When I power up my Gamecube, the light comes on then goes right back out. The internal cooling fan runs, but there's no picture or sound. What could cause this?

    Here are some steps you can try first:

    Make sure the Nintendo GameCube has good ventilation. For best results, make sure that the system rests on an open, flat surface. Avoid operating the Nintendo GameCube while it's on carpeting or inside an enclosed space.

    Check the vents on the sides of the Nintendo GameCube for a build-up of dust. The system will shut down if it cannot vent properly to prevent overheating. If there is a build-up, remove it using a vaccum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.

    But according to Nintendo:

    "If the power light flashes once when power button is pressed, then turns off and won't turn back on, the system needs repair."
