So i bought a very old Xbox 360 on a garage sale and when i test it i saw the fan not spinning and there's a lot of dust in the console. Do u think the dust is the cause of the problem?
I tried but it doesn't fix it it's still not spinningIt very well could be, especially if it has been sitting in a humid location allowing the dust to solidify/harden sort of like "dust concrete".
Try cleaning and see if that resolves the issue.

It's Xbox is alive and play able fan is the only problemAre there any indicators of "life" being shown by the Xbox?
ThE FAN spin but only 1 time then it stop after few times of tryingSounds like you need a replacement fan:

The old fan spins only if U keep shaking the 4 wires of it and if U stop. It will also stop from spinningTry a new fan. Not sure what else you can try at this point.
So the easiest way is to replace the fan?then the connector is likely bad, not the fan, broken wires can be fixed or replaced.
For the cost, that would make the most sense.S
