Question, I tried checking myself but ended up at dead ends, is this to watch or to download?

[Colamisu]

It was once to download. Now it's just a relic of a forgotten age.

Well you haven't passed your initiation yet.

Strip nude, cover yourself in butter and run down the street yelling EP IS THE GREATEST. Have a friend take pictures then post them here. Razzing will end.....

You can give some to me...oh wait, you seem to only neg rep me.

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

Try harder.

Sure it is. It's just that the problems don't go away once they're no longer "new."

Unrelated, but I think I'm going to pop open this 360 and see if I can tell if it's been reflowed before. I know it was "refurbished," but that could be anything from wiping it with a damp cloth to replacing the innards with parts from a toaster. If it has, I'll give that silly towel thing a try. And then give up and get the other one fixed.

Microsoft will fix it for free if it's RRoD'd, unless it's been flashed .

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.

Unless the three year warranty is up, in which case you're sol.

Not worth the effort when you can ship it to them for free. They gave me a year warranty as well.

Mine was well out of warranty when I sent it in .

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 .
