Kwijibo Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Ok. My darn diddely arned Xbox is giving me more problems then ever. I have the older model that has the Thompson drive. It just keeps getting worse. It crashes all the time on Outlaw Golf2, it has a problem loading Halo2 (but after it loads,no problems) now it's giving me problems with Vice City (more than was happening when it when it first came out and played the heck out it). I was thinking "maybe its running too hot" so I put a fan on it while running. I 'may' have noticed a small difference last night during the test, but it crashed & so did I. Basically asking if there's anything I could do to help this beast survive until winter. (assuming BC on XB2) . Take it apart? Throw it across the room? I don't want to buy another xbox or drive itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherbz Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 You might try DVD drive cleaners, but aside from replacing the drive or getting it serviced by MS, there's not much that really works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwijibo Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Thanks. I'm looking into a cleaner now (that along with 2 DVD's...gotta love ebay) "Oh, I'll buy this, while I'm at it, take this & this :p" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff W Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 If it's shot you could experiment with it, I had a friend who bought a few busted x-boxes and attempted to bondo in the fins, add lights, and paint it. Didn't work out but no harm in trying if it's not working anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
