Dropped My 360.. HELP!

Capn_Funtime · 01-02-2008, 02:52 AM

So I was playing my 360 last night and someone tripped over the power cord and it fell off my nightstand (for the second time) that's like a foot and a half from the ground. Ever since then I've been really paranoid that it messed somethin up inside of the xbox and now the graphics aren't as good as they were before. As far as playing games and not freezing it runs perfectly but I'm still stressin over this. Is it even possible for the graphics to have gotten worse or am I just paranoid? BTW the video and audio input cords and slot where it goes are fine I checked that already. Also, when I shake my console I hear a rattling noise like there's a bead or somethin in the console. IDK if somethin came loose or what.

NO, NO and double NO.

That 'bead' inside rattling around is in all the old xbox models, not sure about new ones, Its to do with some tape hold disc drive in or something, if you google it you'll see pages on it, its a standard sound nothing out of the ordinary.

As for graphics getting worse, thats gota be paranoia if you damaged the graphics card inside your 360 which i very much doubt, then you would see nothing, not 'worse' graphics. just calm down take a breath, have a wank and relax. your 360 is fine.

Yeah if it did not die immediately your probably OK. It should be alright until you get your Red Wings I mean Rings.

it's right there.

also, time to upgrade to wireless controllers and an extension cord that lays on the ground, or putting a rug over them.
