We recently purchased a lot of Nintendo Gamecubes and a lot are giving us
disc read errors. The system will boot up, disc spins, and the laser moves
and then the Gamecube will either say that there is no disc in the
machine,
or that the disc can not be read. Does anyone have any suggestions or
information on this problem? I've already cleaned the lense so it's not
just dust.

Was this an eBay-type "lot" of Gamecubes. Is this perhaps why they were
on sale? I think you've got an alignment problem or electronic problem.

Are you equipped to handle electronic issues or are you armed with just
a screwdriver and a package of lense cloths?

I've never opened one, but if possible (connectorized) I'd be inclined to
do the "field-service swap" and swap "known good" components until
it worked. Then you'd know what works and what doesn't. If you can't
repair them all, maybe you can mix and match parts to cobble together
good units out of several bad ones.
