Free bump for the {{DEMON}}. I laid out $440 for a Halo LE Xbox with a 250 gig drive in with an X3 installed. I was too lazy to mod my own, so I bought from {{DEMON}} in an earlier thread here. You can find it if you search {{Demons} threads, but that thread is closed now.
I got the Xbox and it looked sweet. {{DEMON}} threw in a bunch of free stuff to boot that I didn't even ask for. He just tossed it in. The problem was it fragged the second after I powered it on (no flubber, no service screen), and after testing the pins, pin #5 showed virtually no voltage (all other pins good). I desoldered and resoldered the pin several times and got better voltage, but nothing close to 3.3 volts which is what was causing the frag I am sure. It must have suffered some travel damage, even though it was packaged well.
{{DEMON}} stayed in close contact, and sent me another 1.4 MB within a few days. I got it on Saturday, installed it, and I mailed the other one back to him today. It works perfectly now.
{{Demon}} went out of his way to make sure I was happy, and I really appreciate it. He was a real professional and made sure I was happy. For anybody that is thinking of dealing with {{DEMON}}, keep this in mind. He is one of the best people I have met on the scene. Buy his stuff. He is as good as his word.
