My faithful Xbox360 just died - power button lights up in the middle, but no red or green rings surrounding. Can someone link me to a good troubleshooting site?

Sounds like it is the power brick. I service Xbox 360s for side cash.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

I also solder in new parts and replace the eyes in the drive. Rebuild disk drives and the gears/bands. I also do modded controllers and led lighting. Personally for me I solder in new stick controls because they break after a while.
Systems I rebuild: Nintendo(all but Wii) Dreamcast, POS1&2 all xbox consoles including rock band gear.
I never saw the point of spending money sending it back in for repairs when you can do everything yourself. It is good your brother is in to it. He should learn how to solder, that opens SO many doors to repair.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

I've just seen him work and not actually sat there with him watching him. All I know is he uses a soldering iron for the inside when he cracks the thing open and other small things that have to do with the disc reader? I've given him two rides to Home Depot for washers he said he needed, lol. So I dunno what he's actually doing.
It's cool because we got 2 Xbox's now. For free!(from being fixed by him).

ps3's memory gets corrupted a lot, 360's overheat easy, games freeze a lot, red ring is inevitable sometime in your xbox's life, and a fuck load of other things, I'm still an xb0x dude even though i recently bought a ps3Originally posted by JafxodFuck, I need to find me a girl friend for this winter to nestle my penis inside and keep it warm.

I have a launch model xbox 360 and haven't had any real issues with it. Occasionally it thinks the game disc is a DVD though lol

however i have had a chrager cable fail on me, that lasted for a year, but it started to not maintain a contnnueous power connection to my controller, and it would shut it off durring game play, very problematic for beign online. so i stopped using that, and am back to using batteries.
I need to work up the effort and go get a AA battery charger, and some rechargeable batteries. would save me money in the long term.

So I'm looking at PS3's on eBay, and there's old fat versions, slim new versions, and a few "backwards compatible" versions. The backwards deal would be nice since there's lots of good PS2 games around for cheap. Is the backwards compatible feature a mod? How well does it work? Any reason the slim new model is worth the extra money?
Educate me.
