[MakeLV] Interesting Project? xbox 360's

[Will]

Xbox's are a bit more complicated to fix most of the time. The biggest
issue causing the RRoD happens to be a poor PCB construction and issues
with the GPU's BGA. So 90% of the time the best on can do is go through a
solder reflow and pray none of the connections got bridged (verification
can only be done with xray's).

As far as the space, please come and join us! Plenty of us have projects
going on already so Xbox's are on the short list. However if you have some
broken xbox's please bring them to the space. I'm sure at least one of us
wouldn't mind at least taking them apart.
