Boy Nearly Killed Trying To Cool Xbox 360
Posted in Xbox by Klink on the August 21st, 2007
Xbox 360 Shock
A 14 year old boy from Brevard, North Carolina was nearly killed Sunday while trying to stop his Xbox 360 from overheating.
The boy’s mother told local news that his Xbox 360 kept turning itself off after about 5 minutes. Her son had read online that he could stop it from cutting off by cooling the power supply. “I saw him put the cord on top of a box in the living room”, said the boy’s mother. “When I left to go next door he was playing a game but when I got back he was laying on his back on the floor and unconscious”.
While his mother was away the boy had taken the power supply and wrapped it in plastic and tape. In an attempt to cool it off, he submerged it into a pan of water with the cord still plugged in. The boy had regained consciousness by the time paramedics had arrived. He was taken to the Transylvania Community Hospital in Brevard where he spent the night.Aside from getting knocked unconscious the boy only suffered small burns to his right hand and foot.

What I would do is open the brick and find 12v wires and moded fans onto it to the brick or something like that.///....///.//./././....
or just get a taser and stick it to my balls like a 14yo putting a electrical item into water....

Kinda makes you wonder how long he had been playing it straight before it got hot enough to keep shutting down. I've used my 360 for over 6 hours, left it running over night and and then proceded to play for another 8 hours straight the following day with no shut downs (I had mono, nuttin better to do......). he deserved to get zapped both for stupidity and for the mere fact that he prolly needed to get off his ass and do something constructive anyway.
