I was gonna send the Xbox 360 in back in January cause I got the 3 rings of death,It is out of warrenty and will cost $100 for them to replace it.

I would probably have to reregister it for shipping from your address and such.

I just went last night and got a new one instead since Best Buy is closing them out for $149....and with summer coming Joe can have something other than gettgin into trouble to do that way.

I have the power supply,and some other stuff,no controller or harddrive.....but I am giving it away guys......small apartment and too much crap in boxes everywhere to be able to even move around at this point.

Asw good as you are with your hands.. maybe this will help before you give it away..

Your gonna laugh but I got it to work.......I baked it in some towels and it came back on and is working.......I will still probaby be getting rid of it though.....gonna use it the next few days and see what it does.....lol

 

ill take the hard drive

 

can i have it? i repair electronics and had to sell mine for a down payment to get my tc.

and the towel trick only works for a little bit and will make the unit worse. the reason why it works in the first place is the boards soldering fractures from certain traces on the chips(manufacturing defect)... the towel overheats the solder and makes it temporarily reflow (to a degree i suppose)...

problem is it will burn up the traces from overheating. so the only real fix is to take it apart and improve the cooling after re flow soldering the boards.

 

Pete it is yours........sold for free to Pete........

 

yay! can i at least get you a case of beer? lol

 

yeah......

 

cool man pm me with an address and a time to show up.

 

i can still have the hard drive and fan thing right?????? u promised
