Reassembling the gamecube factory lid

So you were screwing around and unscrewed the spring loaded eject on the top of your lid, and since you're not mechanically inclined, you can't get it back together again

Here's a tutorial I put together when I was trying to help a person solve this exact problem in another forum:



First, here are all the parts:


The spring assembly, the gear, and the lid hinge holder (labeled A, B and C for your pleasure)

And here's the case lid:

Now, place Part A into the case like this:

Basically, you're going to then put the top cover into the case upside down and fit part A into the cover. The long piece of the spring will match the groove and the round hinge will fit into the hole on the case. When inside, and together, piece A and the cover will look like this:

Then take part C and fit the nub into the hole of the case, then screw it down with a screw:

Take part B and make sure the raised part with the hole is facing to the right and insert it on top of the gears of part A:

Make sure part A and B are aligned:

Push part A down and match up the screw hole with the 2 pegs. Once secured, put in the screw:

Once you've completed those steps, your lid should be working again!

that should save a lot of headaches! thanks.

Anytime I'm trying to take pictures every time i do something and just make a tutorial for the hell of it. I was going to do one with my Qoob Pro install, but I didn't have the time.. oh well, maybe next one.
