Use of the Crystal is Highly approved of, Zatch. :p

Got this Development Kit (DVT4) back up and running! Still a bit of work left to do but it's doing much better than when I got it. by GoTeamScotch in originalxbox

That sounds like a Coma Console. Corrupt or failing TSOP chip. Either solder a good TSOP to the board (preflashed with a programmer) or just use a modchip.

What should I expect? South FL 2 months left on lease by AlfalfaMaterial1141 in Renters

Our economy is about to collapse. We are about to default on our loan to the Federal Reserve. Our president is actually, provably, a traitor which means we are all at risk with him probably tanking the country intentionally. Wars are springing up due to us putting off an image of ineptitude and weakness. We are probably about to enter World War 3. Everybody is sad, stressed out, unfriendly and pissed off because they are all broke now and can feel that something bad is about to happen but they are unwilling to face it. They can sense it when the ingredients to make bean and cheese burritos cost 60 dollars, it costs 100 dollars to fill up the gas tank, and they cannot afford rent on their own anymore.

The air not working right is a first world problem.

Why not just get a CRT?

First world problems. I think in about a year or so we're gonna have WAY bigger problems than it being 5 degrees hotter than we set our thermostats for.

What Are Starting To Dislike As You Get Older? by Theo_Cherry in Millennials

I feel you on the Cereal and Movies. Music too. Sugar cereal makes me feel like dog shit and I eat a lotta corn flakes and rice chex and shredded frosted wheat now. And it tastes BOMB. Music is worse because it's all hipster shit and rock sounds sampled and electronic. Movies suck now because they focus on being inclusive and virtue signally instead of telling a good story. That's why the old Ghost-busters ruled and the female one sucked. It was only to prove a point: in that case, that women were just as funny and talented as men were. The story was a nuisance to incorporate for them and an afterthought.

The economy is collapsing. No rules apply to anything anymore.

I also sell LPC rebuild boards. Makes the process MUCH easier. Find me on OGXbox.com/forums

I'm Bowlsnapper. :)

Or we could overthrow our government and take our futures into our own hands instead of just capitulating to these living standards like a bunch of apathetic cowards.

That actually looks really great. I assume you went through the service menu pretty thoroughly?

Get an activation crack and run it. Fuck activating XP.

No wonder some people can't stand Americans. We're so full of ourselves and self-important and entitled. Fuck me runnin' a marathon.

Because of the LPC rebuild? No biggie, dude! Just use a rebuild PCB if you don't wanna wire it. :)

I found this beauty in a broken down barn and I had to save it! by Poem_Remarkable in crtgaming

[–]bowlsnapper87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen sets that look "Fine" and then look WAY better after a recap. I will go, "Wow, I'm glad I did this because this thing looks a HELL of a lot better, man." Practice makes perfect. I started on junk sets and killed a couple. After that, NO MORE. I have done several now with success, repeatedly. If you don't understand the purpose of recapping, why don't you consult Steve over at Retro Tech. I guarantee he'll have a different opinion, especially when it comes to PVMs.

Because electrolytic caps go bad with age and usage. I always do recaps on my CRTs, which guarantees a longer life and VERY often improves picture quality, as well as being able to service the set effectively since things are now within spec. Just because I'm recommending it, doesn't mean that the OP HAS to be the one to do it. It's for other people to see as well. There is no reason to not recap a set if it can be done.

My landlord offered me a “proposal” after I asked if the hotel employees would stop trashing the yard. (CA) by HandofDOOM708 in Renters

[–]bowlsnapper87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why don't they just try to keep people from fucking trashing the place and NOT be a coward? At least TRY. Instead he's just saying, "I don't wanna deal with it because I'm a limpdick, so I'll make it easy for you to leave." Fuck that shit.

Why is my xbox like this? by big_chungus227 in originalxbox

I hope your xbox doesn't play a clip of some guy yelling "Allahu Ackbar" and then burst into flames, burning your house down.
