    Hardware eBay replacement lasers

    Yeah, my thoughts exactly, once 360 game backwards compatibility on the Xbox One is no longer a thing, that's when we will probably start seeing servers start getting shut down. But now that ther are even doing original Xbox Backward compatibility now, that may not happen for a long while. lol...

    Hardware eBay replacement lasers

    Ahh, now that's one I don't have experience with because I don't like modifying consoles that heavily rely on internet connectivity. Once they shut down the servers for the Xbox 360 entirely, that's when I will mod mine. I've already noticed that the download servers for the 360 have been...

    Hardware eBay replacement lasers

    Yeah, looking at videos of the old dashboards, Blades and NXE really were by far the best of the Dashboards NXE mainly because it just added a crap ton of new features, Kinect like you said was just awful, and Metro just took the Kinect dashboard and made it tolerable, but still meh. EDIT...

    Hardware eBay replacement lasers

    Ever since they updated the 360 to support installing games to the HDD I've always installed them for this very reason. And that update dropped only a few months after I had bought my 360, with the NXE update in November of 2008. I don't remember when I got my 60GB HDD at the time, because I had...

    Hardware eBay replacement lasers

    Yeah, I know. I was under the impression though that a pot tweak wasn't necessary on a new laser, since not one person mentions it in any guide anywhere.

    Hardware eBay replacement lasers

    Got my replacement laser yesterday, desoldered the anti-static blob. Got it installed and all put back together, and now it reads games again. But it's no better at reading the games than it was right before the previous laser burned out. It should be playing games it's had no trouble with in...

    Hardware My phat xbox360 is loud af!

    Then you're definitely better than me when taking apart consoles. That and/or I just really suck at it. lol Like when I cleaned out my PS3 Slim, and changed the thermal paste on that, the fan connector ripped off the board with the solder pads, luckily it seems like a common issue with people...

    Guess I am just an impatient person sometimes. That and I didn't follow a guide, so yeah. lol

    Hardware My phat xbox360 is loud af!

    Nothing out of normal use really, I do use the USB ports allot. As for opening the console, it's not as straight forward your first time opening it, and that's when most of the damage was done.

    Hardware My phat xbox360 is loud af!

    I agree, I had been using a Slim for a little while now, they are neat but I have little to no nostalgia for them. Waiting on a replacement case from an 360 elite off ebay, mines been opened up a few times in the past to clean the DVD drive, and quite a few screw posts and clips have broken...

    Hardware My phat xbox360 is loud af!

    I know this has been resolved, but I also have to say that replacing the thermal paste is a must for any original model 360 these days. Mine like everyone has described sounded like a jet taking off whenever a game was played (even if installed to the HDD) So I applied new thermal paste to my...
