Thanks.

Thanks Ken... One more question.  For some reason the upper 1/4 inch of the screen is slanting.  While I can almost get it perfect with the hortizonal hold its flakey... After a while it goes back... Will a Cap Kit resolve this?

Thanks

Technically not a hack.  It's a repair.

Thanks for the correction, but in my mind anytime you do an unauthorized repair its a hack...

Replacing components with the same type and size (for the most part) component is a repair.  Introducing new components into a system in order to produce a function outside the original intent of the design is a hack.

Cap kit = repair

Modding your xbox with a modchip (or a softmod) = HaX0Rz   :applaud:


EDIT:  When the component values are given in the manuals then that automatically constitutes an "authorized" repair doesn't it?

So if I did a Xbox TSOP flash is that a hack or a repair?

Thanks Jimmy.

Haha, this conversation is funny.  It reminds me of when me and my buddies call each other out and argue over semantics!!

Umm, well, any software changes in retail sold items like Xbox's would definently be hacks since the development kits and the kernel code are not supposed to be available to the public.

But since we are talking about a Microsoft product... I think any change in their code would be an improvement and thus a repair and not a hack!!!  :laugh2:
