  • Question
    How does dust slow the console down?
    Community Answer
    Dust reduces cooling by insulating internal parts and restricting cooling ports. Computer hardware is most efficient when it's running cool.

    What if the disc icon is not showing?
    Community Answer
    Check to see if the disc is scratched. If it's not, try cleaning the lenses that scan the game.
