Our backup Xbox (OG mannequin) has steadily stopped studying discs — even an Audio CD earlier as we speak — so I fished out our first Xbox, which I purchased in 2004 after arriving from Brazil. That unit stopped opening the DVD drive so I merely purchased one other one from GameStop. It was in GREAT form in any other case. I put it within the closet, and there it stayed since 2018. Properly, I pulled that first Xbox out of the closet and examined the DVD tray. It was nonetheless not sliding out, so I used a paperclip to open it. I plugged it in, opened it, closed it. And many others and many others. Moved it to the lounge as soon as I used to be certain the console was nonetheless wholesome in any other case. Think about my shock when it all of a sudden began opening the tray by itself, simply needing a push to shut it. My jaw is on the ground. I used to be ready to make use of the paperclip each time, however now I don't have to! It's additionally good that this OG Xbox is in such nice situation and — being a late 2004 mannequin — it doesn't undergo from the clock battery challenge. I'm thrilled in case you didn't discover it 🙂 P.S. The entire thing began with John Linneman's 007 video, which highlights EA's Agent Beneath Hearth. submitted by /u/AtmanRising |
