100%fix For Any Xbox But Will This Void My Warranty?
« on: March 14, 2008, 10:41:00 PM »

Well as you all know my Xbox Elite dvd drive broke. I ordered a Brand new one, switched the PCB boards, that didnt work,flashed the new drive with my old drives key...nothing worked just kept saying "open trayunseccesful with getting help. So when it  said open tray I got so mad that I did exactly that...I ripped the dvd tray off my brand new drive, with that done I calmly un-pluged everything, picked up my xbox and threw her over my shoulder giving the old speech "don't worry its better this way....no no no its not you its me" carried her over to the kitchen which I tiled last summer so it was nice and hard and picked it above my head and screamed %$!%^ MICROSFT !%$%@ %@$!$@ $@$! FOR ALLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and smashed it repetedly on the floor. I swear all I saw was red...when I came to I found my xbox on the floor in about 30 pieces. so I jumped in my truck and drove to the gamestore and asked the clerk for a new Elite. he gladly accepted my money and sent me on my way with a smile (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ...as I was walking to the door I looked at him and said "If this doesnt work, I WILL be back" well his frown turn upside down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)  and he replied " Its brand new of coarse its going to work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) "  So I set it on my front seat threw the seat belt around the box (SAFETY FIRST!) Plugged it in and WTF!? doesnt work, nothing doesnt even turn on! So I jumped in my car (alot faster than my truck  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)  drove back to the gamestore and slammed it on the counter and explained to the scared looking pimple face teenie bopin store clerk about it. He practly ran to the back and grabbed another from the shelf. Any way I got home and plugged it in and YAY it works perfectly,played a game. so I looked back at my old one her hardware still bleeding on my kitchen floor and screamed "SEE THIS IS WHAT A REAL XBOX DOES!!! IT WORKS!!!!" A while back before I voided my warranty microsoft sent me a box to send in my console and I realized I still had it so just for fun I put the 30 or so pieces in the box and filled out the little checkbox saying "disc wont play, no error" and put a note in there explaining further what I thought was wrong with it  saying I think its the product you are selling to people that is crap. took it down to UPS and sent it away....dont worry I sent only the console in to avoid any inconvinence to MS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj282/Nyxzimus7000/XboxFIXED001.jpg)

O my goodness this is hilarious. I have always wanted to try this. Like I wanted to buy a 360, swap its case for a clear case. And put the warranty sticker on the clear case and see if they would take it. But this is even better.

My elite just started giving me the RRoD.  I can play it for like 10 minutes, then it just freezes, upon restart it gives me the RRoD.  I was so sad and pissed off until I read this thread, and I cannot stop laughing.  Freakin genius my friend.  Please do update us on what happens with this  laugh.gif
