I’ve been on pc for a year, gave my Xbox to little brother. Says it keeps turning off an overheating on which is weird cuz I never had an issue with and it ran great. Get it from him and turn it on and this thing sounds like a Boeing on take off just idling at home. After opening it up this is what I was greeted with, don’t know how he did it but I’d imagine it has to do with him being a huge pot head.
Unsure if pot is different... been a long while. I was a heavy smoker though, I would have electronics look a bit like the cleaner side of this picture. It's a sticky type of dust, very hard to clean off.
I still can't picture how bad of a place op's brother must have if this is the result of one year. Wild!
Wouldn't smoke make it turn that orangey-yellowy smoke tar colour that cigarette or weed smoke stain everything with?
Honestly with how this looks, I thought maybe it is from too much pet hair being sucked through the console... Which kind of worried me because I've got 5 furry critters. Or 6 if you include the wife.
I guess I should probably take a peek inside my console regardless and give it a dustin'
I have a ragdoll cat that seems to love nothing more than shedding his hair absolutely everywhere. I never thought it might be clogging up my consoles but will definitely have a look now. Thank you friend
This isn't from smoking. I'm an ex-smoker who is old enough to remember the "everyone smokes indoors whenever they want" days, I know what I'm talking about. This has neither the colour nor the residue that you'd expect from cigarette smoke damage. This is just dust.
It's from cannabis smoke and probably the lack of an air purifier in the room. Cannabis smoke doesn't produce the same sticky yellow residue in electronics like cigarettes do.

Especially if you live in a cigarette factory
