Wow, Amazing what this guy did to his Xbox

[Shibz]

for the 1.0, he probably was too lazy to get some de-soldering braid to desolder before he put in his pinheader. He was probably trying to melt the solder that was already there and stab the pinheader through at the same time. Trying to do that takes tons of heat so i can kinda see how he did it.

Looks like they were using the ole flame thrower method..

lol

Looks like he tried to clean off the solder with a dremel !

 

[Sage2050]

It was a customer of mine that get this board for repair, hi actually got it to work. This is how it was after "a bit" cleaning.

For the whole repair job: http://www.hoiseth.no/gallery/xboxfawkup

XBOXFAWKUP is right.

Nice cleanup though, I would have told him to go screw himself.

I don't have a lot of people skills, though.

also only the new xboxes come with those games...

did anybody else notice the x3 switch on the front of the first picture?

ha I just noticed that, I bet his xbox FRAG's and he's trying to sell it off.

 

[NotZero]

Yep, its an X3! I wonder if he'll see us making fun of him. About the box, he probably bought another Xbox and put his trashed 1.0 in the new box.

thats why ebay can be trash for buying stuff. If we had a better underside pic we could see what version the board was... It may be the newest one and he just f'd it up...oh well.. buyer beware..

Remember when xbox first came out....people were selling " xbox 'boxes' " LOL those were the days....

 

[ThaCrip]

jesus christ... that guy probably was a stupid phuck and used some big ass high watage soldering gun! i cant believe that... o well it just shows u how stupid people can be.

if he just used a 15watt soldering iron like he SHOULD have used... this would be close to impossible to get that bad! lol

thanks for the post though... it was funny.
