is there a safe way to remove the black nintendo gamecube faceplate from top of the console?

Posted Tue Dec 09, 2008 9:02 pm:

i have a couple of spare gamecubes, one is model number DOL-001 (first and early model with digital a/v) and the other is model number DOL-101. i managed to pry off the black lid from the 001 model with a very small needle tool type of thing. if anyone ever tries this with their own gamecube, lift it out from the right side (controller ports facing you) because it's held in place by a plastic tab on the left side.

however, nintendo really made the DOL-101 models very cheap! the black "lid" is a mere sticker affixed the the top of the 'cube. so, these two models are not interchangable.
