Repair Attempt: Gamecube With Missing Parts. Bonus Second Gamecube That I Didn't Think Was Broken

Here, I start off trying to repair one Nintendo Gamecube with no video or audio, and end up trying to repair a second one with no power as well.
Note that I'm not a professional (in any sense of the word), and please don't mindlessly copy anything that I do.

Hey man, I have the exact same issue as your other GameCube board. Have you figured anything out on it? I don't see a dollow up video :( I don't believe it's a reballing the CPU issue, I just attempted to install a pluto 2ii on my dol-101, and now I'm having this exact issue. It was perfectly functional before, after a few enamel wires were installed it all of a sudden killed my GameCube, so yeah i don't think its a cpu issue. I think the AVE N-DOL chip on the board may have went bad, which is gonna be sad for me 😅 Edit: through trail and error with diagnostics, I've found that my fuse is receiving 12v but my power regulatory circuit is not functioning correctly, which is interfering with actually turning on the CPU & GPU, some sort of protection is tripped, and it cuts off the power to the coils in the circuit, cutting power to everything lol I believe this is the same issue as you, and I'm currently looking for the Power Regulatory Circuit schematics for the DOL-101 (Not the power regulatory board for the DOL-001) if anyone has em lemme know.

Hi there, thanks for the info. I do intend on re-visiting that GameCube again, but just haven't had enough time. I also did pick up another broken GameCube recently, so may possibly try to assemble a fully working one out of those two... hopefully. Let me know if you make any headway with those schematics too!

Sometimes, when a GameCube is suffering from overheating, the contacts on the CPU may fail. If all the components and voltages are ok, then perhaps reballing the CPU could solve the problem.

Thanks for watching. Not the news I was hoping to hear, but if nothing else works, I might make a video of me mangling a re-balling in the future...
