hey finally someone who listens to me about fixing their own box rofl
but really you should look into getting some new x clamps the penny fix is less permanent.

Congratz though most people would screw themselves up doing this.

I wouldn't bother, eventually you're going to have to sned it in for repairs. How exactly do you get the penny inside, you remove the case right cause if so you just voided the warranty nad M$ won't fix it now.



indeed your very right.
however if you already have the case opened then you have access to the softwRE if that craps out on you you see it and can fix it.
so you can fix your box quickly
and you can do some "upgrades" if you know what i mean

im mostly into case modding and replacing the controller leds
