How much for a dead 79 board?

[LovePancakes1]

HEY, THIEF WHERE IS MY TSOP FLASH OFF OF MY BRAND NEW 79FL BOARD I JUST SENT YOU THAT IS BROKE NOW!!

DID YOU FRY THE TSOP BECAUSE YOUR STUPID AND DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING?? YES I THINK SO!!

WHY DID YOU SEND ME BACK MY 79 BOARD WITH NO TSOP FLASH??

DID YOU THINK I WOULDN'T SEE IT GONE STUPID?

WHAT DID YOU NEED MY TSOP FOR?

CHECK THIS ONE OUT!!! YOU BREAK MY BOARD STEAL MY TSOP FLASH AND THEN CHARGE ME FOR A FIRMWARE RECOVERY AFTER YOU BROKE OR BURNED MY BOARD!! HOW CAN YOU CHARGE SOMEONE AFTER YOU BREAK THEIR BOARD THEN STEAL AWAY THE BROKEN TSOP FLASH THAT WOULD HAVE PROVED YOU BROKE IT!!

WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU??

I KNOW YOUR NOT GOING TO ANSWER ME BACK BECAUSE YOU ARE A COWARD AND YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T FIGHT THE TRUTH. I MEAN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY? YOU WOULD HAVE TO LIE OVER AND OVER TO MAKE A GOOD ARGUMENT.

OH YEAH YOU WOULD SAY "YOU DON'T KNOW THAT MY BOARD WAS GOOD."

RIGHT GUY? I JUST SENT MY 79FL BOARD TO YOU ALONG WITH $45 BECAUSE I LIKE YOU EVEN THOUGH I NEVER MET YOU.

HE HAS DONE 100'S OF THESE FOLKS. YET HE COULDN'T DO EVEN 1 OF MINE!!!

YOUR EVEN A MOD HERE RIGHT? YOU SHOULD LEAD BY EXAMPLE!!  

HEY EVERYONE LETS SEE WHAT THE COWARD HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS. PREPARE FOR A NON RESPONSE PEOPLE.

YOUR GUILTY YOU KNOW IT!! THATS THE REASON YOUR NOT GOING TO ANSWER ME OR STAND UP FOR YOURSELF. YOU CAN'T FIGHT THE TRUTH!!    

HERE ARE PICS IN FULL HIGH QUALITY SHOWING MY TSOP FLASH STOLEN!! I TRIED TO GET CLEARER PICS BUT I COULDN'T. I ONLY HAVE A 1 MP CAMERA.

WELL AFTER SEEING ALL THE GOOD REVIEWS OF THIS GUY. I DECIDED TO GIVE GRIM187 A TRY. BOY WAS THAT A BIG MISTAKE. FIRST TO TRY AND GET ANY INFO FROM THIS GUY WAS LIKE PULLING TEETH.

I SENT HIM MY BRAND NEW HT 79FL BOARD FROM MY BRAND NEW 2 MONTH OLD XBOX 360 AND DRIVE TO DOWNGRADE THE FIRMWARE AND PAID HIM $45. BECAUSE HE SAID HE COULD DO THIS AND HE HAS DONE 100'S OF THESE BEFORE HE SAID.

A FEW DAYS PASS. I MESSAGE HIM AND HE STARTS GETTING ALL TECHNICAL SPEAKING AND I TOLD HIM I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. ANYWAY LATER  AFTER SEVERAL MESSAGES OF MUCK AND ME STILL IN THE DARK. HE SAID MY BOARD IS DEAD AND HE ASK ME IF I WANTED TO DO A FIRMWARE RECOVERY. IT WILL COST ME $15 + $3 TO DO THAT. I SAID I WANTED WHAT I PAID YOU FOR AND IF YOU BROKE MY BOARD YOU CAN GET ME ANOTHER ONE. I MEAN FAIR IS FAIR.

SO HE THEN CHARGES ME $18 WITHOUT ME TELLING HIM THATS WHAT I WANTED ALSO. HE THEN REFUSES TO TALK TO ME ON AIM AND SENDS BACK MY 79FL BOARD.

BUT GET THIS MY BOARD IS NOW MISSING THE TSOP FLASH. THE PICS ARE BELOW  OF THIS. HE STOLED MY TSOP FLASH CHIP!!!

