I was wondering, have you ever experinced(with your Gamecube) When turning it on and the CD won't spin. Then that menu pops up after the Gamecube Logo spins around and you push up on your analog stick and their's a question mark where the game's name should be, and it says "no disk!!!"
I was wondering this because it happens to my Gamecube alot and it takes a few trys to get it going and spin the CD, and I don't understand why!!!
Thats the major problem with top loading disc trays, After awhile the little latch that holds the cover down wears down and gets harder to keep in place. It just recently happened with my Ps1 and the way I dealt with it is just put a book or something on top of the cover.
Hmm... I'd really be more worried about tray eject systems. General rule of thumb being the more complex something is, the easier it is to break.
Most problems with the lid seemed to have been in first and second generation PSX's if I remember right. I had a newer model so I lucked out there.
As for the gamecube problem... if your system is new (or at least still under warranty) I'd get it returned. I've never heard of anyone having that problem, and if yours has been that way from the start, then chances are your gamecube got dropped a couple times before it got put on the shelf.
My idiotic sister put the game in crooked once. I had to pry it out with my finger.... took 4 minutes.... And thats a long time to be getting out a disk. never the less, I never let her touch my gamecube again.

Now it starts up fine when I put a book on top or the lid
