Xbox Power Cord Replacement - Safty Issue - Feb 17, 2005 08:14
Cord Replacement


Wow I thought my xbox was just getting old... guess I' ll have 2 working xboxs now. Had to stop using my first box after it started to spark and let off a burnt plastic smell.

Thanks for the heads-up, Mass X.

I have to go home and get my serial number off my XBOX, so I can order my replacement power cord.

See...no game system is without its problems - minor as this is...

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

I have to order that soon, but I have a question. Does it only spark up when you play it a whole lot? Because I don' t play a whole lot of games at once really, if thats the case. Then again its free, so i' ll order soon.

I think someone (Mass) owes me an apology for yelling at me for breaking his Xbox. I told you I wasn' t guilty but you kept on insisting. Ha. Anyways, I orderd mine yesterday, my Xbox barely made the deadline for needing a new cord, if only it were a month or so younger, but it' s free so hey.

I never ' yelled' at you...sheesh make me sound like the psycho of a bf. I accused you yes, but come on I had every reason to think so.

Nah, the ol " Choose Your Weopon" cage matches we have in the backyard seem to work quite well. A few smacks from an aluminum bat clears up so many problems.

Ever do any of those flaming table matches or the sick Japanese styled Piranha matches?

Now I get what that other thread was about!

Mass X, it' s just a game system. Chickapoo88 is the love of your life (or at least a very good friend).

Which do you think is easier to replace? That' s right...the XBOX!

Knowing that you and your girlfriend both enjoy gaming, I do not believe - even for a minute - that Chickapoo88 would do anything to intentionally break your XBOX. That was one of those things that brought you two closer...and Chickapoo88, being a sensitive sounding kinda girl, loves to be with you...in whatever you two decide to do.

You need to make up with her, Mass X...and soon!

I will let you in on a little-known side of the DaRoosh...I used to believe that my friends were capable of such acts as that which you accuse Chickapoo88. And, before long, DaRoosh' s paranoia had bested him and he had lost many friends.

This series of events occurred when I was much younger, and a whole lot more stupid than I am now. Thankfully, I got over my idiocy and apologized to many of those people. Many of those people are still my very good friends to this day.

Life' s too short to make, and keep, enemies...friends are better for your soul anyway.

Ok ok too clear some things up. Me and Jess arnt fighting. The Xbox broke months ago, and has since become a joke included in her repitoir clumsy mistakes (walking into car doors and the such). The onyl recent argument which wasnt really an argument was that I was unable to see her on V. Day, making it a lonly day for both of us.

Whew caused a bit of drama here I guess. But no problems here at the moment.

i have 2 xbox consoles, but only one needs a replacement cord. by coincidence its the one i play on the most (have the other one to play systemlink games against my nephews and friends). so far never a problem, so i think its not THAT serious. otherwise my box have catched fire a long time ago. but to be sure, i ordered a cable.

Daroosh, you and your friends wouldn' t have gone through such trials and tribulations had you all sat down and played Klonoa 2 together!

That maybe so...who knows.

I am just glad that my friends have forgiven me for such past atrocities.

Hey! Has anyone ordered, and received, their replacement power cord yet?

I got my replacement power cord in the mail today! It came with an 11-page instruction manual. No joke! It even has blinking lights and a special sticker for you to place on your Xbox which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to use any other power cord!!!!
