    Default So, my Xbox just suddenly stopped working v. catastrophic bug in the system (pics)

    So, I just recently moved into my new house and I decided to hook my Xbox up. I plugged it in, pushed the power button, and nothing happened. Strange. I switched power cables; same result.

    After looking online for a few, I found a complaint that the solder would be disconnected where the power connected to the circuit board on the inside. I opened up my Xbox to find something even more amazing:


    The "dead" Xbox:


    Let's open her up!


    With the DVD player and hard drive out of the way, the motherboard and power supply are exposed.


    Power supply looks normal...


    Let's moved the power supply and......wait, what the fuck is that?


    Let's have a closer look...well shit, it's a fucking centipede!


    Oh look! The fucking centiped was the bridge between two points on the PSU's circuit board. Great!


    A closer look at the fried PSU board.


    Moral of the story: Even Xboxes have bugs.

    Its really no big issue to take apart as long as you remember where the screws went haha. I've taken apart my old Xbox before and fixed the "Disc Read Error" on at least 5 PS2's.

    That's a crazy ass story though haha.

    True, but I'd rather drive a 911 turbo on my Xbox than drive my real turbo in the rain. It doesn't see the rain, so I have to have something to give me my "fix" so to speak.

    Scared? No. I have AWD, so it handles the water better than most vehicles on the road. Now, do I want to get it wet, have rain spots, etc? No, not really. It's a $100,000+ car. It's not something that you want to abuse, fuckup, or get wet if you don't have it.

    By the way, there IS a replacement for displacement: technology by way of turbos.

    I would assume so... Probably during the move as I had the doors open and things were sitting outside for a short period of time.

    Dunno. I have a friend with a spare PSU, so I will plug it in and see if it works when I get ahold of the spare.
