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!!!! ^^

Cool!

Mas para a próxima vez, tenta experimentar os teus conhecimentos em Rádios de iogurtes em vez de consolas que valem centenas de $! XD XD XD
Just kiddin'

BTW, sabias que é mais eficaz (no entanto, um pouco mais caro) comprar uma pulseira que se liga ao ground?

É uma pulseirinha que se liga a QUALQUER COISA de metal e assim ficas ligado ao GND (ground). Bye Bye electricidade estática....

:iconpulsecloud:
Fixe. Só ainda não consegui visualizar um pulseirinha agarrada a uma resistência de 40M-ohm de 20 Watt. lol, acho que deve sublimar. xD

ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!

:iconpulsecloud:
Por acaso não sabes onde arranjar uma pulseira que, tipo, tocas-lhe e ficas livre de electricidade estática nos dedos? É que ando a usar circuitos integrados sensíveis a estática, e não quero estragá-los. :s

ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!

:iconmasterbrain:
errr....
Não. De facto, não conheço... Mas é uma ideia curiosa!
