Bricked Xbox...

[Chrono212]

...WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT?!

So let?s set the scene:
Warranty expired...check
Three red lights...check
About to be £199.99 poorer...check
One useless Xbox Pro and cables...check

Any ideas with what I should do with it? That includes destroying/selling/making art out of it etc. Go nuts

(Oh, and if you know about any good deals for an Xbox elite, that would be appreciated too)

EDIT: Apparently how to guides are good too so link and describe

Put a PC in it, micro ATX board with onboard everything should fit in the case.

 

[GhostPhantasm]

hack for parts, use profits to buy new one

i had the same problem with mine awhile back i just took it apart and fixed it my self it is actually very easy just google how to fix it you might have to buy a few supplies like a heat gun and a guide on how to fix it but it is def. worth it to try to fix

 

[DanielPowell33]

Turn it on and roast marshmallows.

But really, u can fix it yourself, its not that hard. Go to google and youtube for guides.

 

[Kud]

Open it up and put a cat into it!

THEN TURN IT ON!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Good advice, I fixed my 360 after watching a video where a hillbilly who looked like one of the guys out of Deliverance explained how to mod my 360 in a video lit only by a campfire. I'll try and find it.

Well 3 red lights means everythings wrong with it. I'd say take it apart and put it on ebay if you can't fix it. RRoD'd 360s do go on there for like £60 whole too.

 

[mikecoulter]

I say find a method of fixing it yourself and then give it a custom case...

How old is it?

Remember that Microsoft cover up to 3 years with RROD.

I checked, and it expired in 2008

Fill with petrol then *power on*. Best to do it from a distance as I'm not sure if the reaction would be combustion or not depending on the fuel/air mix in the 360.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

Pretend to be outraged in a Youtube video then film yourself dropping it out of a window and subsequently become a legend among PS3 fanboys.

 

[Sleekgiant]

Its time to DIY, there are many ways to learn how to fix it on the interwebz

Open it up and put a cat into it!

THEN TURN IT ON!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I did that and it was LIVE compatible

The RROD or 3 red lights are an unspecific indication of a general hardware failure, which could be caused by a fault in the power supply, and not the X-Box itself.

I got the 3 red lights, and then I realised that the power brick fallen onto it's side on thick carpet and wasn't getting enough airflow.

The X-Box detected a fault in the power supply and implemented the RROD to prevent damage.

All I had to do to "fix" the RROD on that occasion was unplug the power brick, check it wasn't damaged, and place it in a better position.

Go through the check list here before giving up hope and buying a new 360, you might only need a replacement power supply, or you might even just need to change sockets.

Thanks, but went through all of microsofts hoops and the power brick is fine, RROD is with the system itself

Make a robot out of it...or put wheels on the bottom of it and a wig or something on top and use a leash to pull it around like a pet or something, ha
