Wrap the x box in a blanket and let the soldering cook back on. I've seen videos it actually works.

PRON isnt always the cause of virus's esp when you use online video streaming sites  .
Down loading music and movies is what kills most peoples computers. Iv had to rebuild my main computer 5 times in the last year and my back up 2 times while I was fixing the main computer.
Just recently I got a NASTY virus that destroyed my MOTHERBOARD believe it or not. I was able to save the recently download 40 gigs of music, put my backup back together deleted the corrupt file and saved my music.

yeah i had a party and someone helped themselves to downloading pron. i use a 500gb external hard drive for most of my stuff. i was pretty pissed though when i turned it on and it was actually screaming, sounded like a tea kettle boiling in a terrible why oh why kind of way. then the xbox craps on me. they did extend the 3 ring warranty to 3 years so thats sweet. but i just don't have the time to deal with crap crapping out on me. i am waiting for the z28 to experience catastrophic failure.....

this type of stuff happens to me all the time. i broke my laptop like it stopped charging...took it apart, soldered it, it charged, then the keyboard u had to hit hard for buttons to sometimes work and the mouse skipped but me and a friend figured that out..it was like a wire being pinched.
just stupid shyte constantly.
