How to Fix a Non Spinning Gamecube Disc

The Nintendo Gamecube console was released in 2001. The console, the first of the Nintendo products to use discs, features a unique design when compared to other consoles of its era. As with any device, issues may occur with the console itself or the discs used for the gaming experience. Nintendo's website outlines specific methods for players who are experience disc problems, a non-spinning disc being one of them. Different methods can aid this issue, depending on if it's the problem of the disc or the console.

Things You'll Need

Cotton Cloth

Instructions

- 1
  Clean the disc with a slightly damp cotton cloth. Move toward the edges of the disc instead of a circular direction. Dry the cloth and then repeat the process. Check the disc for scratches, damage or additional dirt. Try the game in another console and check Nintendo's Disc Replacement Policy to see how to replace your disc.

  Try playing another disc in your Gamecube. Repeat the same steps used for the initial disc if there is any sign of wear or dirt on the disc. Restart your console to give the new disc the opportunity to load properly. Check to make sure your games are official licensed products. Look on the screen for a "No Game Disc" error.
