What can dust do to an Xbox 360?

What affects will dust have on an Xbox 360? Will it just overheat and shut down?

My Xbox 360 S was a bit dusty. I dusted the outside, but I'm not sure how it is inside.

I don't want to take it apart as this seems complicated, and services in town that clean Xboxes are way too expensive ($100+).

Should it be okay, or are there signs if it is too dusty? It isn't powering off from overheating.

Ok thanks, could this be caused by dust? If so I think dusting my Xbox 360 it might help it, what do you think could that help?

I have a cousin who's never cleaned his Xbox 360 and it still works fine.. I do think dust can cause problems with the disc drive if the laser somehow gets a lot of dust on it, though.

Friend is your xbox 360 slim or fat? see if it is with dust and wipe it but do not let the dust get inside the console, clear the cache and see this as your internet connection in your residence, because when the error internet can also lock the console

For overheating issues, you can check to be sure that your Xbox 360 is in an open, well-ventilated environment. If it is, be sure to check the vents for dust-build up. Dust blocking those ports can definitely result in overheating.
