--- Quote from: redsox2012 on July 22, 2012, 12:05:25 AM ---When my 360 RROD'ed (after nearly 4 years), I used the Q-tip-stopping-the-fan trick that I saw on Youtube. I was able to get it working just long enough to trade it in at Gamestop. They turned it on, and it worked in the store. It actually froze again right before they shut it off, but they didn't notice. I got $85 store credit, which I immediately applied towards a new 360 slim. --- End quote --- Yeah, that trick didn't work for me. :'( |

Found an official SNES Controller for $5. Just needed a light cleaning, and all the buttons feel great! Also, Sunset Riders for SNES for $5. YEAH! |

You have no qualms about doing this? |

I'm with Shenske on this one 110%. This sort of thing has been brought up before (ripping off retailers) and it's frowned upon by pretty much everybody here, so I would probably avoid suggesting it or telling your personal stories about doing so. |

Really pissed me off and i ended up taking it back and picking up the "Arcade" system. Worst part of the experience was having to go back and forth with the staff about the dead unit. Putting people through that is not cool especially if its bought for a kid. |
