[@theduder2617]

9:00 That issue was caused by the way the power supply created it's 11 volt DC. It used a higher volt amp transformer, which not under a load, produces much more voltage than the circuit could handle. That higher voltage is present if plugged into the wall first. By plugging the unit in first, the DC converter was under a load as the transformer is plugged in, thus preventing the voltage spike. The explosions were the capacitors exceeding their maximum voltage.

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Oh so playing with this piece of junk was just like playing inside a substation, with electrocution and fires just waiting to happen….

[@theduder2617]

@@jasminejohnston6393 To an extent, yes. lol Just with lower voltages than exist at a substation, and with a greater risk of fire. Crazy part, I am still finding power supplies which possess such risks. I have a cell phone charger, that if not plugged into a load, produces 36 volts DC. While it does not destroy the phone, if the charger is plugged in before the phone, the phone shuts off the charge and claims the battery is fully charged until its unplugged. Some manufacturers utilize the absolute minimum needed. We have MUCH BETTER circuitry available with much better DC voltage production. But some manufacturers try to maximize profit by using older DC converter designs.

The Red Ring of Death was more common on older Xbox 360s. There are also 4 types of red ring of deaths. In fact, one of the Red Rings of Death happen if your AV cable isn't plugged in.

Here are the tricks I employed, step by step, that fixed my red ringed console that lasted from 05'-13': -Take console outside, lay out a tarp neatly on concrete -Set console in the center of tarp, on either side -Disassemble the plastic body parts from the steal casing using hand tools -Lay the casing with all the electrical components gently in center of tarp -Find any readily available 4 lb+, hardened steal, rubber handled dead-blow hammer -Line up head of hammer with center of steal casing, raise hammer in air -Proceed to forcefully contact the steal casing in all areas with hammer repetitively -Continue to destroy steal casing for several minutes, contorting the shape into oblivion -Be sure console, and plastic pieces, are indistinguishable from their original form -Wrap up the contents in tarp neatly so you can carry it in a bundle -Toss into nearest trash bin -Buy new 360

[@aegisofhonor]

now, to be fair about the amstrad console fault, it's generally a good idea to plug the power supply into any unit that uses a detachable power supply before plugging it into the wall, even "non-faulty" power supplies can damage electronics if you plug something into a wall first then plug it into the unit. I even almost damaged my old phone some years ago because I plugged the power cord into the power source first before plugging it into my phone; I never did that again after that.

[@aakkoin]

Yea, not all 360's had it, but the video said the number was a whopping 33%... that's a disaster. And on top of that there were other issues, I had to fucking brake apart my 360 and glue in a little piece of plastic to fix the disc-reading-lens... edit: and that was my second xbox360, first one broke cause of the ROD, if i remember right

[@aidenquinn19975]

[@alyssapeanut1135]

To be fair, R.O.B was more to actually sell the NES itself rather than support it. It was before the NES launched that we just had the Video Game Crash thanks to bombs like E.T, and not many stores back then would have wanted to sell video game systems anymore. R.O.B was more to convince the stores that the NES was a toy instead to get it on the market.

The NES was mostly a defective hardware due to its architecture and pin insertion. Inserting and press down like a VCR being prone to unable to start a game constantly flashing the screen. Contrast to the Famicom having a more user friendly design uses the top loading cartridge mechanism. Plus a sturdy console and hardware expansion in the two pins that were removed in the NES.

