power boost?

[aTurgidKnave]

I've been adding fancy things to my box recently like core coolers some lights and a lit up air tube...well, I tacked one more set of lights on there and they turned on for a second then turned off..as well as one of the stock 360 fans...first off, I want to know if there's an east way to fix that and secondly, is there a power booster I can get so as to not overload anything when I'm doing this or do I nor have to worry?

u could try running lites off a battery or summin rather than the 360's power supply?

then turned off..as well as one of the stock 360 fans

dont use that box till we get that fixed man.
if one of your fans is not working it will get to hot

ive not heard of any thing to amp up the power.
you have seen mine and alls well.
i cant get any more plugs pushed in the console.
i have a blaster and 3 plugs for lights and a 12 volt fan mod running.

without the one fan, I still have 3 so over heating shouldn't be much of a problem, but I'm still not happy when I see the fan click turning if that makes sense..it's slightly turning then popping back over and over..when I have my lights plugged in before it in series, they blink everytime it pops..then when I manually get it spinning, it completely drains the power from the lights so they can't work

[m60_maniac]

take the lights back off if u can and see if it works then

[aTurgidKnave]

I've already removed them, I didn't want them in there cause they were just wasting space not working..

[m60_maniac]

and still only 1 fan works?

could have broken the mobo port by overloading it.

u cud try and splice them together i spose

dunno mate sorry.

im talking about the fans in the stock spot.
i dont care about add-on fans.
if one of the fans in your orig fan spot is not working stop using the console.
i have a set of stock fans ill give you.

[m60_maniac]

yea the others dont suck the air out, they blow it in....ur heading for rrod here if u play it more lol

well dun cofree, u can tell its 2 am here as i didnt think of that

[aTurgidKnave]

ok..it's 10 right now for me on Saturday night..is there any chance I could drop by tomorrow, wherever you live now, and pick those up?

[CoFree]

yea
give me a call tomorrow
ill have to go to the other house to get a fan.
but
no problem
im going out there sometime any way.

[aTurgidKnave]

cool, now I just need to remember what Thomas and joe told me you number was....I'll just call em up before I call you

[aTurgidKnave]

Looks like I'm goin' with a 12v mod...The board is bad in that section, of course. Luck would never have it that it would be the easy way out.

have a read over this.

with all the other stuff hook up to your dvd drive power.
i would put the 12v mod first inline.
meaning solder the 12v mod line before all the other stuff you have added.
let the fanns have the power first.
then the lights and stuff after that.

dont just twist the wire together solder the wires .
just post up if you need any thing.

Well, I got everything set up and it's working very well...all my lights are on including the one I thought was broken. I apparently overdid it on my xbox based port...so lets assume that stock fans+ one 4 light led strip + electrotwister lights= too much
so don't try it.
