console repair shop

[jonathang]

my original xbox just broke yesterday i wonder if there a good repair shop to fix my original xbox

Considering Gamestop sells them new for $50, it probably wouldn't be worth the money.

Whats the problem with it? You may be able to fix it yourself.

it doesn't turn on

If no lights go on when you hit the button then I'd guess it's a power supply issue, and you'd be better off getting a new used one.

what? no rant about how crappy the broken xbox is? but the tv rant was so impassioned!

I think people have more respect for the original Xbox. Personally I thought it was one of the best consoles of last generation.

The only options are to repair it yourself: Look for tutorials/forum posts on www.xboxscene.com. It may be slightly cheaper to get a spares/repairs xbox from ebay that doesn't have a problem with the PSU and then swapping it out.

Or just buy another one.

I would choose the latter. They aren't that expensive now.
