Ideas for a broken 360
Hi Guys, had the RROD fault, started out as loss of the video. Tried the "easy fix" now it's *********. Due to pressure and heat on the chips, the board has bowed under them oops. Got it in the oven @ 100c, don't know why, but it's worth a try.

Is there anything else worth doing if not what should I do with it.

It's too big to be a paper weight, not heavy enough to be a anchor for my boat, could get another and use them as book ends. Suggestions please.

Rip the guts out and put a Wii inside it, that'd confuse people!

Re: Ideas for a broken 360
Superglue it to somewhere and see how many people try to run away with it.

Seconded. However, you must film it and put the footage on here.

Re: Ideas for a broken 360
Door stop
Put it in a random places where people might find it and get really confused, like the fridge and ask your mate to get a beer out

Re: Ideas for a broken 360
I'm all for ripping the guts out but just to be different I'd put a Sega master system inside it - that'll confuse people. Alex kid ftw
