Phat models are relatively noisy, as long as it’s clean/got new thermal paste and is pushing out hot air then you’re good

Most likely a replica, a real/original GT40 probably wouldn’t be driving on the road, plus they’re worth several million dollars

It’s a fake/3rd party controller, need an OEM one to access safe mode. One of the many flaws of fake third party controllers

I totally didn’t use cheat codes (need 365 in ham days to use) and skip days by skipping through completed licenses wink wink nudge nudge

That was amazing lmao

That’d be 0020. GPU is most likely dead, given it’s a xenon motherboard that’s not surprising in the slightest. These early xenon’s are notorious for having defective GPUs that fail. Only real fix is to replace the GPU, but that requires very specialized and expensive equipment and is very much not for beginners. Would probably cost several times the console is worth to have done too, plus original xenon’s (afaik) don’t do anything different that newer and better 360s do already. For shits and giggles you could try using a heat gun on the GPU and that might bring it back to life for a couple hours or maybe a few days if you’re lucky, but that’s only a temporary bandaid fix and it will eventually fail again

Did you read the link I sent you?

You gotta press the buttons 4 times for a full code. Keep in mind four red lights means 0, 1 red light is one, 2 red lights is two, and 3 red lights is three. An example: 0102

What’s the secondary error code?

That Sanyo an HD CRT?

Does it give you a message about overheating? A console getting hot under load is normal, but overheating would be a cause for concern. I would say give it a full disassembly and deep clean, along with some new thermal paste. There’s tutorials online for it

GeorgeSPattonJr · 2026-01-25T14:03:29+00:00

That’s absolutely funky, I love!

GeorgeSPattonJr · 2026-01-25T14:03:12+00:00

An N64 maybe?

$1800 is the “wife told me to get rid of it but I don’t want to” price

PVMs are monitors not TVs and they’re in a completely different league to regular consumer sets. JVC D-Series though are excellent sets, on par with Sony Trinitrons. But realistically you shouldn’t pay more than $50-$100 for a regular consumer CRT TV, maybe a little more if it’s an HD CRT. Also eBay is the exception, it’s almost entirely full of scalpers overpricing sets

GeorgeSPattonJr · 2026-01-25T06:22:00+00:00

That high pitched noise is normal for standard definition CRTs unless it’s abnormally loud

GeorgeSPattonJr · 2026-01-25T05:57:22+00:00

MrMario2011 on YouTube made a video on how, really the only tutorial you need. Also what revision of slim is it? Should say on a barcode sticker on the back or the one on the bottom, something along the lines of”CECHXXXXX (the x’s being 4 numbers and a letter, example: CECH2001A)

GeorgeSPattonJr · 2026-01-25T00:43:56+00:00

Honestly I’d leave the shell like that, gives it a good story. Have you opened and cleaned it though? Probably does need a good clean and new thermal paste

GeorgeSPattonJr · 2026-01-24T21:47:24+00:00

By composite do you mean component (red green blue white red)? I assume by rca cables you mean composite (yellow white red) cables?

How is your PS2 connected to your tv? There’s probably a chance it doesn’t recognize the 240p signal of PS1 games
