it does actually seem to help keep things running cool, obviously its not the best way but itl work for now

ive seen a cooling fan for $10 but was wondering if anybody had oppinions/suggestions cuz this is 3rd party and i dont exactly know where this would be placed on my system, ive checked ninentdo.com and they offer repairs but nothing specifically about the fan

Nintendo Gaming / Console trouble

« on: April 23, 2007, 02:18:28 AM »

lately my console has been shutting off randomly, i can play for about an hour, the power button remains down but the orange light goes out and i lose my game... so i noticed today that the fan isnt on, i never really noticed it before but im certain the fan is the problem cuz the bottom of the console is pretty damn hot and if i let it rest, i can play again

any tips? please dont say to get a new console, i already know that... its really not a big deal for me, i dont play games for hours on end anymore but i have a feeling im going to be looking at a dead gamecube by the end of the summer, what im thinking is to place a fan next to my system, but its so small! maybe i could place an ice pack next to the fan?
