    FYI, the sealed "Microsoft warranty holographic sticker" was put there just so Microsoft would know if the case had been opened before to deter people from thinking they could fix their own electronics, but it's illegal for companies to void your warranty solely based on one sticker by using this method of using those "tamper proof" stickers so if you attempted to repair your console yourself.
    So they were basically put there to make you think that you couldn't send it back to Microsoft to get RROD fixed if the seal had been broken....but by law they had to fix all RROD consoles after the whole "right to repair" law passed which made it where companies like Apple/MS etc couldn't prevent you from replacing the screen or battery on your iPhone (as opposed to strictly making you pay the OEM company to fix/replace/install any broke parts by "official Microsoft technician")
    Source: I used to buy RROD 360s for like $10-25 on Craigslist or had broken disc drives, and I'd look up the serial number and then request a box from Microsoft where they would send a prepaid foam box for you to ship the console back to Microsoft for them to either fix the GPU heat sync and washers/screws... which was what most of the RROD consoles were caused from, which was the onboard GPU overheating due to how the factory put the heatsync on. Or they'd sometimes upgrade your entire motherboard to a newer version that couldn't get RROD....and im still using 2 of those OG black "Elite" 360 models that still run like new to this day....as I absolutely had a love/hate relationship with the newer "slim" black consoles with the front touch sensitive on button that could ruin your 12 hour long gaming session if you had a cat that brushed its tail ANYWHERE near the front of the console and it would either open the disc drive or completely turn the console off.
    Also used to replace the disc drives...by plugging in the SATA port of the disc drive into my PC and to read the disc drive to see what manufacturer/model the drive was to replace it with the same model drive and use Monkey Flasher to flash the security key that is binded to each disc drives specific console and reflash the firmware and original security key to the new disc drive so it would continue playing games... since all of the security features for game piracy etc was all just from one little chip they added on to different Samsung/Lite-On/etc 360 disc drives)

    For context as someone who worked for Goodwill, that tag appears to be a label that would be used for organizing products that are getting prepared for shipping or pickup. The top line is the Goodwill it was prepped at, middle line would be the name of the employee who prepped or listed the product online, and the date of packaging. The letter and number code at the very bottom is used to identify products as they are being shelved in the warehouse.
    It could be that this console was supposed to be picked up by a customer, but they never came so they sold it in a lot.

    Broken or dirty sensor switches for the tray position will make the light blink and tray not cooperate. Also if some plastic tracking is broke off the bottom of the tray. You must have some spare trays to swap in. Slims will also do this if the sensor block is knocked out of place where it clips in to the black plastic. Also some of these plastics are getting super brittle, especially the 15+ year old ones.

    • @jrob0021
      @jrob0021  Před 9 měsíci +21

      I tried a tray swap (with the elite console that was having slight issues) and it didn’t do anything. The sensors were also cleaned and seems to be playing nicely. I do wonder if some of the plastic inside of the elite tray was warped or ever so slightly out of place though.. (since it appears someone was originally trying to pry the disc drive out). Either way, it seems to be working ok now once I swapped in a slightly used belt instead of a brand new one. Any other random symptoms you’ve seen with 360 drives?

      @@jrob0021 No but I got another tip about a 360 issue that literally nobody ever talks about. When you reassemble the 360 and put the motherboard back in the cage, pay attention that the board does not flex. One corner might not want to lay flat and spring up. That is because the X-Clamp is pushing against the bottom of the cage. This was the only issue with X-clamps from day one and nobody got the solution right. Easiest fix is to tap out the cage around the black screw holes until the board seats good.

    I wish gaming had the same vibe back when the 360 was new, like 2006-2009. Maybe I just feel that way because I was young but just the vibe of taking your console to your friends, cousins, or grandparents. Before pre orders you had to wait outside to get it at midnight so you didn't have to wait forever just to get the game. The jankyness of the consoles too even though that was why they'd break but that's even nostalgic to me. Even the game informer mags. Best times for me specifically where winter nights during the holidays playing gta 4, MW2, Halo 3 just waiting for Christmas, seeing family, and just always eating good food... man....

    The white ones sucked and would break down on you in less than a year.

I recall a particular bit of misinformation from someone saying "it shows his face without a helmet!" led me to IMMEDIATELY go home and download it as soon as school was over... In fact, that trailer still sits on my console to this very day owing to how nostalgic it is and relatively little space it uses

    Hey Jacob just to let you know whether the Xbox 360s has 4gb depends on the model year. For example the Trinity is the one that doesn't have the 4gb nand chip, they where manufactured up until about 2011 August, anything after that would be a Corona motherboard which has the 4gb chip

      The model that had the 4GB NAND chip was when they began making the newer slim models to sell the cheaper priced "barebones" 360 model as before you could only buy the regular and the elite models with a 250 or 500gb removable hard drive inside(or owned the original models with the big shiny removable 120 and 250GB HDD that were on the outside...but then after they began selling the little black internal hard drives with the ribbon sticking out of them separately.... that's when they began selling a considerably cheaper priced base model or "core model" for those people who either didn't have the funds to buy the more expensive console model OR They already owned a HDD ....or just planned on buying the expensive 250/500GB HDD at a later time when they began selling the official Microsoft hard drives separately
      ....so they had to include the 4GB chip on the $150 base model so you could still turn the console on and have enough space to install firmware/operating system updates and a tiny bit of space to install like CZcams or Netflix or something and have the operating system baked into the board so you could still turn on the console and sign into your gamertag without owning or having a separate hard drive installed (or by using the old Microsoft 32MB portable memory cards that plugged into the front of the console similar to how the PlayStation had portable memory cards for transporting game saves between consoles)saving your game saves) to hold just the operating system when they increased the size of the newer type of HDDs...and because by that time they had pushed out the firmware update where you could just plug in a USB Thumb drive or an external USB Hard Drive to use them for playing movies/music/and downloading the entire contents of a game disc to any 128GB USB drive or larger since I believe by that time they let you copy the contents of a game disc to an internal HDD or formatted USB drive to be able to play a game directly from your hard drive instead of wearing out your disc drive by having it constantly trying to read the 360 game disc the entire time you were playing a game...even though you still had to have the disc inserted so it could initially do a security check that you actually owned the game and then proceeded to read the contents of the disc directly from the HDD you downloaded the disc contents to.

It wasn't till the Xbox 360 S came out that I finally got something that remained stable. I still have that 360 S today and it still works (and has not needed maintenance).
    I may be interested in getting another one just to have it in matte black.

      You mention your 09 model, the system released in 05. They sustained at least a 33% defect rate and a fast failure rate for the first few years.
      At 06, the PS3 only had a 2% defect rate that went down rather quickly within a year.
