Vaporpublico Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It was a big journey but after 5 years, It happened. It feels like it was yesterday when I unboxed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of the repair is about the same as a used working console if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 You're better off just getting a used 360 than getting it repaired. I see them all over facebook and shop sites for really cheap. If you had the original 360, maybe it's time to upgrade to the slim model. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with this advice or if you can squeeze a bit extra, he should be able to get a used Xbox one and that'll last him a bit longer.

Shortie Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 It lasted 5 years without getting RROD, that is quite amazing as I heard that so many people would get it after such a short span of time of having the console, I know with me it was only a few months of me having my console that I got the RROD. What did you do when you got the RROD? I am not sure so far on that Microsoft would still be doing repairs or even replacements like they were in the beginning when it was a huge problem. So glad you got good life out of it before it decided to RROD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) It means death right..? Not sure if anyone here has seen Microsoft's documentary series on the History of Xbox, but they've finally fessed up as to what the cause was. Turns out that the solder connecting components inside the chips themselves were not very tolerant of rapid changes in temperature (IE, running your console until it got hot, then turning it off for a while to cool down, rinse repea Edited November 15, 2022 by Empire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think that Xbox has the audacity to be selling a poster of it for $25. I mean, we can laugh about it now but back then, it was no laughing matter.

Microsoft so do better and try to make their consoles a lot more durable and long lasting as that wouldn't stop fabs from getting newer consoles when they are released or maybe want something else for a change.
