Well, as some of you might know, I had an Xbox console. One day, I tried to turn it on but it just wouldn't light up. I brought it to a repairing store and they said it was the Power Supply Unit (PSU) that had a "problem". They just didn't say what it was and didn't fix it. I was pissed at them, until yesterday.

Yesterday I was searching for my old Xbox in the attic, and I found it. I brought it downstairs to my room and opened it, took out the PSU.
I applied my crescent Electronics knowledge and tried to figure out what happened to the PSU. I quickly found the problem. YEY FOR ME!!! "It was just a friggin fuse!!!", I thought, so I bought a new one and soldered it to the PSU. While I was searching for the problem, I noticed that they TOOK COMPONENTS OFF OF THE MOTHERBOARD!!!!!! I was REEEEALY mad. I started to think when I plugged the Xbox to the power line, it was not gonna function. But I had a little hope, so I went forward. I connected all the cables, closed my Xbox and grabbed the plug.

It was show time. ;)

PSHEEEEW PAAHAHAHAHAAAA PSSZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!

PASHHHH PASSSHH SPZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

A bluish white glow is born in the core of the Black Box and it was BEAUTIFUL. Smoke levitates on top of the Box and a putrid smell 0f scorched transistors invades the room.
I unplug the plug and think "Oh sh*it!!".

I messed up BIG TIME!!!!! :D

Actually, I didn't, 'cause my parents wanted (when it stopped working) to throw it into the garbage can, but I didn't let them.

Finally, I asked my mom to get a pair of rubber gloves (because of the static and condensed electricity) and take it outside, because of the smell.


Inside, I was REALLY happy because I had never seen such awesomeness, but I didn't tell my mom 'cause she might would have said "WTF? You fried your Xbox and you're happy? *dials 112*"
lol


OK, bye!!!! ^^

Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It's not a thing to be waited for - it is a thing to be achieved.
