Then you have to buy all of the nessasary parts to fix it. About $10 bucks for xclamp fix (OVERHEATING ISSUES) About $40 to fix the DVD issues. So if you have both problems then your grand total is about $190 bucks. You better off buying a new one especially if your not sure if you can fix it. I buy broken ones becuase I know I can fix them and I am not keeping them so I don't have to purchase all of the other stuff. I just sell them without that other stuff. Hope that helps. and good luck on your choice...  |
Thanks for the response. I have been looking and noticed almost all of them dont come with the cables and controls. I saw a guy on here selling a new power brick for 40 bucks shipped if he still has it and a new A/V cable for 10 shipped. I did find an xbox i might be able to get a hold of WITH the power brick and cables. I never did ask if it had the red rings but he said it has hardware failure when he turns it on it has a screen with a bunch of languages saying that, I thought i read that thats what it is, that says the red rings thing. I did ask him but havent receieved a response yet. I assume he hasnt opened it. I am fairly good with electronics i would think i could do it with a little help just telling me what to do. Im sure i can find a ton of tutorials online. But the only thing is im afraid if i do buy it, there is a chance i wont be able to fix it. And even if i cant fix it myself there is a chance i cant get it fixed at all right?
