Sorry, I’m dumb. If the goal was to increase the “juice” to the laser, and a lower number is less resistance, i.e. higher “flow”, how did tuning it from a reading of .002 to .003 help the issue? Didn’t you effectively crank it down?

I know this video has been up for several yeas, but I have a question, if you still monitor the comments. I have an OG xbox, and on boot, the box sits at the xbox logo for several minuets, then gives a error 16. (HDD timeout I think). Anyway, when I put in another dvd, unit it will boot. Bad DVD I guess, but I am not sure what is wrong with it. Have you ever seen this before?

I assume you need enough space on your PC to take all the switch data? For example I have A 1TB card so I would need 1TB of space on my PC to copy the data to? So since I don't have a PC with 1TB hard rive or SSD I can't do it?

I must say I am extremely pissed. This just happened with a console I recently bought and it's happened with literally EVERY model I've owned. The original Xbox is one of the worst systems I've ever dealt with. Great library of games, but an awful console. My old ps2 slim (which I bought when it was already used) has outlasted all of them.
