does anyone know if you can get a faux rrod if a system's power cable isn't plugged in all the way? that seems to have happened to me just a few moments ago. whenever I'd turn the system on, it would rrod immediately without powering on. unplugging the cable the rest of the way, then plugging it back in seems to have fixed it. I don't play the system often, and the temperatures are always less than 140 degrees F, so hardware failure seems unlikely, but I really don't want one of my systems to have failed. I moved the system at some point recently which might've dislodged the cable.

I had the same issue with one of my 360 consoles (went through 3 of them... Man was I dumb...). I vaguely remember using the wall to prop the cable up into the console, which helped for a while. It eventually ruined my cable and I had to get a new one. The new one never had the issue.

hmm...I just slightly unplugged the cable again to see what would happen. it rrod again when I did that, so that must've been the problem. the cable seems to be fine, just got slightly unplugged when I moved it. it has been ever so slightly unplugged or else it doesn't turn on at all. ;)

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