DO YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY!! HE BREAKS MY BOARD THEN CHARGES ME $18 THEN STEALS MY TSOP FLASH CHIP. MAKING MY BOARD JUNK THEN HE TELLS ME NOT TO INSTALL IT. IT COULD BLOW UP HE SAID?? YOU CAN EVEN SEE THIS ON THE PICS BELOW IN BLACK INK. HE WROTE "DO NOT TURN ON!!" HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK I AM!! THERE IS NO TSOP FLASH CHIP SO WHY WOULD I EVEN INSTALL IT!!

I JUST HOPE HE DID SEND ME THE CORRECT FIRMWARE WITH THE CORRECT DVD KEY. BECAUSE IF HE DIDN'T I AM NOT ONLY OUT A DRIVE BUT I AM ALSO OUT A BRAND NEW 2 MONTH OLD XBOX 360!!

SO JUST BE AWARE PEOPLE. IF HE BREAKS SOMETHING YOUR SCREWED!!

THIS GUY IS A CROOK!! I DON'T CARE HOW MANY GOOD REFERENCES HE HAS. I THOUGHT THE SAME THING. THIS IS THE REASON I CHOSE HIM BECAUSE HE HAD SUCH GOOD REFERENCES!!

PICTURES OF MY MISSING TSOP FLASH ARE LOCATED BELOW.

[Grim187]

the below is all records i have (on xbox scene) of all "Lovespancakes1"'s contact with me in order starting with the first pm i received:

quote= "lovespancakes1"]You said: "revert your 79 to a 78 for $40 + $10 for 2-3 day return shipping"

If you can do $40 we have a deal. All you need is my dvd drive right? Can you program and flash it with just my controller board alone? These is another guy NookularDeath that offered to do it for $40 but he doesn't have many references.

How much just to get the DVD key and I can send just the cont. board for that right? You should have a price list made up.

I feel better going with you. I also have a bricked dvd drive. It doesn't even eject anymore. How much for that? I don't need it flashed just fixed. I am looking for just the cheapest price always and someone I can trust of course.

Also do you do RLOD fixes? If so how much?

Do you have any good used 360 mobos with dvd keys? I need 4 if they are cheap enough. Anyway give me a good deal and I will give you al ot of business now and in the future. I can you with Paypal for everything.[/quote]

quote= "Me"]i can do $45 if you send just the controller board (if you feel OK with removing it and putting it back w/o damaging any pins).

its $40 for a bad flash recovery on a 32-59 drive or $45 for a 78/79, $25 for a samsung.

yes i do 3rlod repairs, its $60 + $10 for 2-3day return shipping, its includes the fix, 12v fan mod, heatsink upgrade and x-clamp replacement on the gpu heatsink.
i will be offering reballing soon which will be $60 including return shipping but will only come with a 12v fan mod and as5 upgrade.[/quote]

quote= "lovespancakes1"]Alright how about $43 since the shipping of the board will only be $2-$3 sent First Class Mail. You still make your $40.

So I can just send you the board alone and you can still flash it down to 78 firmware. You don't need the whole drive right?

Now once its has 78 firmware. I can use the Slax CD then Firmware Toolbox like its a 78 drive spoofed to 79 right?

I want to be able to flash it in the future. Also what about going back to stock firmware in case MS starts banning people again. How will I do that I don't even have a stock 78 firmware.

About the reballing. Do you think this will fix most 3 RROD consoles? Also do you do the CPU and GPU?

Alright send me your Paypal email address and complete address.[/quote]

quote= "me"]i usually do 2-3day but if you want 2-5 $43 is fine.
ya you can send just the board.
yes.
i will provide you with the original firmware and the firmware i flash with (which would be the new original firmware).

i will be setup to do the cpu, gpu, ram, southbridge, ana and tsop48 so that pretty much covers all 3rlod error codes (except the ones that start with 000).

my address is
Chris C*******
**** ********* Ave.
Yakima, WA, 98908

I prefer you ship USPS with Dev confirm, also if you would write your XS ID/e-mail
above your actual name on the return address or just something to link the package to you (possibly print out this conversation and send it with the Package)

paypal/e-mail: ************[email protected]
Please Mark Payment as Goods and Provide a shipping address so i don't have any trouble printing out a label with paypal[/quote]
[/quote]

quote= "lovespancakes1"]I want it flashed with Xtreme 1.4 or what ever is the latest modified firmware out. Can you do that?

