No RROD, but my damn ethernet port died.

goddamnit.. I've been putting off buying a 360 and I still hear of problems with them.

How the hell did your ethernet port die?

Lightning hit my house today, must have spiked my cablemodem. I live in a 2-family, and Atrace is on the other side. It cooked the ethernet port in his PC as well. Both were off at the time, too, and nothing else seems to have been effected. :scratch: Bad luck, I guess.

 

[Elysian]

Wow, that's beyond shitty.

oh man that blows Chris

My girl's mom had lightning hit her house, fried her TV. She went and got a nice HD flatscreen, and like 3 weeks later, zzzap. Lightning fried that, too.

Chris, do you use a surge protector with your computer? I do, back when i was using wired internet the surge protecter I had actually had an Ethernet thru port for exactly the situations you describe. :/

Bummer though.

No. I've worked in the IT/engineering field for over 15 years and I don't use a surge protector. I plug my shit into a custom made outlet that I have dangling from my shower head. Also, I'm secretly awesome at setting up trems.

Yes, I do. :lol: My UPS has one of those as well, and everything's plugged into it. Odd, fo'sho.

Fuck the Xbox off and just play the shit out of your PS3 :lol: I have 7 broken Xbox's sat in my room at home, which has just encouraged me to go and buy a PS3.


P.S. I accepted your friend request, and for the amount of time I had a PS3 (which was about 2 weeks) you weren't even online

:lol: I went from GOW3 to RDR, and now to FU on the 360. Once I finish up I'll be on PSN playin' through the Uncharted(s).

Hahahhahhaha. I know two people that could actually pull this off. But that's strange how lightning strike only killed 2 ethernet ports?? Anything else get zapped or just that??

Nope, just those. Odd as hell, or one absurdly absurd coincidence.

Snagged a wireless adapter from Gamestop today, so I'm back for the attack. :metal:
