A YouTuber from the popular channel Remedy Flips expressed similar sentiments while sharing a clip showcasing a GameCube. This gamer had managed to buy the classic product’s bundle, which was already used, for just $5. It’s because the original buyer thought that the console was broken due to its non-functioning power button.

However, the YouTuber of the aforementioned channel decided to fix this issue himself to see if there was actually a problem or not. To his surprise, the power button was in good condition and worked fine after he opened the device to check it thoroughly. Simply put, he just had to fix the plastic stuff by cleaning it and removing a bit of dust.

In the end, this player succeeded in making the $5 GameCube work flawlessly and by powering it on. He even mentioned that he could sell it now for $100 to make some profit, but would like to keep it instead. After all, who would give away such a classic console?