Now once its has the modified 78 firmware. I can use the Slax CD then Firmware Toolbox just like its a 78 drive spoofed to 79 right or how does it work? Is the firmware spoofed?

I put my address on the board (200 Loch Loop).

Will send out Tuesday.

Thanks[/quote]

quote= "me"]i don't flash hacked firmware.
once you flash it with a hacked fw you can put it in modeb by powering the drive on while the tray is out (no need for slax).[/quote]

quote= "lovespancakes1"]So i will be able to put it in mode b so i can flash it? What firmware are you putting on the drive?[/quote]

quote= "me"]it will be an original 78, once you flash with a hacked firmware powering with the tray out will put it in modeb no matter what hacked firmware you use.[/quote]

quote= "lovespancakes1"]But original 78 what? Sorry to be so stupid but is this like a 78FK drive? Can I use Firmware Toolbox? So I use Slax CD to mode b then in windows load FT see if the drive is there then dump, load and patch flash etc or this is like flashing a Samsung drive meaning using a boot disk. I can't seem to find any info about this online.[/quote]

quote= "me"]original 78 firmware, yes it will be a 0078FK and there for you should flash it like one.[/quote]

quote= "lovespancakes1"]Can you get the dvd key and send it to me just in case the package gets lost in the mail?[/quote]

quote= "me"]ya i will send you the original firmware and the firmware i flash with.[/quote]

quote= "lovespancakes1"]Thats good. But can you get the dvd key and send it to me just in case the package gets lost in the mail?[/quote]

quote= "me"]the key will be in both firmwares.[/quote]

quote= "lovespancakes1"]I know but nevermind. You should get the board by Friday if not Saturday.[/quote]
After i got the board:

did you bad flash the spoof section of the drive?, the dump looks valid and so dose the key and key area but it comes up as not supported in fwtoolbox.

im not sure whats wrong with this board but i flashed another chip (just in case that wasn't the right key) and put it back on and one of the components gets really hot and it acts like a bad flash so i think it dead.

The Xbox is Brand New and I just played a game using the drive right before I sent it to you. The date on the Xbox is Nov. 22 2007. I have no idea what you are talking about. I know there is nothing wrong with the board its brand new and was working before it left here. My board has 200 Loch Loop on it and came off a 79FL drive. Are you sure you have the right board? I thought you knew what you were doing? I need the DVD Key off the chip that was on it. I really don't know what you expect me to say after what you said below. Are you or can you do what I paid you to do? Any damage should come out of your pocket since you are the one that is suppose to know what you are doing. I don't thats why I paid you. So can you explain yourself in more detail and in laymen terms.

The drive is cherry never been flashed ever. Its brand new. Firmware toolbox doesn't support version 79 thats the reason you need the 79 passkey chip. I though you had a programmer? Did you program it back to firmware 78? I don't know what your trying to do.

no i don't know what im doing, i have just done it a couple hundred times and never had a drive have the problems this one dose.

im currently out of drives, i will sort thru my samsung pile to try to find one that works, if i can it will be and extra $15 for the firmware recovery and $10 for the samsung.

Hey I told you the drive is brand new. How did I know this was going to happen!! Of course this is the first time out of 1 billion. What about the dvd key? Can you get that? If I have no dvd key my 1 month old Brand New Xbox is trash!! You expect me to pay for your mistake? LET ME REPEAT MYSELF MY XBOX IS BRAND NEW (MADE IN NOV. 2007) THAT DRIVE WAS NEVER FLASHED NOT EVEN ONCE. THAT DRIVE WAS WORKING BEFORE IT LEFT HERE. THIS IS THE REASON I PAID YOU THE PRO $45 TO DO THE FLASHING!! WHY WOULD YOU THINK I FLASHED THE DRIVE WHEN YOU KNOW I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE 79 PASSKEY THAT WAS NEEDED TO FLASH THE DRIVE.
Why are you talking about Samsung. Are you talking about a whole new drive? So I paid you $45 so you can break my Brand New 79FL drive board then charge me another $25 so you can fix it. Then this money buys me a drive in your pile of scraps that you can find one that works. All this for the low price of $70. And your a professional?

