Fix an RROD Xbox for a good cause? C'mon, it's for kids....
Cleaning out a closet, found my old Xbox 360 that RROD'd on me last year. Couldn't find a donation drive online for them anywhere and I hate to toss it. I thought maybe one of the children's hospitals could make use of it. Now, I am sure I could google how to fix it, open it up, burn myself with a soldering iron (perhaps burn down my apartment building) and do a half ass job. But having it done properly seems important if I am going to donate it.
So maybe you've done this a time or two and wouldn't mind mending it... or, even better, maybe you know where/who I can ship this thing to to ensure it gets in the hands of some kids? I don't know, just a thought.

This bad boy got fixed twice by support a few years back while still under warranty. But that was a LONG time ago. When it went a third time my girlfriend at the time just bought a new elite model... she always hated the one white component anyway. The old model has been sitting in a closet ever since. I believe it is throwing a hardware failure light, the three lights. I know that means it is either bad news or a simple bracket fix. Thanks for the response though...
Does this question of donating old hardware ever come up?
NDA! NDA! You're screwed.
