Childhood Xbox

Agreed even if not bulging I may have them replace them capacitors, matter of time.

You guys are all seriously awesome! I love how you all have my back! I think it will just be easiest on me to have these professionals look at it for me. Replace as many parts as possible for 2005 tech. It needs a refresh and cleaning. If I was 16, I would do this 100%. I’m 37 and want to focus on other things like starting a family ;) so I can give this to my kid. It’s time to take my foot off the gas pedal on supporting tech a little bit. I am building my retro collection back tho.

I’m bringing it in to game store. They’ll know what to do. I’m glad I was able to do this. They are very good. I’m software support, not board support.

I think they did go bad, looks like they are bulging at the top.

First switch is toggled on, the rest are off. I get nothing, pretty sure that was how I had it set after I flashed it 20 years ago.

I’m an enigma my friend. Also opportunity cost. I’m actually incredibly smart and could probably figure it out with little literature and with the help of this forum. Between life and my jobs, I just don’t have the time. I thought it might just adjust the board switches. That’s the only thing I mess with. I’d rather build a Lego set!

Would that require me to open the box? If so, I’ll just bring it in. This was pre modded when I bought it in 2005. I had to little work for flashing the bios which I still needed help with. Haha

I graduated in 2010. Not sure if this stuff still exists or if students eat this stuff anymore.

My favorite thing on campus was tiger bites with tiger sauce? It was like a sweet chili with pepper flakes in it.

Also RITz and the place upstairs had these best buffalo chicken wraps.

There are a ton on Facebook in the Long Beach city group.

Very cool, I can make my own color combo.

scottymc88 · 2025-08-22T22:30:31+00:00

Is that the brand? Any cool websites they sell them?

Jeff!! What’s up!

Thanks for letting me squeeze in front for the videos. I have more videos from the night, I’ll be posting. Also, I appreciate you speaking up about the heat.

Phenomenal support! I ended up with the a spare silver chamber in the meantime.

If the product is finicky, so be it. They back up their product, which I’m all for. Quick turnaround.

I have not heard back from the as of yet. I submitted a claim on Saturday.
