- victoitor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+69This is probably what Microsoft does when you send it in for repair.
- jonathantneal, on 10/12/2007, -3/+69Microsoft would like to remind you that corporal rectification of the XBOX 360 device is NOT recommended. Please contact a certified Microsoft Corporal Rectifier.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+60Void the warranty!? I'd say by modding the case of his XBox by putting in see-through panels and painting it, he's long foregone his warranty...
- vhold, on 10/12/2007, -7/+59You all realize the fact that he's recorded this means that in all likeliness he has to keep doing it.. so.. I think it's a bit of a stretch to say he's -solved- it.

just ***** hit it. - McGrude, on 10/12/2007, -4/+52Well considering that it has been case-modded, it probably has a loose connector somewhere, no wonder that hitting up side the head makes it better.
- kevyn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+47*pow* *slap* *bang* *whack*
- Ranferi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+44NES style, baby!!!
- marshn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+38"Shlap that Ecksh-bocksh!"
- hookET, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31Well it was either this or the old school NES's "blow me" solution.
- EmileVictor, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30Anything can be fixed with a quick bash!
- MoeWasHere, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28you gotta be ***** ***** me...
that's just funny. - numptydumpty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26aaaaah, good old fashioned percussive maintenance
- marshn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22You're going to spank it?
The 360, that is. - DocDEB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20And The Technical Support sayeth, "Thou shall slap thine xBox smartly on its bottom three times and the slapping shall be three and not two as two is insufficient. Three shall be the slapping. Not four as four shall be to much and not one as one shall also be insufficient."
- Thorlord, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19console spankings prove to be quite usefull in this day and age.
turns out what your parents did to you for running through the neighbors yard naked also can fix high-tech electronics. - xelloss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Or they don't even bother, they let UPS do the rest.
- Company_Man, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Back in the day, you could make the Atari 520ST reseat its memory chips by dropping it flat to the desk from a height of about 8-9 inches high.
- billymachine, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18I hope he tried blowing into the CD tray and all the ports before resorting to violence. You should only shlap a game console as a last resort!
- bradford, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15It reminds me of: http://www.digg.com/videos_comedy/Sean_Connery_Talks_about_Slapping_Women
Re-watch the interview. Each time they say "women" replace it with "X-Box 360". Seems rather appropriate in this case. - Unr3a1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I think you're thinking of the solution for unhappy iPods, which involved hitting the device to fix a loose cable connection. As for the fix in the video for the xbox, my guess is magic.
- gklitt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Does anyone else see the potential for Christmas lighting with a broken Xbox 360? The red and green would be perfect!
- GeneralFailure0, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14No, you really don't.
- Dustan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12what?
- EnjoyTheFact, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12That's how I fixed my mom's laptop. "I leaned on the flat part near the keyboard and it made a weird sound." I like to refer to it as "The Fonz treatment."
- kbell29, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Ah, I wish I tried that before I sent my broken 360 to Microsoft for repairs. =)
- RiotActing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9can someone translate? :)
- Inverno, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I'm not 100% fluent, but I speak a little. I'll tell you what I picked up.
....'Xbox 360' ... 'has gone to hell' .... *bang, bang bang* 'Yes it works.' ...'and there we have an image my friend.'
I think you can probably fill in the blanks from there. - blackgt93, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7In Soviet Russia, space station slaps you!
- Dudibob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6my god, my 360 has recently broke on me, guess what I'm doing when I get home :D
- onemillion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6in the words of Fonzi
let us
ayyyyyyyyyyy - inerte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Voice one: Well, it's recording. As usual, Xbox 360 again, 3 red lights, let's try to fix it... using another method.
Voice two: (can't understand)
*Slap *Slap *Slap
Voice one: If it works...
Voice one: Bring it here because the fix is immediate pal!
Voice two: Show it here damn.
*Camera moves to TV - Trenchbroom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5No...it was the Apple III:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_III - TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The 3 best ways to solve 99% of tech-related problems.
1. Unplug it and plug it back in.
2. Blow in it.
3. Smack the ***** out of it.
If those don't work, you're SOL. - Merudo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Actually, that was the apple lisa, wasn't it?
*cough* - herschelaz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6it was misbehaving so he spanked it
i guess they still do that in brazil - jwasko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!"
Lev is awesome. - dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"Heeeeey!" *Thumbs up!*
- Rabbethan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Thats how we fix things on russian spacestation!
- GeneralFailure0, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5@g0dbrz
Um, relevant how? - h3ndrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If only mine didn't hit back. :'(
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Back in the day, whacking a malfunctioning TV set was the normal course of action.
- Valarauka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Since the days of the abacus, this has been the number one method for fixing non-working devices ... I wouldn't exactly call it 'ingenious'. Defintely fun, though.
- mufasa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3haha that has worked for me on lots of other stuff. my pc was making a funny noise so i just hit it on the side and voilá, it was silent again. (well, not exactly silent, but def. quieter)
- Dustan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's amazing that still, to this day, a nice smack to an electrical device solves all problems.
note to 360 owners, if smacking fails, you could try the nes blow! - macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3NOW THATS WHAT I CALL BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY!
- WPFever, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Doesnt the three reds come on when you unplug it while its on or you lose power. Thats what happened when I lost power and you just restart it to fix it. I think thats what he did.
- fallenone05, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Oh the irony...that's how I get my girl to work too!
- EricAnderton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"I told you.. don't touch anything!"
