Somebody mentioned de-lidding the CPU. I am hoping to get away with not doing that, but we’ll see how it runs.
I got it for $40, so I can’t complain. The disc drive works fine, it outputs 1080p, the controller input works fine. It just needs to be cleaned like all hell.

i didn’t de-lid mine, just changed the thermal paste and pads, and it’s working fine, might considered doing it in the future

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about the pads; I’ll be sure to do those too.
