Anyone able to provide some insight as to why wrapping dead Xbox 360s in towels makes them start working again?
I’m confused.
Hmmm… discharging of static build ups?
Or maybe after all, Douglas Adam was smart about towels.
You mean – the Xbox360 is so daft that if it thinks you can’t see it is broken, then it’s not broken … ??
Or it is really depressed that it was manufactured by Microsoft…
(interesting.. the xbox could be daft after all…..)
(sidenote: I like your picture there. Haven’t seen that film in a long while!)
Possibly. I was leaning a little more towards the possibility that somehow causing it to overheat would reset the temperature sensors, or would somehow “bake” a component back into place…
Heh, like a kid covering its eyes while playing hide and seek? :P
I think the chances are static discharge and reset the temperature sensors are quite high. I hope someone takes a further look into this!
Hope you’re doing okay boy!
I think that is the idea behind it.
Yeah, me too, I’m very curious!
As for me, things are (slowly) improving. :)
Glad to hear that things are progressing :-)
First thing to do (before wrapping a towel about it)?
I love it. :)
Hahaha, didn’t notice that!
“i know what i want to change my name to now, i looked it up on ljay and noticed it was taken but the user wasn’t active with it. so i got in contact with them and they deleted it for me..
but i can’t take the username till its purged
and i dont wanna wait that long >_>
i was wondering if i could get a hold of a maintainter
and tell them that that person doesn’t want to use it anymore
and said i could have the name”
From my friend Dani. Any ideas?
Still needs to be purged.
