Thats odd. I left my GameCube running. No problems with my GameCube so far, but MAYOR problems with my PlayStation which won't read discs neither! I hope you get it fixed...
mine did that 4 days after buying so i smacked it off the rug and blew on the lens like no tommorow and it works fine id advise bliwing first cuz it might break worseif it gets smashed
Hmm, I noticed the left side of the GameCube (when it faces you) is usually boiling hot while the right side remains cool because of the fan I guess...
