Unplug that controller and try it.
Well so far so good your solution works Bert, how did you know that it was the non-nintendo controller that did it? Will the problem persist if I use that controller again?
Because I had the exact same problem about a year and a half ago xD Power light shut off, picture was gone, system was still going though. I figured it out, and then all was well.
To my knowledge, yes, if you plug that controller back in, you will have the same problem. I tried that with my non-nintendo controller 2 months ago, still happened << So you're down a controller, but the good news is your GC isn't actually bugged ^^
Thank you very much oh man I never would have figured it out your a lifesaver
lol, np. Glad I could help. Glad I'm not the only one this happened to xD
The lesson here folks? Non-nintendo equipment may seem cool at first, but it will come back to bite you one day >>

Third party memory cards. D: Corruption.
What is it that makes it break like that though? That is just weird... :S

Nintendo sabotage?
>_>
i dunno, but i actually had the same problem as well, after i yanked my controller hard accidentally- with the controller in and without me pushing it in, the GC just shut off. if i started up the GC without it in, then put in the controller, it shut off. weirdness :$
Maybe third-party assesories uses a little bit more power than first-party assesories. At first the assesories wouldn't effect the system but, constant use of the third-party assesories may take it's toll on the system causing a malfunction.
