I bought 8 xbox 360 consoles for £30 (part 1/2: initial testing)

whilst i was at an auto jumble sale today, i came accross a person selling various electronics, including a few xbox 360 consoles. i struck him a deal and got the whole lot of 360 consoles for £30.
this video only consists of testing if the console turns on and if the dvd drive works
more content to come soon about these consoles

Glad to see 360's being saved.

[@skylanderproductions4341]

Heatgun the zephyr. It made have an old dashboard on it that’ll make it worth saving. Have a new GPU installed

[@ktg5]

Don’t heatgun it, you can damage many more components inside the 360. Instead towel-trick it to see if it’s worth replacing the GPU.

[@larascion]

The heat gun can only damage other components if done incorrectly, too fast, too much or too high on the temperature scale really. ​Some people have heat gunned their 360s and they've work for long after. @@ktg5

Can we get electronics gadgets in autojumble?

[@antoinevs7201]

Man where do you get those crazy deals! Best I could do was 4 for 30€ shipped.

[@YoungMrBlue]

It’s called desperately scootering the internet for 2 hours

[@kylleramirez5307]

So can we get part 2?

[@declangaming24]

£30 for 8 xbox 360s sounds like a good deal for my xbox one I payed like £20 for a good condition console from a family friend

the account on the first xbox you tryed is still active in 2024 lol

i used to own a xbox when i was younger that had a stuck drive all you had to do was smack it until it opened it console never broke on me besides that

[@NSHG]

Have you plugged the Zephyr properly in? I've had issuse with Xenon/Zeph units' PSUs not going all the way in properly. Especially if the fan didn't start up when powered.

[@windowsxpnt2347]

It showed 3 red lights which indicates a general hardware failure, normally a dead gpu. I did try to get it to boot, but I never could

[@NSHG]

@@windowsxpnt2347 It'll do that if you don't plug the PSU in full as well. Had it happen, thought it was broken. Pushed it far enough to hear the click of the PSU latches, then it worked fine and booted into NXE 12625. This was on a Xenon btw, but Zeph units also have that plug.
It's only a true HW failure if the fans also start up while the RROD appears. If it only RRODs without fan spin, again, check that the PSU is fully plugged in (at the maximum extent possible).

[@windowsxpnt2347]

@@NSHG unfortunately at the time i didn't have any other 203w psu's on hand to test with, and i have now thrown the board away due to the red ring (which is really annoying since i have recently obtained another 203w psu). however in future i will keep all this in mind

[@aimanrulez7339]

@@NSHGyou’re deaf to not hear the zephyrs fan bro it was definitely dead from solder joints breaking

How do you buy those big lots of Xbox 360 consoles?

[@random_user276]

the fact he got that many jaspers makes him lucky
one reason why is because the jaspers are least likely to to red ring of death/RRod
