shell. DMG situation seems simple enough: Assuming the 2 that don't worn aren't fixed with a little cleaning, pull the screen lenses off them and stick them on the 2 that work but don't have a screen lens.

You could practice on cheaper stuff. But yeah, it definitely takes some guts to open these things up and risk it all when trying to fix stuff (some stuff is pretty easy, but it can definitely get pretty difficult)

That gunked up blue sp has an obvious glue residue from stickers that were peeled off. Quite obvious when you look around the speaker area with no residue with straight lines around it.

One thing I would mention is that disk drives on Wiis are hard to fix, my Wii disk drive broke about 4 years ago, I tried cleaning the laser and replacing the laser afterward, I think if it were to be fixed, I would need to replace the entire Disk drive Along with the motherboard and all the stuff on that

For additional fun, there's a hidden feature a mod can make use of specifcially on the DS Lite, that can output composite video either using an external board or through the headphone jack. The mod just wires a pin from the top screen to a DAC chip to convert the composite signal to analog that can be fed to a TV, and there's a modified firmware that activates the hardware feature. This can be used to make a GB Macro that can be used normally, or use a TV to display the missing top screen.

good score man, though it does sound like you are going to have fun with shell replacements. you probably will have better luck than I did with the ds lites, I tried replacing the shell on one I had and basically destroyed the thing as murphy's law took effect. luckily I was given another eventually that was in better shape. but yeah I am just going to stick to the older gameboys for now when it comes to redoing cases.
