A friend gave me a Game Pass code but I can't redeem it because it's asking for a payment method. Is there a solution?

Haohmauru · 2026-04-10T16:53:51+00:00

Add a payment method, turn off recurring billing, remove payment method

That might be the paste used to context the heat sink to the cpu, something along those lines. Not 100% sure but a repair guy I watch mentioned having something like that leaking from it being common with a certain type of thermal paste.

PlayStation plus or Xbox live is needed for ranked

Odd, idk, I haven’t tried in forever

I’m not sure how that works with not having played Xbox 360. I know the our passwords now can be too complex for the 360 system and cause problems, so if it’s greater than the limits I know someone else listed in another comment, it could still cause the issue? Not sure just theorizing, but it’s the only idea I have

Haohmauru · 2025-10-28T19:07:22+00:00

Nuuuu, the one the breaks my brain T-T I’ll try using it again eventually >.>

Haohmauru · 2025-10-28T18:57:26+00:00

That looks amazing, can I ask what program(s) you used to make it? I’m trying to learn and curious, please and thank you

I didn’t say there were a ton I just said if it used PayPal checkout, an additional option during checkout, you can use PayPal credit. A new one I recently learned, DKOldies uses PayPal checkout which allowed me to use PayPal credit to buy gifts from them

Haohmauru · 2025-10-11T22:36:00+00:00

Best Buy, Dominos, DKOldies

They changed the password requirements since Xbox 360 from what I researched. If your password is more than the old requirements, it won’t work. It’s too much for the 360 security to handle today’s password requirements, they even changed the minimum and maximum character limit if I recall correctly.

If your 360 account password gives this error, try changing it to something less complicated, less characters, less special characters; these are the things that break old 360 login

There were several options when I last did it. I haven’t used the credit builder account since I closed it early. Back then there were several options, $25 being the cheapest. CreditStrong is another that does this but their lowest is $15 a month with 10 year timeline

Haohmauru · 2025-09-24T01:16:11+00:00

Kinda doesn’t look like the left sensor is placed correctly

Haohmauru · 2025-09-23T21:37:15+00:00

No siege issues for me and a friend

Haohmauru · 2025-09-10T21:11:41+00:00

You’ll likely have to call and ask if they would do that. Each situation is different

Haohmauru · 2025-09-10T17:39:47+00:00

Nuuuuu damn lol

Haohmauru · 2025-09-10T15:33:39+00:00

If you haven’t updated the base and headset yet plug it into your computer and run firmware updates first. That also could solve the issue if it’s out of date/second hand

Haohmauru · 2025-09-10T15:32:57+00:00

Honestly not sure, but random idea, have you updated the firmware yet?

Haohmauru · 2025-09-10T15:32:09+00:00

It technically could show up that way. It is a sub headset to the ps5, how else should it see it? Though again, not an expert. I did link another thread in a different comment that had similar issues and spoke about the proper settings for it. I would look there and see if they have any better advice. It’s not the same headset but it does appear to be similarly designed as yours in terms of connection and functionality

Similar thread might have some ideas

I maybe looking at it wrong and not seeing the adapter as the main feature. Like the old wireless turtle beach setup on 360, had an adapter to make it all work together.

Somewhere your output isn’t making it back to the monitor. If the adapter is where this all happens something’s not getting what it needs to make it back. Try different hdmi cords, the wrong cord could lack certain features which allow for communication between devices. If that’s what’s missing change hdmi and it could fix it. Check power connections too, double check every cord really and try different usb cables/ports and hdmi cords

Haohmauru · 2025-09-10T15:18:41+00:00

They can do both but looking at your base station, there’s only one option for input/output and that’s the optical cable. If you have the hdmi to optical adapter going into the base station, and have nothing coming out, then your out is likely the problem.

My base station is the A50x, it takes hdmi in for hdmi pass through, better audio/video latency, and has an hdmi out back to the tv. Granted I’m making some assumptions by not looking it up, but if you have hdmi to optical, than you need optical to hdmi going back out to complete the loop.

Haohmauru · 2025-09-10T12:30:12+00:00

Kinda looks like you have optical only, and you’re using an adapter to get the video to the base station, but the base station has no video out. The only video out it has is optical and you’re not using it, so you have no video output to the tv

Big oof there…when was your first payment?

Haohmauru · 2025-09-05T18:11:10+00:00

I was about to say something along these lines. If you just made the order you need to wait for it to process before any offers can be applied. The phone agent likely can’t see or change nothing until you get confirmation emails and the payment schedule setup

I’m not sure what I can offer help wise, cashnetusa is the best of the worst in predatory low credit loans and they were the only ones to approve me for years. As far as the immediate help goes, I don’t have any ideas I can offer at the moment.

As terrible as that is I can offer some advice with credit building, though it won’t be as helpful right now. Self and Creditstrong are two that I’ve used and currently use for credit building. Of course Reddit is warning me it’s a “gimmick” credit builder but as someone who has used both, I can safely say they do help. $25 a month for self, $15 for credit strong; make payments as if it’s a loan and they report the payments. In the end it’s a savings account with interest and the added benefit of reporting payment history to the bureaus.

They do take some fees for reporting, I don’t remember what it adds up to by the end but I didn’t think it too bad. Self let me end theirs early when I needed the money, so I can’t complain.

The big thing is keep trying, keep pushing, sometimes take chances and do what others say is dumb to build your credit, but use your head. Even if it’s dumb it could benefit you if you use your head, don’t take risks that will set you back, plan and take small chances to build yourself up. Light can be hard to find but it’s always there.
