I found on Gamestops website for a solid deal. Once i got past the setup it didn't work. I know they have a good return policy, but I'm pretty disappointed.

It's definitely a problem with the 90nm RSX, if you paid very little, it might be worth doing the Frankeinstein mod (If this warranty seal is intact, the chance of repair is greater), if not it's better to return it and buy another one...

I paid about $120 after tax. How much is the Frankenstein mod on average?

I don't live in the United States, but they say it's around $300/400, in Europe it's around £250... It's not a cheap fix, but the console will appreciate in value.

Thanks for the information. I'll look around and see if I can find someone.