With my ass hurting. All I want to know is can you get my dvd key? For $45 you can at least do that. I mean you do have a brand new board you can sell.

i wont continue to have a conversation with you if your going to keep up this tone.

i never once said i was a professional or that i knew what i was doing.

shit happens, i didn't intentionally break the board and i personally don't think it was anything i did.

like i said the firmware doesnt show up in firmware toolbox as a valid firmware but it appears to me (i who have seen a valid and corrupt firmware in hex too many times to count) to be valid and the key is in the right section and there doesnt appear to be any corruption around it.

if you would like to no longer deal with me it will be $15 for the firmware recovery + $3 for 2-5day return shipping and i can refund the rest of the payment.

please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Thank you for this "i didn't intentionally break the board" Right you didn't mean to do it. I hear you but if I broke your front window wouldn't you expect me to pay for it instead of me charging you for the window I broke. Doesn't make sense does it. But this is what you want me to do.

First off I don't know what all you did because you won't tell me. Try to dump like it is a 0059 drive and use a boot disk or whatever. Did you try that? The only reason I chose you was because of your rep and thats all.

Do you want me to send you a pic of the Xbox and the drive to show you that it is Brand New? Just say the word. I will email it to you. Why do you need to do a firmware recovery?

Ok forget all the bs lets more forward. How about this I will be on Xbox Live for a few hours waiting on you and I will send you a friend request my handle is PimPDaddyI just enter chat and we can talk. I will have my monitor off so keep trying if I don't get to the chat right away (leave and come back). I will set the sound for chat. I might play some Poker anyway.

quote= "lovespancakes1"]I see your online now.[/quote]

quote= "lovespancakes1"]Can you explain what all you did? What or why do I need firmware recovery. You said the firmware looks alright just won't work in firmware toolbox. Did you put v.78 firmware on the board?[/quote]

quote= "me"]
well ya if i had come over and broken your drive for fun it would be my fault but you contracted me to modify the board.

your not understanding the situation of the drive, if i leave it on for more then 30 seconds a resistor will be over powered and literally explode, i have seen this problem before in a couple drives that went even opened (i.e. it dose it by its self).

the revert is removing the epoxy, taking the tsop32 39vf020 (the chip that holds the firmware) off, dumping the firmware on it and flashing an original 78 firmware, what lead me to believe it was a bad spoof flash is the firmware is valid but the section that firmware toolbox checks before telling you its valid is the spoof section.

it doesnt matter if its brand new or a year old, that doesnt change anything.

i don't use xbl regularly and right now my network isn't setup to, if you want to talk with me live im me on aim: grim1873[/quote]

quote= "lovespancakes1"]OK let say I take my tv to a repair center and they tried to do the same thing you are trying to do. Do you think that would fly? They would just say well you contacted me to fix your tv. I can't help it that I didn't fix it or I broke it myself even though you already paid me to fix it.

Yeah don't think that would hold up in court either. You assumed the risk of you breaking something when you agreed to do the job.

Yes I don't understand because you won't tell me anything. I have said this over and over again.

All I know is that the drive didn't do that before I sent it to you. It worked and was working great. So you did something to it. Burned up a chip, resistor or something. Maybe what your using to hook up to it isn't compatible with that board.

How do you not see this is your fault. Don't you care about your rep. I am tired of getting screw over by people over and over again it gets real old, real fast!!

If people screw me then I will have no choice but to do the same to others. And so you will start a chain that will go on for along time.

Again what are you going to do or can do about this?

Are you telling me the drive is trash? Can the drive be saved or what? Why can' t you just explain yourself in detail? Firmware recovery meaning the board is trash and your just getting the dvd key or what?

You might think you saving time by not answering full in detail questions but your not. See because I am so in the dark I can't see and you have sent a ton of small emails. I will just try you using AIM or Yahoo.

