Need a replacement Gamecube "Open" button...

Post by sabrage »

So two of my Gamecubes had stuck buttons, and I decided to open them up and try to fix them. The good news is that one of them is working perfectly now... but unfortunately the other button was pretty beat up and I accidentally broke it when I took it out. I wasn't able to find the replacement part online anywhere... Can someone point me in the right direction? If not, any tips on making a resin cast out of one of my working buttons? I guess I could try supergluing it back together, but if possible I'd rather just get a new button. I really don't want to have to buy a "for parts" Gamecube just to fix this one small thing; I mean, I do have two working Gamecubes so I don't want to spend more money on this than I have to.

If all else fails, keep an eye out for some one on this forum or other forums that has a Gamecube for parts. Some times, guys will already have a parts console that they'll be willing to sell you a part from. Post a wanted thread for it to try and find what you're looking for a little easier. Chances are if some one already has a busted Cube, they wont mind selling you the open button. And probably for real cheap, I would imagine. If I had a parts Cube, I'd give it to you for free plus shipping.
