So, is there a utility that I can download and burn to a cd that I can insert into an xbox to basically kill it? Long story short - gave guy xbox for helping us (wife and I) renovate our house and then guy turns into a dick and threatens to break my fingers. so, I aim to kill.

thanks in advance.
 
break HIS fingers instead. go out to the woods and get you some poison ivy or oak. whirl it in a food processor and pour off the juice into a spray bottle. then spray it all over his car door handle.

:lol that's pretty good.

And I don't want to hurt him, I just want to take the xbox away. Bonus fact: his son is addicted to the xbox and won't ever stop playing it. hence, I'd rather stop the xbox "mysteriously" instead of breaking it or taking a cord from it so it won't work.

Longer story: the guy is my mother-in-law's husband. No, not father-in-law. that story IS too long. anyway, I try to keep his computer free of spyware by installing opera, ad-aware, and spybot. He regularly uninstalls these programs because they "mess up the computer and install bad things." yeah, he's an idiot. Tonight was the last straw as he had two trojans on the damn computer and I yelled at him telling him he's an idiot and that he needs to protect his computer better (he doesn't even have ANTIVIRUS installed!) and then he goes and tells my mom-in-law that finger thing.

offer to mod his xbox for free and buy him a year of xbl. that way you'll spend $200+ and when he logs onto XBL with the modded xbox, the police will come!

Maybe you can loosen the laser assembly so that it won't spin when a game is in it?
 
It's a Microsoft product, i'm sure there is a normal way of killing it wothout much work...

I am currently in the same house as said xbox. ah...I'd say five paces away? Like I said, nothing too obvious. The laser assembly would be an idea if I could get it apart and back together in less than 30 minutes. I could come back over tomorrow if it would take longer than that. He is a bread delivery person, so he's at work from 2am to around 10am.
 
tell his son you bought a new game that is piss activated and tell him to pee on the xbox (WHILE IT IS ON).

okay... he didn't fhuta ur wife... did u finger his?

okay read ur story. You should BOTH die

* how old are you? So ChILDish. Live and let live
 
buy some of this at the pet store

load it into a piece of plastic tubing, then open the xbox disc tray. insert the plastic tube and blow
 
Man, if he doesn't want you touching his computer just don't! There's no need to call him an idiot, it's his property not yours. If you touched my computer continously when I've told you not too I would threaten breakage of fingers as well.

Immature? You know, just reading your response makes me wonder who is more immature. All you think of is sex? Damn.

Childish maybe, but it's rather annoying that I've never been anything other than nice to this guy and he's an ass to me. Hell, I bought the Xbox before any price drops! Plus, all I'm trying to do is be helpful and he says he wants to break my fingers?

he never said to not touch the computer. There are 5 kids in the house and they are always installing stupid "free" programs. It's the main computer with all of the family's financial info on in. I'm more looking out for the mom-in-law than I am him, you know?

come on. My posts are FACETIOUS. FACETIOUS DAMNIT. Um you wanting to destroy a gift because of a spurious moment of anger on his part is just stupid. And fact remains: YOU WANT TO DO THIS.

Posting stupid comments vs angry anarchistic behaviour.

:lol

all I think of is sex because I keep see this:

Facetious? OK then, that explains a lot. :lol

I dunno, right now I smolder with generic rage. Plus it's finals week so I'm already really tense.
 
If you can find a way to make it so that the video connector contacts don't.. uh... make contact, that could work. If the video connector isn't in properly, the Xbox's light will just flash orange and green.

Even if you have to ruin the connector cable, that's only.. what.. 10 bucks?
 
Soft-mod the Xbox using 007 Agent Under Fire, install a file manager explorer app and delete EVERYTHING
 
1) Get the XDK
2) Burn the recovery disc
3) Insert into Xbox
4) Enjoy!

Not sure if it works without the box being modded. Definitely worth a shot though. The disc wipes the HD and does something to the EEPROM, so it basically leaves you with a brick.

From the NFO:
WARNING!WARNING!WARNING!WARNING!WARNING!WARNING!WARNING!WARNING!WARNING

If you have a retail modded xbox do not use the recovery disc or the remote
recovery executable. it can and will flash your bios, overwrite your
harddrive, and blank your eeprom. Unless of course you know what your doing.

do not blame us if you hose your xbox!

This will work...try rubber cement, you could always scrape it off later.
 
I also would like to know how to do this.

Yeah, I think the only way to disable the system would be to soft-mod it, then wipe the hard drive. Either that or take it apart and fuck up some of the circuits...
 
It should take less than 30 minutes to take apart an Xbox and just cut a few wires (like the ones connecting to the DVDROM) and then put it back together. That should kill it, and since there is no visible proof that you did this (unless the guy decides to take it apart) nobody will know what happened.
 
"I am currently in the same house as said xbox. ah...I'd say five paces away? Like I said, nothing too obvious. The laser assembly would be an idea if I could get it apart and back together in less than 30 minutes. "

I dont know, but if you want the Xbox to be quickly over with, just open the tray, and while looking inside it, with a long screw driver, just go in and beat the shit out of the lens.

that'd take about 90 seconds and no searching the internet for fancy Xbox apps. Hell, you wouldn't even need to waste a CDR
 
Wouldn't this hurt the son more than the father in law? Seems like you'd be punishing the kid rather than the guy. Think of something else to do. That's just mean to hurt a kid right before christmas.
 
You don't need to damage the Xbox. Leave as it is, play some games and it will start the "your disk is dirty o damaged" thing spontaneously.
 
explain to your wife what's happened = mother-inlaw's husband looks like an ass+ you mother in-law may realise what a coock she's hooked up with. beating up someone about a PC/console.
be cool to him when you see him, make excusses if he asks you to do sometime. and if he kicks off=everyone will think he's an ass for hassling you at exam times.
...you win.
be the bigger man you'll wife (and mother-inlaw) will love ya for it.
like the previous guys said busting up the xbox will make you look like the bad guy, the kid suffers and the guy hasn't actually touched you.
 
The screwdriver is definitely the best solution. You could even try to screw (haha) some mechanics, instead of going for the lens. So that the tray would not open or make funny noises or something of that order.
 
thanks for all the suggestions. I've slept on it, and I think I know what I'm going to do (or not do, whichever is the case).

as for the gamecube suggestion, they already have one. It was my first attempt at full-customization and I thought it would be a great gift for the mom (she likes the raiders).

and as far as his son goes, he's six and when he stays the weekend (his mom has custody) he always sleeps in the same bed as his dad. (No, I don't know any other forum poster so it's not him :) ) His dad let's him play Halo as a babysitter. As soon as the kid walks in the door, he screams "dadcanIplayXbox!" and turns it on anyway. He also has his own Xbox at his moms house, plus GC plus PS2.

The mom-in-law is quite upset at what he said so I may not have to do anything. (if indeed I actually do something)
