Poorly xbox

[teknicolourfox]

My original xbox with executer mod has started misbehaving (I think its dying!).

Sometimes on power up i get the contact microsoft 05 or 06 error message.

Other times the light round eject glows a bit orange and the console wont start at all.

Also, if i can get it working it usually crashes mid game, not so much of a crash, it just dies.

Any ideas? is it worth trying to get it repaired (as I dont know anywhere round Doncaster that does mods or repairs) Id prob have to send it off.

or bin it? :confused:

cheers in advance :cheers:

What cost? Replacement harddrives are cheap. Prices will vary depending on where you shop but 300gb Seagates sold for $70 from Fry's over the weekend. 120gb typcially sell for $40~$60.

Unfortunately he is in the UK where rip-off prices are the norm for technology. So none of those prices will do him any good.
