So that's about LKR 45k?

Anyone know how much an Xbox 360S with a 250GB HDD would be in SL if one is to buy one?

Machan give Nastars a ring http://www.nastarslk.com/feed/contact-us

Then try Micro center at MC(0776264373,the guys name is Nadhan.),usually they are cheaper than Nastars...

hey guys need some help!!

A friend of mine had given his XBOX 360 for repairs to a Place called Supertone Electronics at Lucky Plaza on the ground floor .. the shop has now shifted elsewhere along with his xbox... does anyone know where they've shifted to?

[MasterDon]

The place was called Supertronics,Last I heard the guy was doing repairs at his residence.Will try and find the contact details.

My Xbox360S refuses to power up despite the power pack indicator showing orange. Has anyone encountered this ?

[terrabytetango]

Yes. Mine suffered a similar fate last weekend. Did you move it recently? Or if its kept vertically was it knocked over? The early xb360s (like mine) were notorious for bad solder joints. Last weeks issue had me going over the mobo with Fluke in hand testing voltages, though I didn't find anything. Then when I placed it back in the chassis, the damn thing booted up as if nothing had happened. AND I was able to download the blades of time demo (the cause of it all) without any further issues.

IMO these things are very temperamental, I've already placed an order for a 4GB slim model because I'm tired of the anxiety this thing causes me whenever I power it up. Also have you done xclamp mod? If you haven't suffered the RROD yet, you will eventually, so might as well get that done, it's especially useful in our climate.

Hi, no machang, it was not moved at all. In fact I was playing ODST a few weeks back and it was fine. I stripped it and cleaned all the contacts the best I could after your reply but still no joy. Guess I will have to hand it over to a place that will know what the issue is.

Thanks for the reply

BTW, mines a Xbox 360S with a 250GB HDD.

Didn't know the slims faced these issues as well. Keep us apprised of how things go, it'll be informative to know what went wrong with it.

[VVTi]

You'd be surprised at the number of Slim failures videos on YT, similar issues, Orange Light on, no power. So far both the console and the power brick are in stripped to their components...

Will update.

There is a guy called "dave computers" on GLK forum, get in touch with him. From what i hear his service is excellent and the price isnt too bad either.

Called him, he will be back in Colombo only on Wednsday. Will take it and get him to check.

@ShanX is your PSU orange light glowing with no power to the console?

[terrabytetango]

I burnt mine back in the states, bought a cheapo ebay one in early 2009, no issues with it so far. Of course, ymmv.

Is it a Slim? Wondering if I can hook it up to mine and test?

[terrabytetango]

Unfortunately no, its the first gen shitty version with square connector.

Dang!

Guys... quick question.

Thinking of getting a PS3 , I know it can play 3D moves and games but will it still work if I hook it up to a 3D TV which uses passive 3D glasss ? ( LG)

From what I check on the net Sony is using active 3D on all its TV, so wondering if the PS3 is also wired the same way. And if its not compatible with the TV I have a problem..

hey hey...i too have the shitty old box but it works like a charm

Nop, mine completely down, coz in my case it was my stupidity, i plugged in the 110v power brick without a voltage converter, right after i unpacked the console

My console is fine, i have a cousin's power brick with me at the moment. Btw how much is a new adapter from that guy?

region free works without hitches. my console is from the UK, supposed to be PAL but NTSC games work as long as they are region free
