Ok, now im getting pisssed.

I was in the middle of Metroid Prime 2, and I just beat the super bomb boss. I saved, and was going to go get some more powerups (ah, the best part of any metroid game). I got to a certain area in the dark world, and I shoot the door, but when i get close, my gamecube starts spinning the disc up (faster, I think), and then I hear it go click, click, click; (I think only 3 times, but maybe 5) then it tells me that there was a unknown error, and I have to turn off the gamecube and follow the instructions in the booklet. Well, I don't have my booklet anymore (I know, always a good thing to hold on to, but I wasn't thinking) and I tried the door 2 more times, the same thing happens. I need help, because I want to beat this game, but I can't get past this part.

This problem also occurs on Metroid Prime, but where it happens in there, its farther from a save, so I don't even try anymore. Oh yeah, also on Spiderman: The Movie, but I don't like that game as much, so I don't care as bad.

The problem definately isn't a scratched disc; I thought it was for MP1 and Spiderman, but my MP2 disc is immaculate, no scratches whatsoever.

Not only that, but, I cleaned the lens with alchahol and a q-tip, and now it won't even recognize that there's a disc in it.

Is this the infamous gamecube faulty lens problem? If so, I found a guide to fix it, but if it's not, I don't want to screw up my gamecube trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.
