It was once to download. Now it's just a relic of a forgotten age.
Hm, I make fun of nemesis more than anybody here (at least when I'm here), and I never got neg rep from him.
Maybe it just goes over his head.
His tiny, tiny head.
Actually, I have no idea where I'm going with this.
Maybe a small penis joke? Eh, too much effort.
I'll go with simple then.
NEMESIS IS DUMB
Despite the reaction, I struck gold.
HEY, I KNOW THINGS.
RRoD's are really simple soldering problems. You can easily just re-solder some contacts by yourself with no experience. That's why those myths like 'wrap it in a towel until it overheats' actually work (sometimes), since it would melt the solder and re-aline the contacts.
Hey, look, Nemesis learned about pyrite. Yay for 3rd grade.
Not if it's over three years old.
Not really a "simple soldering problem." It's the balls they used to solder the GPU/CPU onto the board. China (where they're manufactured) requires lead-free solder, but lead-free solder sucks balls. Generally you're supposed to use a reflow station to melt the solder and remount the chip. If you did it with a soldering pen you'd probably do much more harm than good. Same thing with the towel trick, really. But it's not meant to be a permanent solution.
But yeah. Like I said, out of warranty and once repaired.
At least 360s are cheap :wacko:.
