Question on RROD fix reliability

divairus — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:20:01 +0800

So I bought a 2nd hand elite console with 2 red led and got it fixed.
Bought another 20gb console with RROD for parts but somehow got it fixed as well (Xclamp replaced with bolts & washers)
The 20gb is now my "backup" unit.
I'm wondering how long does RROD fix last? How is the reliability like?

I found this old thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1142880

Only 16 out of 96 had rrod reoccurrance. Which I think is pretty impressive.
But since that is an old one, I want to ask here, any of you still gaming on a rrod-fixed console?
How long has it last?

And anybody knows where I can find cheap rrod consoles in KL?

Different disc for a previously installed game

divairus — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 20:18:26 +0800

Hi all, I'm a newcomer here.Not sure if this has been asked.

Long story short, I just bought a faulty xbox elite (unmodded NTSC-J) from a friend and got it fixed.
I got the console, power brick, cables, controllers and stuff, but no worthy game.

However there are quite a number of games fully installed on the HDD.

So, my questions are:
If a game was already fully installed on the HDD, does it require the exact same disc from which it was installed?
Or can I use a different disc (same title of course) to play the game?
And what if it was originally installed with NTSC-J disc, but now I'm putting in a PAL disc to play, would it work?
Lastly, if I swap a different DVD drive (modded/non-modded) with my current DVD drive (perhaps because the current drive is faulty), will it work and will I get banned in Live?

Reason being, my friend installed Fallout 3, GTA4 and Oblivion on the HDD.
And for some reason, I'm finding difficulty to get those titles (them being old and perhaps highly rated)
I found a seller selling PAL GTA4 but I'm not sure whether that would work.
Also found a seller for Fallout3 and was wondering if I can put the disc in and play or I have to delete and reinstall.

Had the xbox for 2 weeks now with only old demos to play (I dont have internet..yet) and the anxiety to get the games is killing me
