[AGS] 👾 [023] - Is my Nintendo GameCube finally E-Waste?

Back in the day the Nintendo GameCube was considered a flop, but I had always a kind of soft spot for the little console. But a few weeks ago disaster struck an the optical drive in my Cube stopped working. Is it finally E-Waste now? Luckily nowadays there are alternatives for a broken discdrive, and I'm not talking about a "new" used part.
Join me in the episode as I try to breath in new life in my little GameCube (this time with some asmr disassembling)!
Hope you'll enjoy this episode! Rock on🤘
