I assume it's broken but who knows.

Should I pick it up and see if it works/being it to a hardware repair place? Or just leave it

Maybe it can be modded?

I currently own a Gaming PC, Nintendo Switch Lite, PS5, PS4 and a few other Nintendo handhelds
one man's trash is another man's xbox 360 og that can maybe be modded

Not entirely true but it's certainly a bigger pain in the ass, probably more of a pain than it's worth.

Yeah it's the RROD model
I decided to take it. I guess I officially own my first Microsoft console now.

Going to take it to a Gaming hardware store tomorrow to see if it actually works

I hope it works out for you, TC

360 had some solid stuff:

Gears of War
Blue Dragon
Lost Odyssey
Dead Rising
Crackdown

And uh... I dunno what else >_>

I only feel a little bad because I hope somebody's Mom didn't just throw it out during house cleaning and the person actually wanted it.

But seeing how old it is, they probably literally didn't want it so I'm going to do my best to not feel bad lol

I never played Gears of War so maybe that's going to be worth it if it works.

If it works I'll clean it up, then connect it to my main TV as a second console lol

iirc the disc tray is like paired to the rest of the console and it won't even read a replacement unless you hack that shit to make the xbox think its the same tray

No way it works.
You're literally talking a 20yo console that has a 66% failure rate when new

Nope you're exaggerating. RROD was practically eliminated in late models.

There's a daughter board attached to the disc drive, if you transplant that to the new drive I believe it'll work. Requires soldering though.

At least I think that is the solution from memory.

Halo 3, ODST, Reach, and CE Anniversary

but yeah Dead Rising and Crackdown are in my top 5 for 360 games. So much mindless fun in both of them.

Pretty sure they meant the OG 360 and not the later revisions such as the Slim and Elite considering the TC happens to have found themselves an OG 360.

So I guess I really lucked out because the system not only works 100% but there was a left over copy of Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare in the disc drive.

Nice!

The repair guys also said they're not going to charge me anything since it works and they didn't have to do anything so I'm happy about that too.

I asked them what's the best way to prevent potential Red Ring of Death errors in the future, they Said I just have to keep it cool and well ventilated because it's mainly an overheating issue. They also said if I did want them to open it up and apply thermal paste to see if it would keep it cooler long term they could do that but it would be $100. I just decided to keep everything as is and save my money.

I'm pretty happy overall, pretty cool I lucked into this system. I also always wanted to pay Modern Warfare back in the day but never had the chance so maybe this can be my first experience. Just need the Power brick and a 360 controller and I'm good to go lol

Yeah I live in an apartment building. There's a room on reach floor where we all go to throw our garage out
If the seal in the back has not ripped, it needs a re-paste and fan/heatsink cleaning.

The Jasper models look just like the launch model and they don't have anywhere near as high failure rate. Chances are TC got his hands on a Jasper model.
