I Bought 3 UNTESTED Xbox 360 Consoles from Goodwill… will they work??

[@jrob0021]

So I didn’t really talk about it in the video, but that Xbox from GameStop had some weird stuff going on inside 😂 like screws missing, spliced wires, etc. and I’m 99% it was GameStop that did those things because the GameStop warranty sticker was still intact. I’m not surprised tho lol

I was just going to say that lol. Gamestop had this bright idea to hook the fans directly to the 12 volt line, so the fans run at full blast. They say that it would "last longer".

Any gamestop refurbished 360 is basically a goner. They bolted the heat sinks instead of using the x clamps and did the fan mod which makes the fan run at full speed at all times.

When I bought my 360 arcade back in 2008 I was only just setting it up and my mum came in and said ‘what are you using the hairdryer for?’

[@spikethespacecowboy]

I watched a 12 yo open a 360 before I opened mine 10 years ago, he was very thorough. You don't have to put the top back on the disc drive, you can just remove the magnetic spindle cap out of the top of the disc drive casing and just set it on top of the disc right after the drive goes back in. There's just a silver plastic circle stuck to the top of the drive casing that can be peeled back to access the magnetic spindle cap. I kept one from one of my parts systems and just use that for any other drive I test, that way I don't have to peel that sticker back on every drive. The sticker has a very strong adhesive, so it can be placed back on the disc drive case quite a few times before the sticker stops being sticky. Doing it this way allows you to see the laser and how well it's working. A laser 'pot tweek' can bring life back to a dim blurry laser that stopped reading discs, and make it bright and dense again.

[@Jaydiboi12]

yes sir

[@willissudweeks1050]

With disc consoles it’s hit or miss. Things that play cartridges usually work from thrift stores except for the nes. Which never ever works used haha

My dad did get a few xbox 360's back in 2007-8 and me and my brother got to play on one of them, later both of us got the slim version, but he still has like 5 white old xbox 360 and some of them might still have the blades dashboards. I know the one my brother and I had back in 2006, but sadly updated it as we played.

[@mr0czusek]

thats not good. i do the same as soon as we updated because of Kinect updates my xbox 360 without internet. ( believe it was game will automatically updates ? ) then we got internet later in 2012.

[@iSamYTBackup]

if it has the green lines startup it's 100% metro no matter what

[@californiafox3974]

If GameStop removed the heat sink screws on an early 360, that’s a common sign of a bolt mod. (Bad)

Goodwill again? Oh no... I wonder if they are broken

[@jasonmartinez5116]

14:43 The service year being 2010 on this Xbox 360 with no HDMI port might mean that it has the rare Elpis Xbox 360 motherboard (if the console is powered with 203W)! Elpis was introduced by Microsoft to fix any faulty Xenon Xbox 360s that may have RROD'ed during their lifetime. Elpis was first introduced in mid 2009. They're basically modified Xenon mobos to fix the RROD problem, and Microsoft would continue to fix Xenon consoles with the Elpis board until 2011

It was always common for the front USB flap/cover on these original fat model xboxes to be broken. As they seemed to break very easily. As it was just held in place by a very small spring clip and tiny plastic side mounting pegs.

The person from GameStop that started the bolt mod should be put in jail for all the Xbox 360 consoles they ruined over the years.

[@brandontyler1754]

A butter knife works better than banging on the top of them just FYI. My first 360 the disk drive would get stuck on and I would just hit the eject button while lightly prying in it with a butter knife and it would usually come open

[@robleavold84]

You just take faceplate of and there is a small hole at bottom of the disk drive use a paper clip and the disk drive opens.

[@jrob0021]

That’s what I’ve done plenty of times in the past, but something was up with the 2nd console. Something in the hole seemed to be blocking me from pushing the gears. It was weird. I should’ve tried it on console 1 though lol, I just completely forgot about it until console 2

I had one of the OG X-Boxes that had the blades dashboard, me and a friend were playing Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock with guitar bundle that I got for my birthday, the problem (out of 4) was the motherboard melted. problem 2, after shipping it to get fixed in Frankfurt, Germany, it came back working for a few months, and when i went to play it one day, i had the dreaded E74 error, telling me the graphics card has died, so back to Frankfurt it went for a new Jaspar motherboard, it again came back working and only 2 weeks of me receiving the console back, problem 3 was the Laser died, so I couldn't play any disc based games or play my music CDs. my uncle and his friend fixed the laser for me, which worked for a week, (no fault of their own) and this is the final problem before i gave up, my disc drive made a grinding noise. so it was a useless system riddled with problems. we got a pre-owned PlayStation 3 console, which had the disk take in spit-out take back in problem AFTER 3 YEARS of owning it.
