Nintendo Gamecube
I ran into a strange issue with my GameCube and I'm curious if anybody has seen anything similar before. The audio drops out every second or so. The weird thing is that it works perfectly fine on some boot cycles even after hours of gameplay and then pops up during other boot cycles right from the beginning. It's pretty random but it always either happens right from the start or not at all. It occurs with games from disc and games from SD card. Maybe faulty capacitors? A wonky power supply (mine is an original)?
I know that this isn't a new mod or anything, but I just took pictures of the process along the way anyway.  After desoldering the old battery, you can put in the battery holder. It's just a slight bit to wide, so you'll have to bend the tabs inwards.  Just solder it in afterwards!   And that's basically it. Put in a new battery and never worry about the systems clock anymore :)  
I guess I could research but I thought I'd ask. I had a silver GC back in 2002-2004 and around 2009, my dork-ass brother mailed my GameCube to a friend across the country because he wanted to play an online game with him. Obviously I'm never getting it back, but I still have all the games and it would be cool to play them.
If you're unfamiliar, it loads games via the same port as the broadband adapter instead of a SD card. Some games will run better compared to SD cards due to how Swiss has to load games via the sd2sp2 adapter.
   
Looks like a lot of cool features at a reasonable price.