The Power Glove wasnt defective. I have one, and even to this day, it works perfectly. There were two actual problems: 1, most people never read instructions when setting up technical things, and are often terrible at it in any case (though they will always always always believe they did it right), and 2, there was ONE game, Super Glove Ball, that was actually designed for the thing (and as far as I know, not actually playable with any other controller). Using the glove on any other game required even MORE setup. The more effort the consumer needs to put in, the less likely they are to actually do any of it right. Particularly back then, when most people werent used to "high-tech" stuff to begin with. Super Glove Ball was a great game, which I've played quite a bit... the control of it, with the glove, always worked perfectly, but that's because I used it correctly. It's actually *very* accurate, which is impressive for such an ancient device. But yeah, most people dont even read the bloody manuals when it comes to stuff like this. They just haphazardly do what passes for "setup" for them, and then wonder why the car in Rad Racer wont do what they want. The biggest mistake Nintendo made with the glove was simply not making it user-friendly enough. But that's not really their fault, considering how early this thing was made. The other true downside was that, even if it had been user-friendly, it still had exactly one game made for it. A good one, but ONE game does not sell a pricey console attachment. They should have learned that much from ROB.

The RU was a cool advancement towards technology of this day. This includes things such as Alexa, a computer that listens and does a command. The power glove was a step towards things as the Wii. If you do so recall, was made by Nintendo. It made way for the orginal Wii and later the Wii U. The Sega activator helped a lot towards things as the Oculus. While it is a wee bit different, ok, a lot different but, it was a step towards sensory equipment which really sucked at the time. It took a step towards improving.

The Famicom disk system has a really cheap belt for the disc drive. Lastly, the Sega Game Gear used cheap capacitors, which blow out prematurely.

random toe jam and earl music was the best part of this video

[@personwhossmart2765]

that moment when x box 360 comes up and you have an x box 360

[@shneakyclips7823]

Same

[@princesspixel3151]

I know that feel. But at least I stopped using it and I haven't even checked to see if that dreaded red ring has appeared yet!

[@lunahetfield]

person whos smart i have a xbox one i wanted a 360 but they dont make it anymore

[@voicelessscooby]

I still have a working xbox 360

[@AlanHKBoy]

Same. I have a xbox 360. But it's a slim model so there's a harder chance of rrod (You still get rrod on xbox 360 slim but it's rare)

[@Midknyte182]

Man, Nintendo is just proof that not all time travelers are smart and can relay 30 year future technology. Hahaha.

I was wondering if the Coleco ADAM would get at least an honorable mention for the lack of magnetic shielding, which would cause tapes left in the drive to potentially be bulk erased when the system was powered on. Nasty little surprise.

[@AidanCarey55]

I got passed the red ring by getting scared, not knowing what to do, and immediately unplugging the system as soon as it turned. Plugged it back in thinking it was bricked. Nope. Works perfectly. Still have it to this day and that was 10 years ago.

[@jasonjuneau]

Should've have done this episode featuring AVGN for the whole video

[@aaroncreagh4402]

The Red Ring of Death really sucked. (At least Microsoft recalled all affected units and either fixed or replaced them.)

[@Umbra_of_Emberspike]

Thank God I got my 360 only a few years ago. I certainly never had that problem and must have gotten lucky.

[@someguye7451]

I had the red ring of death plenty of times it's been running for 5 years now and it just like new

[@josephfrick6743]

man, and I thought the red ring of death was bad till I saw #1 lol

[@samuelpreston7547]

God is this list just a Nintendo slag off? At least Nintendo had the balls to try what no other game company wouldn't!

[@MrItsaplane]

Yes, the balls to suck.

[@g2ltt733]

Ey stop mocking on my nintendo :'(

[@godli6063]

Edward Severinsen actually some things like the roll n rocker are made By Konami

[@V3ntilator]

None of the Nintendo ones were as stupid as using forehead for movement or keep saying fire 1000 times in a level. Even Wii Balanceboard is less stressful.

[@sonicworldcafe]

But we all know... Sega does what Nintendon't

[@Cornfiglep]

Actually I'm pretty sure when you sent your RRoD 360, they actually just sent you a DIFFERENT one instead of sending you yours repaired (maybe they fixed it and repackaged it?) I know this because some of the markings mine had on it from some wear (and a mishap with a pen) were missing.

I've never even heard of the Nintendo VRU, ever, and I was obsessed with the Nintendo 64 in 1998, I loved it. I'm thinking the VRU was not released in Australia where I live. Not a product I'm even interested in.
