What a day for it to go wrong with 7 games to play!
Has been running fine with no problems what so ever and no flashing lights or anything etc...........
How ever all of a sudden today been getting some lock ups and screen artifacts etc....
Is it worth taking apart, cleaning, re doing h/s with Artic Silver and putting in over for a temp reflow job or is there some hard ware damage?
Be handy if anyone else has experianced this as googling shows up various different answers for a screen artifact problem.
Some say the damage is done to the gfx chip, others say its the hard drive and others say its needs reballing but i have no idea who does this or if its worth it on a old one like this.
Be good if i could get it going tomorrow
cheers and happy xmas
