Power board for GameCube: replacing the failing part
On a GameCube that no longer switches on, the internal power board is a regular suspect: it receives the current from the power supply and distributes it to the console. This replacement board fits in place of the original one on the DOL-001 and DOL-101, in a USB-C version or a DC version.
What it does
- Replaces the original board: a new part in place of a tired or damaged board.
- USB-C version: the console is powered through a USB-C connector instead of the original socket.
- DC version: an alternative to keep power via a DC plug.
What it doesn't do
- No power supply or charger is supplied: the board is sold on its own, in the chosen version.
- For the USB-C version, not all chargers are suitable: the GameCube needs a higher voltage than the 5 V of a basic phone charger. Contact us before buying if you have any doubt about your charger.
- It does not repair a fault in the motherboard, the disc drive or the graphics chip.
- It does not fit the Wii or other consoles.
Compatibility
GameCube DOL-001 (first series, with or without Digital AV port) and DOL-101 (later series). Not compatible with the Wii, nor with the Panasonic Q model, whose internal architecture is different.
Skill level required
Intermediate level. You need to open the GameCube with a 4.5 mm Gamebit security screwdriver, remove the original power board located at the back of the console and install the new one in its place. Always unplug the console and let it rest before opening it. Opening the console ends any remaining manufacturer warranty.
In the box
- 1 power board, in USB-C or DC version depending on the chosen variant
Neither power supply, charger, cable nor screwdriver is guaranteed by the supplier: plan to provide them yourself.

The job: reviving a GameCube that no longer starts
When a GameCube stays off even though its power supply works, the power board at the back of the console is one of the first suspects. You open the shell, remove the original board, install the new one and close it up again. If that was where the fault lay, the console starts again with a new part.
The part: two inputs to choose from
The USB-C version replaces the original socket with a modern connector, handy when the original power supply has gone missing. The DC version keeps power via a plug. Both are aimed at the GameCube DOL-001 and DOL-101 and are sold on their own: plan for the power supply suited to the chosen version.
Support: check before opening
Before ordering, check that your original power supply is indeed at fault or missing, and that you have a 4.5 mm Gamebit screwdriver. For the USB-C version, send us the reference of your charger if you are unsure: our customer service replies within 1 business day.

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace
It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.
Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.
A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.
The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.
We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
