Can I Fix It? The FILTHIEST console inside you've EVER SEEN. People are naaaasty!

This Xbox 360 Elite won't read discs.
Let's find out why, see if we can fix it and sell it back on eBay.
Don't forget to check out my other videos in the series of retro gaming repairs!
As always, I am a noob/novice and in no way an expert. You know more than I do. I just want to show that if I can do it, maybe you can too.

Since your order wasn't picked to be filmed, we won't refurbish it properly - Joey

[@pukalo]

DKOldies must've "refurbished" that console before you ended up with it.

*Joey smiles, winks, and flings the box with enthusiasm* 😄

[@ScottMadeAThing]

😂

[@richieshrug]

That's a Jasper model motherboard. The beast and best revision.

[@Dylan___]

i didnt even notice you were a small channel i thought you were a bigger one im glad i found this video its nice to watch and its funny :)

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Ah thanks Dylan, that means a lot! The best is yet to come :)

[@Dylan___]

@@ScottMadeAThing bet you also earned a new sub :)

[@G.indigo]

After all of these years!!! I wondered what that rattle noise was and you explained it 😅

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Haha it was driving me crazy 🤣

[@RokushoHasashi]

Now THIS is how you refurbish an Xbox 360 console or any game console in general, take notes DKOldies 📝.

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Haha thank you :)

[@RokushoHasashi]

You're very welcome!!

[@DandBDubHD]

Too much or too little thermal paste aside, that spreading was beautiful

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Haha thank you, you can't go wrong with those tiny spades 😂

[@MarcusTheDorkus]

Interestingly I think the only purpose of that tilt switch is to ensure that the ring around the power button always starts with the top left segment.

[@ScottMadeAThing]

I wonder how many people thought that there was something loose inside their 360. Mind you, if you've got to the point of shaking your console, you've probably got other issues haha.

[@Ne0nnet]

Did someone take a poo in it 😅 I cracked up!! 😂😂😂

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Ahaha I almost cut that out as well 😂

[@jamesf6610]

Think this is your best one yet, also found it intriguing about the little metal ball that tells if its vertical or horizontal, have always wonder what that sound was.

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Ah thanks James! And to think I wasn't going to bother with this video, glad I did :)

[@braydenhorsley-zo6lo]

Dkoldies you really have out done yourself

[@fromthegamethrone]

The last part of the video hurts me in a deep way. Slowly watching a tomb raider video that took me 2 straight days of editing tick up toward 100 views haha

[@ScottMadeAThing]

I used to write music, and I'd pour my heart and soul into the writing, production and everything then share it with my friends on Facebook, somehow thinking everyone would watch my hard work. There's no meme or gif for the face I used to pull watching it max out at 12 views (10 of them probably me checking the link works haha). I think that over the years I've FINALLY come to accept: just because I spent ages doing it doesn't mean I should expect people to endure it 😂

[@fromthegamethrone]

@@ScottMadeAThingTotally agree, and perhaps even more so - don't expect friends and family to be passionate about your passion - spread the news (As you are doing) and you will find your audience. Just annoying when so many channels are... awful... and get millions of views because they "sell out", if that makes sense. Fair play to them! I just can't do it, would rather have 100 honest views than a million click-bait views!

[@umbrellacorp.]

I like the video, you did a great job on that console dude. 😎👍💯

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Thanks dude :)

[@ShadrikEaston]

Holy fking hell!!! :o that thing was dire.... I love your cuts in this :D Glad you got it working. is the orientation sensor something to do with the disk drive then?

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Ahh, glad you like :) It was awful... I really expected to be smelling tobacco when I was cleaning it, didn't smell a thing... so odd. Yeah I believe it's so that it displays the 4 segments of the circle (around the power button) in the correct orientation. It just so happens that when a drive with perishing belts is vertical, it struggles more with the opening gears. I thought it odd to see something so crude to determine the orientation, but I love the simplicity of it!

[@ShadrikEaston]

reminds me of the mercury tilt switches somewhat.. but more clangy ;)@@ScottMadeAThing

[@CliffNark]

This Falcon Elite has a revised Rhea GPU so it won't fail on ya, worth atleast £30

[@Will_ONeill]

That's what you call smoker's dust, that's likely a light cigerette smoker, smoke destroys electronics. It likely sat for a while unused that's why you didn't have any odor, I had gotten 3 Xbox One model 1540 consoles cheap from a 2 pack a day smoker, the internals were coated in thick brown tar. After a thorough cleaning of each, the Blue Ray disc lasers were no good, 2 of the 3 had overheat issues, 1 had a dying HDD, and 2 had dead power supplies after 3 years and this guy purchased them new.

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Thanks Will! I did a moderate look into it (maybe 3 mins Google and a little Reddit) and there was only one decent example and it was a bit more fluffy and lighter, so only had that for comparison, so I'm glad to have your confirmation:) I once had to go to someone's flat/apartment for my old job and the walls were shiny, sticky and brown with tar, must be a similar thing as what you said. I'm so glad it had enough time for the odor to go away and glad it didn't 'wake up' when I cleaned it haha!

[@brandonstonestreet-grillo2358]

love it!

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Glad to hear :)

[@StezStixFix]

that's definitely poo

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Stupid poo.

[@-Mango_]

Thought you had more sub lol

[@ScottMadeAThing]

I'll take that as a compliment haha. One day, maybe, I will get to 1,000 - that'd be good enough for me haha. I better get cracking on putting up my 100+ projects I've already filmed 😂

[@liamjolly691]

lol it worse that jacob r's dessert ps3

[@adi22121]

i subscribed to tell you that you use to much thermal paste

[@ScottMadeAThing]

Hahaha so my plan worked! 😂
