Panasonic Q No Disc error

[eretsua]

i pretty much always get a No Disc Error on my panasonic cube. i'm using 4 different but all original and mint Japanese GC games. as it's a region modded machine i also tried it with the USA bios & game as well but no luck there either.

anyone an idea of how i can fix this? tried looking on both the forum & google but couldn't find much.

thanks for your help,

What does it do when inserted other media (for Pana part), like CD, VCD, DVD?
If there's also an error on these, it'll have something to do with the drive itself, otherwise it might be the switch or other GC-only part...
Check this first, then you know what error to look for afterwards.

How old is it? If this is a brand new console that's just been modded then I'd worry about that, but if it's been used a while and has just spontaneously started exhibiting these symptoms then I'd guess an issue with the drive (dust on the lens, misaligned laser &c).

A Google for "no disk error gamecube" brings up many results, BTW.
