Call Nintendo at 800.255.3700 - they're good about getting stuff fixed.
Also, never, ever touch the lens of the GCN.

It seems as if you have a problem that you won't be able to fix by yourself.
As UncleBob said, call Nintendo and explain what's going on. They're really good about backing up their products even after the warrenty expires.

There's your problem. The Xbox has been known to spontaneously explode competing electronics in the same room. You should get rid of that before you get another GameCube.
