Xbox 360 DVD Drive Catches Fire

Note to aspiring modders when taking apart your Xbox 360, be careful otherwise the Xbox 360 DVD drive may catch fire!

A modder by the name of iwemion was tinkering with his 360’s innards while a slip-up caused his DVD drive to catch fire:

“So i had my Xbox 360 case open, and it was plug[ged] in. I was testing lights fans, etc. But then i had to get to the fan shroud so i moved the DVD drive and the DVD drive motherboard touched the case and caught fire. I put the fire out, not much damage was done except for 1 spot, there is [now] a hole through the board, needless to say that DVD drive is toast.”

So beware! Not only will this void your warranty by opening the case but it may be a great risk to you too.
