GameCube is broken

My GameCube stopped working awhile ago, presumably from me leaving it on all day. When I turn it on, I don't believe the fan turns on because I don't hear anything. The disk that is in the drive also does not spin when I turn it on. Does anyone know a way I can fix this myself, or will I need to send it in and pay Nintendo to fix it?

you're probably better off getting a used GC than buying sending it to nintendo and getting it repaired.

You could always pick up a Wii since the Wii can play GC games.

Sometimes it's just little details that separates a great and not so great answer! Here are a few simple tips to keep in mind:

Be complete and thorough. Don't skimp on the details!
2
Try not to answer with a question. Because that's not really an answer, right?
3
A little research goes a long way. Back up your claims and assumptions!

Try to be patient, tech questions can be complicated.
