It lives!!!! Thank you Keith Courage

Don't think estarland would do a full caption replacement.  That link you posted is probably just for the video caps.

Yeah screw that place.  They want $45 for video repair and $45 for sound repair for a total of $90.

talk to Keith, chop, or thesteve ... Im sure any of them will do it for you!

I wouldn't send anything to a commercial company, not when there's so many talented peeps here that have more experience and will likely do a better job, especially if it ends up needing more than just caps.

I hear what you are saying but at the same time I feel bad about sending a system that has roaches in it to a member here.  If anyone wants to take a chance with this system I can pay via PayPal right away.  As you can see in the pics it is very clean inside.  The roach was tiny but it was there.  I figure a week in a sealed Ziploc bag should starve any of them.  To be continued.....

Because they are cold-blooded insects, cockroaches can live without food for one month.

Also if you desire my to hassle with repairing it let me know bill but it for your initial investment of $60

I was thinking of putting the system in the freezer to kill them.  Would this have any negative affects on the system?

Blah sorry.


I you decide not to repaired the system and looking to "trash" I'd be interested in it.


Granted my getting around to have it repaired might be on a back burner I'd still be interested in it for giggles.

Dead cockroach, my buddy owned a used video game store and I've seen him more than once open a console with some inside. Pretty nasty.

I had a ps2 where the ram went bad.  So, I bought another ps2 from a small game store.  I took it home and the DVD drive tray was kinda wonky.  So, I decided I would just swap out the motherboard.  Well I opened the shit up and holy f*ck it was an infestation.  The smell was so bad!  Thank god they were all dead.  A run through the dishwasher...3 times got rid of the smell.  Man I almost threw the shit across the room when I opened it.  Why I didn't just take it back and throw it at them I don't know. "Here's you shit you sold me!"  I'm sure they didn't know.  They had stacks of ps2's.  They just crawled in where the back fan was I'm sure.  So, that was interesting haha.

BTW congrats on a turbob express.

I wouldn't consider this an infestation by any means.  Check out the pics.  I saw a tiny little baby crawl out.  Other than that it looks really clean.  Just wanna be up front with the modder that decides to take it, if anyone does.

This is one of the reasons I open every piece of hardware I've ever brought home.  When I was on the road as an HVAC Tech I had to go in some nasty places.  Even though I was careful a huge roach crawled out from somewhere on me while I was undressing one time.  I caught it but, it scarred me for life on stuff like this.

I live in NYC and I buy stuff off the streets all the time.  I have learned my lesson now.  I am gonna open every cart and system before I bring it into my apartment.

Dude walked out. Never saw him again.

You'd never see me again if we were hanging out and you let a roach crawl onto me, sometimes you have to help a snoozing homie out null you should know that!

Watch out for bedbugs too.  I visited NYC a few years back and was eaten alive by bedbugs.  They're vicious and you definitely don't want to deal with them in your home. 

Ever since, I've been paranoid about any used game, system or package that's shipped to me.   I always open and clean any used items outside before bringing it in.  Also toss the shipping boxes and/or packaging since you never know what could be hiding in it as well.

That's another plus for hueys: there is no 'inside' for the creepy crawlies to hide within.
