Fatal Error #02

[infertility]

It was the cover. Nice guess. For some reason when I remove the cover, everything worked fine, but when I put the cover back on, (without screwing it back on) I would get that message. Even if I slightly put the cover back onto the machine, I would get that message. All my solder points are accurate. So I wiggled the chip itself around slightly, and tried putting the cover back on. Now everything works again. I lightly screwed the cover back on, not tightning it too hard incase of crimping the wires, which is what I think I did it in the first place. But everything now is working fine.

EDIT - I know now completely what the issue was. It happend again to me, so I started investigating everything. It delt with the eject button. In the far back of the gamecube, there are two thin pieces of plastic, which are the lid sensor. Now, I had the top cover off, and I turned on the gc, with no problems. Now, I held the lid sensor down with my finger, and the message came on! Now, I looked at the piece the connects from the chip to the original gc lid sensor wiring, and noticed that the motherboard for it was slightly making contact with the metal shielding. I decided to take the flexwire for the gc programmer, and set it behind the motherboard for the lid sensor wiring. I turned the gc back on with my fingers still pressed on the lid sensor switch, and it booted fine! I screwed the case back onto the gc, and tried booting it again, it booted fine! So, there's your "Fatal Error #02" It deals with the lid sensor.
