10/3 FIND:
My last find got me excited and i've been checking facebook, craigslist, and thriftstores more often now...
Well last night someone had posted they had a "BROKEN Xbox 360 with harddrive 2 games and controller for $25"!
Now I thought to myself I can sell the "broken 360" for $30 to someone who fixes them and keep the rest of the stuff for my collection.
Well I end up texting the guy and going to his house within 20minutes. He tells me it comes on and off constantly and wont stay powered and he says its the eye of the console. I told him well im not sure if thats whats causing that problem because your saying it doesnt power and he tells me oh yeah it is...
i dont argue with him, i tried giving him advice to help him out because i actually felt bad that he was selling it so cheap but as i was talking he kept tryin to cut me off from telling him what i thought so i hand him the money and thank him and leave.
i get to my house power it up and sure enough i get 3 seconds of power and it shuts off, it does this 5 or 6 times.
i take my power cord from my other 360 and switch them out and presto... "damaged eye" is now fixed. "Broken xbox" is now fixed.
The only other thing is, is that the door jams and doesnt open everytime and im afraid to try to fix it and make it worse. so if anyone has had this problem and fixed it ide appreciate some help.
So i got a WORKING Xbox 360, 120 gig harddrive, 2 games, 1 controller for $25!
sorry if but had to explain my story because broken things to some people arent what they seem to be.
