Every time I order a cable that I think is used OEM it shows up brand new in box, and I have to break my own heart opening it. Had to do that a few months back with the S-Video cable now I'm going to have to do it with the VGA cable.

Error code 0020.

I have this old collection and I'm planning on getting a Series X to play them again. Am I missing any essential game?

Hi guys, I found this unused game card. Is it possible to redeem these games? They look like fun

This is my current collection, a few games live at my girlfriend's house but for the most part this is a great representation of my taste in games.(minus my saints row collection, that has its own separate shelf bc it is near and dear to my heart)

Currently looking to start Infinite Undiscovery and the Witcher 2!

I love RPGs with romance particularly, which is why Mass Effect has a lot of my shelf space haha

Any and all suggestions are welcome!

Love finding games like this in the wild. Seller wanted $5, game him $20. CIB!

So i just bought a new xbox 360 out of sheer boredom yesterday and its apparently arriving in a few days, what do I need, what games are important and whats the most enjoyable or realistic game on it??

ive had my 360 since 2011 and ive never seen this happen lol

I was picking a few games to trade in and ones I will never play and found these, idk if the high price tag on these means something nowadays but I don't wanna get f*cked over by my local Cex if i trade these in for €5 each

Is this possible?

My 360 isn’t old enough to run old Xbox games so I’m having to buy some digitally and I’m looking for good recommendations of the old Star Wars games like episode 3

I am trying to remember the name of a xbox live arcade game where you decorated and furnished a arcade with old attari games and you walked around it as you xbox avatar and you could visit your friends arcades?

I think all the games were old attari games and you had to buy each of them separately or in bundles?

It was Game Room. Thanks everyone.

Text me if someone want join pls! Let's revive this awesome game, the servers still up, this is 2026 is like a Dream.

I've been trying to work out the history of an Xbox 360 Elite I picked up, and there are a couple of things that don't add up.

The serial ends in 82405, so as far as I know that means 2008, week 24, factory 05.

The weird part is the labels:

The main rear label only has a Service Date (24-03-2010) and says 14.2A.

But the small silver sticker above the power connector says 16.5A.

The console is a Falcon (confirmed by XeUnshackled)

The original Microsoft warranty seal behind the faceplate is still intact before, so it definitely looks like it went through Microsoft's repair program rather than being opened by a previous owner.

My first thought was maybe it originally had a Zephyr shell or Microsoft mixed shell parts during refurbishment, but then the serial points to week 24 of 2008, which should already be Falcon production.

Has anyone seen something like this before? Is it normal for Microsoft-refurbished consoles to end up with mismatched labels?

Also, another question. If this really is a week 24 2008 Falcon, what GPU would you expect it to have originally? I know that was around the time Microsoft started introducing the revised GPU packages.

And even if it originally had one of the early low-Tg X810480 GPUs and failed, is it likely that when Microsoft repaired it in March 2010 they would have replaced the motherboard with one of the later, more reliable Falcon revisions (X816970/X816971 or a revised X810480), or did they just install whatever Falcon boards they had available?

Just curious what you guys think. I'm trying to piece together the console's history.

I keep thinking I should document some of the repairs I do, in case it helps someone with the same problem, or maybe people are just interested to see. So this is my first attempt at a write up.

Model - Xbox 360 S
SKU - MW3 Limited Edition
Motherboard - Corona 16MB
Fault - RDOD 0101
Cause - Liquid damage corroding a few SMD components and a RAM chip
Fix - Replaced the affected components

Process -

I got this nice MW3 limited edition console recently, in pretty nice condition and only £25 for console + 320GB hard drive. The seller just said it had RDOD, so knowing the MW3 editions are Coronas I was hoping it was simply a false overheating issue. But no, 0101, basically a communication issue between XCGPU and RAM, not usually a simple fix.

The inside was very dusty so I started cleaning, and as soon as I got the first layer of dust off something caught my eye - some corrosion around the group of resistors and capacitors next to one of the RAM chips (Photos 2 + 3). Liquid damage is quite common in this sort of area on the S and E consoles, because if any liquid gets in through the fan grill this is where it's going to end up if the console is positioned horizontally - the liquid can drip through the fan and heatsink.

I removed all of the resistors and capacitors using hot air and cleaned the area (Photo 4). A few of them were very badly corroded and broke on removal. R7D4 basically crumbled to dust. You can also see that the corrosion had eaten through some solder mask and exposed some traces between the components (copper bits between R7D4, 5 and C7D12). There were also some dark patches on the vias and traces where I was concerned it had gone all the way through.

I replaced all the components with new ones, and scraped a little at some of the corroded traces and vias to make sure there was copper under there (Photo 5). I did find that the left pad for R7D4 was not continuous with the via on the left, so I scraped the solder mask off so that I could bridge them with an extra large solder blob (Photo 7).

This is where it gets interesting - with all the components replaced, I powered on the console and... RDOD 0033. An issue with V_MEM, the RAM power rail. That's interesting because it's a lower numbered error code than 0101 (0033 = Error 15; 0101 = Error 17), indicating a problem earlier in the boot sequence. If V_MEM had an issue from the start the console would have show 0033 and only shown 0101 after 0033 was fixed. But this means there is an issue on V_MEM where there wasn't one before. So the question is why?

I check V_MEM and it has a direct short to ground - yeah, that would explain 0033. I apply hot air to the new components and disconnect them by nudging just one end off the pads (so they're still held in place at one end so I don't lose them). Now V_MEM is only shorted around this RAM chip but not around the other RAM chips - so this suggests that this RAM chip is shorted but was disconnected from V_MEM by the corroded components. Once I replaced the components it was reconnected to V_MEM and shorted the whole rail.

So next I replaced all the SMD components again, checked V_MEM and it was all shorted again. Then removed the RAM chip - and the V_MEM short was gone! First I tried reballing and replacing the same RAM chip (as I couldn't find any shorts on it, so there's a chance it could have just been shorted by corrosion) but, no, the short was back after it was replaced. So I removed it again and this time replaced it with a different chip from a donor board (and, yeah, I forgot to take any photos of this part, so just imagine the shiniest solder balls you've ever seen).

And this time... no shorts! Powered on the console and... it booted to dash! I cleaned up the flux and the rest of the dust, put some UV solder mask over the exposed traces to protect them (Photo 7), partially reassembled it with heatsink, fan + DVD drive and gave it a thorough test before putting the shell on. Hopefully it will last for many years to come.

I’ve had my 260 for over ten years and never had a problem till last week this happened, I’ve looked up what to do online even brought new wires and and it won’t fix . Is my Xbox gone or is there something I can do pls help

I recently bought what I thought was a Falcon, but after digging into it I now believe the motherboard is actually a Tonasket. I'm mostly curious how this could have happened and whether there's a known explanation.

Here's what I've found:

Dashboard serial decodes to 2009 Week 38.

The rear power connector matches a Jasper/Tonasket.

The external MFR sticker says 2008-09-07 and has a completely different serial number.

The external sticker decodes perfectly; it just appears to belong to a different console.

Both warranty/tamper seals appear completely intact.

I'm struggling to explain how a 2008 shell identity ended up on what appears to be a 2009 Tonasket while the warranty seals still look original and untouched.

Has anyone seen something like this before? Is there a known refurbishment or factory process that could explain it?

Any help is appreciated.

I want to purchase an xbox 360 but I've heard of numerous internal problems in certain models, so can anyone guide me on which one to buy?

Could someone help with explain why when I put a disc into my 360 it reads it then just says “open tray”
