A new year… a new post. Here’s hoping 2010 will be the year I get back into blogging… instead of just writing one post a year!
Seems like my XBox360 repair adventures have generated a bit of interest, but alas I’m sad to report my X-Clamp fix lasted only a few months. I rarely play my [...]
I know I know… I’ve taken too long to blog about this, but if it’s any consolation, I think I’ve finally fixed my XBox360 for sure!
Background Info: I got the dreaded Three Red Rings of Death problem on my XBox360 with error code “0020″. I tried almost every fix available out there:
Towel Trick – Worked [...]
My previous posts detailed my 2 attempts at fixing my XBox360 RROD problem (error code “0020″). To recap, I attempted the towel trick and heat-gun fix. The towel trick lasted only a few days while the heat-gun had my XBox360 running for a few weeks.
I did more research and the only two options left for [...]
After my earlier attempt to fix my “0020″ XBox 360 three red rings of death (RRoD) problem using the dodgy “towel trick” failed, I did more in-depth research on the internet last weekend and decided to blog about my findings, and my (so-far) successful repair job.
First, some background on what exactly causes the dreaded RRoD. [...]
It’s been a long time since I posted anything, but I thought I better blog this quick before I got over how pleased I am with myself.
I was one of the first in Australia to get an XBox360 when it just launched. I pre-ordered my unit at Electronics Boutique and went for the launch night [...]
My rear projector TV has been stuffed for 2 months. Fortunately, I got an extended warranty for 5 years when I bought the TV. Unfortunately, the extended warranty wasn’t with Panasonic but another insurance company. To keep a long story short, it’s been 2 months, and the repairer is only coming this Thursday to repair [...]
2 months ago a friend of mine was going to the US for a holiday and wanted to borrow my Navman GPS pda. Instead of buying the US maps from Navman at their ridiculously high prices, my friend bought a copy of TomTom Navigator 5 and installed it on my Navman instead. Of course, I [...]
Apologies for not posting anything new in ages, but thought I’d share this little gem. Last year, I bought myself a Navman 300 Pocketpc GPS unit. As I used it more and more, I found it extemely difficult to establish a satellite lock, which meant I couldn’t use the stupid thing. When it worked, it [...]
I was very blessed this week. Not only did I get my replacement iPod yesterday, today my dear sister gave me her new Vodafone Sony Ericsson V600i 3G phone. Vodafone Australia’s trying to get everyone on to 3G, and are practically giving this phone away to any of their existing customers who ask for one.
My [...]
2 weeks ago, I had the sudden urge to backup all 28.5gb of music on my iPod. I use Anapod from Redchair, so it was a simple matter of copying and pasting to my hard drive.
So everything was dumped over without a hitch, but the next day, there was trouble! When I tried playing a [...]