I also don't know what you mean by a bad spoof flash. I think I have done the same thing to another drive of mine but that wasn't my fault. It was my house's fault because it let the electric go out to cause a bad flash. The house didn't do that for fun either.[/quote]

quote= "lovespancakes1"]Can you at least tell me when you shipped my board?

So lets see if I got it. If I leave the drive running more than 30 seconds like you did a resistor on the drive will blow destroying the drive board forever? Is this right?

I deserve to know what is or not going to happen to my board that I paid you to break (not yet confirmed by me but you said the board was dead).[/quote]
(the last one was pmed to me 3x)

i will try to find the AIM transcript where it threatens to sue me.

@lovespancakes1 the tsop is in the package along with the drive board, you advised me on aim you where going to try to use it and if you got hurt when the resistor exploded you where going to sue me there for i did not reattach it to the board.

p.s. it was $42.

a friend of mine is %100 sure the problem with your board is ESD because you didn't have it in anti-static packing when you sent it to me.

if you send the (whole) drive back and insure it for $100 (include the insurance slip they give you) i will replace that component and if that gets it to work i will just charge you the original $45 ($40 for the revert + $5 for 2-3day return shipping + a credit for the $18 i didnt refund (for firmware recovery and return shipping), if that dose not fix it i will replace the drive with a 47 i just got in and will flash your key, spoof and pay for return shipping.

[Grim187]

bong420 has attempted to rectify the situation and has been met with hostility as i was, here is a transcript of there convo:

Message Forwarded From LovePancakes1

Someone isn't me. He broke my board and stoled my TSOP chip!! He should pay to get me another board. Some steam between us? Well whats he got to be mad about?

Well are you talking with him or not? This makes me believe you are

"he believes you just want to yell at him and wont accept anything reasonable he would like to do for you. Please let me know how he can resolve the issue and I will talk to him"

Then you say "If you guys can come to a decision let me know."

I thought you were talking to him? There is no decision he won't talk to me. He is a crook!! He knows what he did and he can't face it. I have emailed him twice and received no answer. I mention that he should replace my board and thats when he just ended the chat on AIM.

It also sound like your patronizing me. When you say;  "I always keep a few boards around in case I mess up, it happens and its better to fix the mistake so the customer doesnt get mad."

What about doing an honest job? What about not screwing people over. It just seems to me that would have been my first choices instead of caring about if the customer gets mad. But if thats what you meant meaning you will fix the mistake then I commend you for that. But I usually don't deal with decent people.  


Out of 3 people I have had dealing here on XS 2 were bad and 2 even had outstanding references. But I guess the rules don't apply to me. All I want is the same treatment as everyone else has got from Grim187 that made me choose him in the first place. I did choose him over another modder with little references.

I will message Grim187 and see if he will answer me and tell him about you. But if you would message him yourself.

I don't know if I am going to buy anything else on these forum. My luck isn't to good. $20 is a good deal but if I get screw then it really isn't a deal after all. I mean if Grim187 can screw me so can you. If he doesn't make this right he better get use to seeing me. You see I have no job and no life and nothing to lose! I have all day & night. Its not even about $20.

QUOTE( bong420)

Well I am only trying to get things resolved for you guys.  Obviously there is some steam between you two, and sometimes it helps to have a 3rd party involved to help 2 people solve a problem.  

If you want Grim can give me your DVD key and I can put it on a hitachi board and mail you one.  I would require someone to give me $20 + shipping for the board.  If you guys can come to a decision let me know.  I have several hitachi boards, but I dont think any is a 79, but I can spoof it to a 79 if grim gives me your original firmware or one of you sends the TSOP chip, I think he said the chip was sent to you in the envelope or I might of read something wrong.

I always keep a few boards around in case I mess up, it happens and its better to fix the mistake so the customer doesnt get mad.

Thanks,
TJ

QUOTE( lovespancakes1)

I am willing to work out a solution. I want a working drive with the correct dvd key (I don't know if i have the right one). I have a 79FL drive. I want to be able to flash the drive so I can mod it. If he or you sends me another HT board i can use Firmware Toolbox to flash it and mod it right?  

See that the thing there isn't any info about this stuff online. I don't what I am doing here.

I have always had a Samsung drive also. Even if you bad flash them you can recover them.

