At 02:00 this morning I thought I killed me XBox 360. I had it laying flat on top of my PC that has a Coolmaster case. Luckily, at the time my PC was off.
So I was playing GTA IV. I had been drinking black tea and there was still a bit in the cup that was cold. So sat at my desk with my headphones connected up to my TV/Monitor I felt hungry.
I looked to my right to my bed and spied a fruity loaf. Hmmm. I got up and reached for it pausing my game as I did.
The lead on my eadphones pulled taunt and knocked my cup over spilling tea everywhere. Most of it going on my XBox.
I squealed and reached manically for the power button and it switched off. Hoooooo.
I sat back down as I could see tea going in the Xbox 360's vents. I moped up the excess tea.
As I reached down to the mains I said to myself "Ah, that was clo....."
But before I could unplug it my XBox 360 turned itself on, opened the the DVD drive slightly then died.
I thought that was it. The mobo probably shorted out. I was disappointed there was no flashes of explosions so I tried turning it on but it was dead.
I tilted the XBox a bit and got a little bit of tea come out the vents. I used my hairdrier a bit and just left it. Luckily only a bit of tea got on my PC. It trickled down the side of the case and on the fans on the side of the case. I sorted that.
So, I get up at around 09:00 today. I plug in my XBox 360 and turn it on.
How it works fine I'll never know. It has been running GTA IV and Darkness fine. I can't believe it.
Have any of you had electrical equipment that just refused to die of came back from the dead?
