Thought xbox modding would be a fun new hobby, took me about an hour and a half to change my mind. I was trying to install a spiderchip. I was having the common difficulty of having it sit correctly on the LPC. I would power it on to see if it was working, forgot to unplug it one time (pretty sure it was powered off though), dropped a screw (the orginal one) on the motherboard, now it does not power on. I should probably be dead for my stupidity, but considering that is not the case, could someone please help?

I hope it is just a fuse, but could it have ruined the motherboard? I want to take it to someone to fix it, but don't want to waste my money on the cheaper fix.

i doubt that is the problem but it very well COULD be... theres no way for me to be able to tell...

wish i could help, in case it IS the problem... i suggest you go to gamespot or something and buy a refurbished xbox for cheap.