I have 3 Bricked HT drives and will never have a HT drive ever unless its a 78FK! How much would you charge me to fix these?

Also if either of you have a bad flashed Samsung drive without the board I will buy it from you. I have a Samsung with mechanical problems.

One other thing I have is a HT 47DH drive I use Slax to get it into Mode B then it boots into Windows. I eject the drive then put in a original games disk, wait then try to dump the firmware and it says it can't read  from the drive. I don't know if its my 8237 SATA chipset or what.

I usually use a SATA notebook drive then switch it and plug in my Samsung drive after the boot disk has finish loading to flash my Samsung drive or it hangs up on me.

What do you think it is?

QUOTE( bong420)

How would you like to settle things with Grim, he believes you just want to yell at him and wont accept anything reasonable he would like to do for you.  

Please let me know how he can resolve the issue and I will talk to him, all you really need is any model hitachi board with your firmware key and spoofed as a 79fk.  You can put the hitachi board in your drive that the 79 board was in and will work fine.  I always keep some spare boards around in case of a 79 mess up.  They arent the easiest thing in the world to mod and mistakes can happen.  You should know that shit happens, and if Grim will replace the drive board you would be fine and dandy.

Thanks,
TJ

to spite this i am still willing to work something out, just a suggestion; if you want to use one of those hitachi's i can bad flash recover it, insert your key and spoof it for $40 + return shipping.

if you would like to fix that samsung yourself (to test the key or to use) an easy fix for it (if it just has eject problems):
get a couple big bottles of %70 isopropyl rubbing alcohol and a tub that will fit the drive, take the casing off the drive and remove the drive board and tray, set the drive upside down in the alcohol and leave it for a couple hrs, take it out and let it dry for at least 4hrs (a day would be best) and when you get it back together it should work find (since it is just dirt, hair and other gunk that clogs up the gears).

Of course I am mad. I am justified to feel this way. You don't know how many times I am been screwed do you? Ask anyone if this happened to them they would be mad as hell too. If they knew the whole story. Now your sending your boy over to help clean up your mess right. You are both mods here on XS correct. Does it help you now that he is giving you the bullets for your gun. He is also being dishonest isn't he? I think so. Hey make me out to be a big bad monster. Do a good job at smearing me the victim. Yeah the victim thats me. Make yourself look real good. I mean you have a ton of references don't you. I thought so too. I am just one guy. I am ready to end this.

So if you would give BoNg420 a mere $20 and lets end this. You broke my board. It wasn't on purpose I understand so now make it right. That is all I am asking. Not 1 cent more. Enough with the drama.


One other thing I don't really like defending myself when I am the one who has a broken drive here and an Xbox 360 sitting in the corner. While my $50 Xbox Live sub. goes down the drain. You are trying to make it like I did something bad to you and I have done nothing whatsoever to you. Maybe utter a few words in anger but don't you think that is warranted given to whats happened.

[Grim187]

QUOTE(LovePancakes1 @ Mar 6 2008, 09:56 PM)

See guy this is what makes me mad. Why didn't you try and work with me before you sent out my board. You told me on AIM that you are sending my board back and to find someone else to do business with and that was the last time I heard anything from you until now.

you would let me work it out, you where very hostile and would not stop blaming me for breaking your board, quite frankly i didn't want to hear it, i have never been treated with such disrespect before in my live.

i never told you to find someone else, i suggested if you didn't want to deal with me to find someone else.

the fact of the matter is i have seen drives with this same problem come from consoles that haven't been opened and never have a had a drive board have this problem after i did a bad flash recovery or 79 revert. (there both the same process, in all i would guesstimate i have done over 500)

please post the aim convo.

QUOTE(LovePancakes1 @ Mar 6 2008, 09:56 PM)

Your friend is not 100% sure of anything. Thats is just a guess. Tell me and everyone this have you or anyone on this forum ever received a board that didn't arrive in a anti-static bag and it worked? In my case that would be a yes. If you have, then that 100% theory is trash. I have receive dozens and dozens of boards, mem chip, flash chips etc over the years. Never had one single problem with any of them.

so now your accusing my friend of not knowing what he is talking about?
i simply stated his opinion on the matter and outside you having broke the board before you sent it his theory is the only one that makes sense to me.

just because some ppl don't use anti-static packing and nothing happens to the board doesnt mean that will be the case every time, they wouldn't make and sell anti-static packing if it didn't protect electronic devices during shipping as well as other things.

