Xbox Fire
I came home last night to the smell of burning electronics. At first I
feared it was my new TV, but luckily the real source of it was my brother's
Xbox.
This morning I asked him about it:
- "So, it released the magic blue smoke?"
- "No, the normal black kind."
- "Black smoke from your Xbox is normal?"
Anyway, we took it apart. A capacitor had been rolling around in the case; it apparently caught fire and desoldered itself. Looking at the damage, there was definitely a full-fledged fire inside that thing. The damage on the underside of the optical drive says it all.
I guess Soul Caliber 2 is a pretty hot game.
