Xbox back from the Dead!!!
15 years ago
Hi Everyone
I can't believe, my Xbox is back from the dead it seems.
Last night i attempted the Penny Fix as seen on youtube where 8 pence worth of pennies, wrapped in electrical tape are stuck ontop of the 4 chips on the underside of the Xbox motherboard with thermal paste and then once the machine is reassembled you do the towel trick. This morning after leaving it all night i turned it on, IT CAME ON. I then played Gears 2 on Horde for at least an Hour and a Half without it shutting off, the air coming out the back of my machine was warm, but not HOT. I also played GTA4 and Kane's Wrath with a combined time of at least 3 to 4 hours worth and it didn't have any ill effects on my Xbox so far. It does seem like my Xbox is back from the dead, only time will tell for how long the penny fix holds out, here's hoping its permanant like it says in the vid.