QUOTE(LovePancakes1 @ Mar 6 2008, 09:56 PM)

I am not sending you anything more ever again lets get that straight. That was your idea and I agree with you. I feel now you are saying all this to save face. You want me to send you my broken drive and "insure it for $100 (include the insurance slip they give you)"  so you can say its broken and collect the insurance money? Is this what you want me to think? I don't get it. I know your not getting anymore of my business. You didn't want to work it out remember. I have every word on AIM I can produce at any time.

well that's up to you, but i don't see how i can make this right (by you) if your not going to send me the drive.
i haven't ever suggested you not send me anything.
yes if the problem is esd during shipping then i believe USPS should pay for the replacement (as a last resort, if i cannot fix it).

again; please post the aim convo.

QUOTE(LovePancakes1 @ Mar 6 2008, 09:56 PM)

I have been talking with BoNg420 about this. He has a HT board that he said will work. He said any board off an HT drive should work. I don't know about that but I will take his word on it until I find out myself.

Its only $20 + ship. How about you buy that board send him my dvd key then he can then send it to me and I will send you my board. Thats seems to be the cheapest and fair way. That way you are not involved so I can't yell at your soft sensitive ears. I don't see why you couldn't own up to this before. Hopefully I won't get screw by 2 mods here on Xbox Scene.

Do I have the correct DVD KEY (below). Its from the firmware you sent me. Just if you would double check to see if its correct.

yes any Hitachi drive board will work with any Hitachi drive, as i have told you i have a 47 here that i would replace your drive with if i am not able to fix it but i will not just send you (or pay to have sent to you) a brand new drive board.

yes that is the correct key.

Of course I am mad. I am justified to feel this way. You don't know how many times I am been screwed do you? Ask anyone if this happened to them they would be mad as hell too. If they knew the whole story. Now your sending your boy over to help clean up your mess right. You are both mods here on XS correct. Does it help you now that he is giving you the bullets for your gun. He is also being dishonest isn't he? I think so. Hey make me out to be a big bad monster. Do a good job at smearing me the victim. Yeah the victim thats me. Make yourself look real good. I mean you have a ton of references don't you. I thought so too. I am just one guy. I am ready to end this.

I don't think i ever suggested you where mad but i do believe your blaming me for something that was out of my control (unless the first theory was accurate), please do not act like i have screwed you, your hostile attitude when i was trying to work it out was met with a block and return of your merchandise.

Actually i have had more then a few go wrong, not really sure what happened they didn't act like a bad flash but wouldn't eject and the customers (who where fully informed) where always understanding and didn't mind paying an extra $5-$15 (i give credit for trade in on the whole drive, which you didn't provide), this has been the first time i have had a customer act in such a way as you have.

No, i did not ask Bong420 to contact you he did this of his own mind to try and help me after i informed him of the situation.

I did not see anywhere in the conversation you had with Bong420's where he was being dishonest.

I'm not painting you as a monster and i do not believe your a victim.

No one of my customers is any more or less important then another.

I couldn't edit my last post.

Alright you said "i have told you i have a 47 here that i would replace your drive with if i am not able to fix it but i will not just send you (or pay to have sent to you) a brand new drive board."

First off its only $20 guy and I don't think its brand new. I don't know. I WILL ADMIT THAT. I have offered to split it in half. I don't like the way you conduct your business alright. We tried it didn't work out lets leave it alone. You suggested/implied what ever you want to say about that you wanted me to find someone else to do business with. Now thats what I am doing.

Also look at it this way. Because your not willing to be fair about this you are going to lose 3 bricked drive that I needed to get fixed and 4 RROD Xboxes that also needed to be fixed. Now I am going to have someone else do them. $20 that you traded for an easy several hundred you have lost out on. Anyway all you had to say to me at anytime just one time "don't worry your drive will get fixed." I hear that and all is good. That is all I wanted to hear. That would have stop me dead in my tracks.

Can you afford $12 for your half?  Lets just end this now. You can go your way and I will go mine.
