need help figuring out what this orange stuff inside my xbox is- safe to power on??
hey all, I picked up this xbox for pretty cheap, but later found a bunch of orange-looking stuff inside some of the vents/ports & around a few other spots. all photos past the first (kinda blurry) 4 are after i tried cleaning as much as i could out with compressed air & q-tips, and gave it a good dust down- but a good chunk of it won’t really come off.
not sure if it’s just old dust/grime, corrosion, rust, something worse,, or just stale cheeto dust. im also not sure if it’s safe to plug in and try turning it on as is- if it matters, i wouldnt be using the og old cable/power supply, i just bought a new one off amazon.
I attached a fuckload of photos, so hopefully theyre thorough enough to get some kind of answer-
does this look like something I should try to clean more before even attempting to power it on? any ideas on what the orange stuff could be & the safest way to deal with it would be really appreciated.
thanks :)
