but as i have said to you b4 the seals on the inner case will most likely show signs of tampering if so microsoft will want you to pay all postage costs to return the box back to you and it still wont get fixed

What gets me is the the talk of a new xbox360 that will be out next summer, tv tuner, hdd, dvd player etc,

fine..


but the x360 has had several majory probs so whats that going to be like, almost brought a ps3 last week.

[jonc]

I know whay you been just away of getting more money from you.Am starting to think that the Ps3 price tag wasn't that bad in the end but i am my self saying u for a Ps3 at the moment but am not getting it till about March next year i want to see do the games improve

Yeah like i said almost brought a ps3 - looked at the games and that ended that idea will check them out again next month in the run up to xmas, gamestation were doing 60gb hdd ps3 - 2 blue ray movies and 2 games...£349 which looked a good deal.

the xbox 360 problems came about the day they released the box
most people pluged in the box for it to freeze and then give 3rld

they should have done a recalled all of them then

the boxes have realy bad design problems

1 is the lack proper cooling
2 is the way the cpu and graphics chips are attached on the board

if they would have made the pcb with sockets like a pc motherboard
has for its cpu the heat would have been kept away from the solder
and there wouldnt be any problem


it shows how much they care about the end user they havent
even tried to fix this problem other than adding and extra bit of heat sink
to new consoles and the rest of us can sit and wait wondering
if the console will die

sonys p3s don't seem to have many problems at all
other than its not hacked as far as i know lol

brought x360 January this year nephew plays on it few hrs a week...luckily i had seen how to fix the problem with a heat gun so i did, nephew as asked me to fix a few of his friends x360s over the next week, said i will have a try cant promise anything, i am playing around with the idea of transporting the entire inners of the x360 into a bigger case leave in xbox 360 case with top removed then stick a few extra pc fans in there etc and see how i go on...

I was a far better player on the pitch in footy and rugby than i am now in any game on the x360, in my head im always winning...then i start playing and i occasionally believe , but not for long.

the heat gun fix has been said not to last long on xbox scene
they dont recomend doing it cos it the heat can damage other parts

[thetarget]

sorry i opened my mouth now after i posted my last post about the tin foil
i thought mmmm think i finnsh the rest of strangle hold off

switched the console on and 4 red light rebooted to 3 red light
now back to 4 red lights with an error code of 0102 = xclamp replacment
lol

might just buy a heat gun and set the console of fire with it then chuck it in the bin :icon11:

[jonc]

I have to keep fiddling with the screws on the xclamp on my one

When i first did it the first time i got 4 lights....then i redid it and got no red lights and it as worked since, i wonder if you could claim on house insurance, knock some coke or something on it just a idea?

but i personally have said to myself - never a ms product again - windows will be out of the window full time next year, im currently using windows because a linux version of the cleaner i use to clean my vinyl isnt avail, once ive ripped all of my records to cd i may make the full switch.
