Best way to quietly, but effectively destroy an xbox360.

If your problem is him not going out, you could give the Xbox live account info to one of us. That way it seems like he actually got hacked.

I should probably not advertise the fact, but there are several people here with the skills required to actually hack it.

That would be illegal in a whole numbers of countries though, so... Not adviseable.

But so tempting. I know his username, but not his password. I wish I would have taught myself to hack. I usually only work with hardware: ie- building PCs.

Do you live with your parents right now? If you do have you told your parents about your uncle?

But to mess up his Xbox I'd do the following: Take his Xbox when he's not looking, open it up and remove the heatsink (it's a hunk of metal with a fan on it that sits on top of the console's CPU/graphics chip) and put it back together. When he turns on his Xbox it will stay on for a few seconds before it overheats and fries itself.

Take out the fan? I can probably do that. I hope he'll go out for xmas or new years.   >D

I'd remove the entire heatsink, which is the metal part itself and not just the fan, because there would be absolutely nothing to cool the Xbox's CPU and it will fry when he turns it on.

It could just shut down, it might send a no fan message/beep before it does, a half decent PC would.

I do think xBox 360 will shut down before getting damaged - it is capable of emergency temperature shutdown. It is also likely to flash "hardware failure" if the fan is not doing its thing (Red ring of death. There is a procedure for getting more precise error codes out of it)

Oh, I have heard of this red ring of death.

...And leaves after a repair job about as expensive as a new console

From experience I suggest the headphones idea...it will keep you both happy.  Not to mention that it's the only permanent and legal solution.

I'f you're suggesting hacking into someone's account, it isn't wise to say so online...you never know who might be watching

Nonono I ment for her to give us his info to make him think he's been hacked. I'm too much of a goody two shoes to actually hack somebody.

Yeah...me too. I would first have to know how to hack, though.
