I only recently took out my DC again to play, which hadn't been used in about a year but I kept it in its original box, and though it might have been this way but I just never noticed until now that my DC, after about half an hour of play, would extremely heat up. When I take out the game disc, the disc is burning hot and inside the surface of the system is just as hot. My DC, as well as other consoles, has always been played in dust-free areas and never played on a carpet. Nothing clogs the openings on the console. I'm just a bit concerned if my DC is starting to wear out. Even though I have an unopened backup, which I'm hoping I won't have to start using, I've been very fond of this one because I bought it on launch day.
And it's been working like a charm ever since. It's always been loud when loading, and I suppose the heat has always been like that. Should I be worried? And should I be concerned about the heat affecting the game disc?
Thanks for any input on this matter.
I've never experienced garbled graphics, and the only time it ever restarted by itself was when I once tried playing some emulated roms on a CD-R. I've stopped playing those since and have had no problems with restarting when I play regular game discs. Anyway, thanks for the reassurances. I'll definitely check out the mainboard to see if it's making contact with the aluminum sheet.
, dust finds its way into everything.
