recentley i have began to notice that when i put in a game into my 360, it thinks its a dvd then comes up with the screen that i have to put in an xbox360 format game. Now this is happenin on new games aswell i just bought resident evil 5 and smackdown vs raw 2009 happenin to these only got them today, so wot i done was gave the vents a blow(sounds nasty) and out came everything must be deoderant dust and all that i look on top of my skybox and thats dead dusty so im thinkin how simple is it to take apart the xbox to give it a hoover out and get rid of all this crap??? thought i would ask for advice first before diving in heid first

if its under warranty it would make it void and would you take a hoover to the insides of you PC , if not then a xbox is no different you can gently clean the dust with soft brushes and gentle blowing

Common sense is not as common as you think.

dude youve got 8 posts and 5 are those are new threads!! could you not ask all your questions in one thread?

As for the question, get an air compressor and give it a good blow.. :). i wouldnt touch it with soft brushes!! static would be the end of your xbox.. i wouldnt "hoover" it either.. you need the opposite, blow away all the dust. But yea make sure its not under warranty or you will void it by opening it.
