Tel Aviv Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 My xbox is now asthmatic, it often wheezes, the dust crippling my much needed relaxation period! Is there any way, any form of maintenance or resuscitation that may improve my quality of life? How do I clean this damn thing!?
Darque Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Put it in a bathtub full of soapy water. I take no responsability for the results
Petay Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I have no present solution apart from that mentioned above, but i blame Bill Gates. <_<
Bill Gates Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 The policy here at Microsoft is that the customer is guilty of all damages done to our beautiful consoles.
metadigital Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Put it in a bathtub full of soapy water. I take no responsability for the results <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ... WAIT! 110 volts? This only works if you get in the bath first, then drop it in whilst it is connected to the main AC power supply. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
EnderAndrew Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Understand that opening the XBox will void your warranty. xbox-scene.com has some nifty tutorials with pictures that will walk you through step by step, but it is really easy. You will need a special torx driver, which you can get at Radio Shack. I recommend some canned air. And if you're like me, when you're in there you will also remove the heat sinks off the CPU and GPU and scrape that sorry pink bubble-gum thermal goop off and put on some good thermal goop like Arctic Silver.
Calax Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 When I first read the title I thought he was talking about the CEO of the company, not the Xbox... Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

This behaviour is normal as all current XBoxes will break down to their atomic components in November 2005. However, by adding our exciting new "XBox360" product to your exisiting setup at that time, you will discover that all your problems have been rectified. Unless you really like the hard disk in your XBox of course, in which case an additional cash injection of a further $100 will suffice to restore your system to normality."
Musopticon? Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 So ti's a 'feature'. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Petay Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Understand that opening the XBox will void your warranty. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've never really understood that, sure it may void your warranty, but how the hell will Microsoft ever know that you have opened your XBox at all (unless you make a mess inside it)
Calax Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 they have Simpsons like Fiber Optic cable! Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Petay Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 they have Simpsons like Fiber Optic cable! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah, I see, so T.V. is good for something then
Tel Aviv Posted September 7, 2005 Author Posted September 7, 2005 Well... I'll be pur-chasing a lens cleaner dealy tomorrow. I'm a little hesitant to open my Susan up.

Dear Man the thing is Male as exhibited by its power... only the Gamecube can be referred to as female... because it's small, and a box.... Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Gabrielle Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 I meet new and weird people on the net everyday it seems.

vaxen83 Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Like the way you give any pet you have its own name? Deep from within... Victims live a life of fantasy. Some see salvation as an act of God, a few look within for it. 朱宣澧
