I took my jewel off using freezer method, then i was trying to take glue off

so i used goo off, then it spread on the top above jewel area part

now its making my case white color, when i use water it goes away and is green a
while later it goes back to white, how can i make it stay green again

i would reccomend using some type or oil becasue it will give it the effect like water is on it making it look normal but wont dry like water.

"Superglue burn" (overuse of superglue) can sometimes be helped by rubbing toothpaste on it... Not sure about your situation tho.

Ummm, do the rest of your case and make it a crystal one?

i tried the tpaste, but didnt work, i used colgate brand

i took it off, so i can put a jewel from mad modder site

why the heck did you take off the jewel from a LE

Yea seriously man, you are stupid for doing that to a limited edition. What in the hell did you pay 20 dollars for?

Why are you calling him stupid, he just wanted to put a different jewel on his box, nothing wrong with that.

not sure if this will work or not, but put some rubbing alcohol on a cloth (try diff types, maybe really soft, maybe not?) and RUBBBBBBB that halo box, its always worked for me in the past, even getting scuffs off my xbox, and permanent marker off of my forehead (dont ask)

Ouch...

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR!!!!!!! THAT IS AN LE XBox

you dont see the one that got the Dragon Orta XBox drilling holes in it!!! DO YA!!??

YOURE A DISGRACE TO MODDERS EVERYWHERE.

its not like the halo LE's are extremely rare. in a few weeks they will be sold more publically and here in canada they will be the same price as a normal xbox... we'll just get a limited quantity.. but they wont be a super high price or anything

yea they had a shitstack of them at frys a few days back. if ur rich, buy another one.

I just think it’s funny; with a name like "xboxhaxorz" you would think he would know not to put random chemicals on your box without testing it out on a place that is not visible

Anyways after the flame I feel that I should at least give a helpful suggestion. You should get a buffer and try to get the “x part” as clear as the ribbed part.

posible solutions...

a. put the waranty seal back if you dont brake it and return it to the store as damage.

b. buy another one,remove the waranty seal(dont brake it), switch the cases, return it to the store as damage.

do a fucking swap for christ sake...

LE in a way that they will only be makin them for a while but if u say SE then theyd probably be makin them forever...

though i think the black x idea is good or try an do some art around that area and cover up the mess....

Well SE is more a special production which in this case it is. LE is simple for Limited Supply (Limited Edition). And I would call it a SE since it's special that we got one for once, so I'd say because of this months sales beating Ps2, then they will produce more. Or possibly RE-RELEASE it the day halo 2 comes out, but it will come with Halo 2 as a bundle and maybe be redisigned?

I would have to say good for you, for having the stones to have a go at modding your new case. I would also not have known that goo gone would do this to your case. My only suggestion would be finding some type of oil or oil based product and layer over the bad spot and let it sit there overnight to let it really seep into the plastic.

If you come to the conclusion that nothing else will work, shoot me a PM.

He used Goof Off, not Goo Gone. Goo Gone is harmless and would never have done such damage.

I say spray paint a few layers over the circle part of jewel. I always use a good old butterknife for jewel, takes me 20 seconds to do it, comes out perfect..

ok yeah they're not rare so if you fuck one up it's not a bit deal. I mean go to your locar retailer and you'll find em. So don't worry about mesing it up. i think you should put the good gone all over it and make the whole thing have a green frosty look. then light it up and i think it could look really cool

good luck and don't listen to th eassholes on this site there are a lot more than there used to be

You did satin, burn you Xbox.

But, some of the best Mods come from goof offs... oops, goof up.

I think you should SAND down the top of the box with an electric sander. Use really fine sand paper. Then follow the steps on how to polish an Xbox jewel... but do it to the top of your case with a high speed sander.

It is possible in theory to buff the surfaces as clear as the side fins… good luck.

If all else fails… paint it black.

No, no, no
Buff the x part on the buffing wheel and polish it out with tooth past, a lot of people have been thinking of doing this. It would look really cool if the x was clear. Think about it your first person to fuck up the halo le box (congratulations) take one for the team and try and see if it will work

I agree, make it clear. A nice clear green, that would be nice. What would that make it, an LE SE??? Anyhow..like other people said, you at least had the balls to try something. Its like the first people to try a modchip in an xbox. When they first came out they were like $300 which is almost twice the cost of the box you're messin with, but did people say "you are idiots for doin that"? Ok, some people probably did, but anyhow, good luck, and I am actually excited to see what comes out of this.

Here is what you do and you wont feel like an idiot and your box will be the hottest ever. Ok listen carefully and get ready to take notes young lad. If you go to walmart in the hobby section (where they have model cars and whatnot), you can buy transparent candy apple red spray paint. I used this paint to paint my tailights on my old car and they came out sweet. This is my best suggestion unless you are willing to try and return. But the paint works well, and really is transparent. Then you could go ahead and have the only red clear xbox. It would not appear transluscent like your green one, but led's and or cathodes would light right through it. That is all I can suggest and hopefully it will work. I do not gaurentee it but no offense it cannot look all that much worse. No im not flaming you or anything like that. Modding is the shit and if i hade the money id mod that halo box.

well, i since its a halo le box, i thought i would put a mcheif jewel in it, from the
craxition site/ mad modder

im obbsessed with halo, so i thought i would make it as halo as it can be

well idk, if i want to mess with it anymore, im kind of mad

i may just sell the full case to somebody on ebay or somewere

or since i got it from walmart, i may take it back there
damn goo off, i will ****

the person that has the best idea that works for me
will get free or discounted shipping on any or all items in my bst thread too

i rather have my case back in original state, if i cannot do
then i probably have to return it then


btw, next time i try it, how do i get the glue off

i wacked the jewel after going in freezer, and it came off

but glue was still on it



also, i used a hole saw on my regular old cases and made a hole, but it was
not a perfect hole, which i didnt care about back then


but with my le, and putting a halo mcheif jewel, i rather get it perfect

i even bought a few more halo jewels from cyon for my 3 other trans controllers

HALO RULES, halo 2 will be the ultimate, im taking sick leave for a long time

ill buy the case

yeah, how much for the case?

i'm looking to polish my Halo case, and i wouldn't mind having a test case so i know if it works or not.

somebody offered 80 shipped for the case a little while ago now,

if nobody offers, ill go with him, he is getting his money in order, has not
yet payed

my refs are in my bst thread in sig

everybody who said oil, was a genius

especially custombox.net.

it worked extremely well, except for the small portion the goo off had melted

but when i put the jewel back on it, it hides the bad portion pretty well though


so everybody who contributed positively to me, and not negatively will
get free/ discounted shipping on most of my items in bst thread

see now this is what the scene is about. The guy was in trouble. He had kahunas and messed up... we all have... but members from our great scene pitched in and helped him semi-recover it. A lot of times when reading through the forums I get discouraged because I find a lack of knowledgeable members in the scene but an abundance of inbred cornholers who will flame you and then try to sick uncle dad on you when you prove to them how wrong they are and what miserable wastes of human flesh they happen to be. But not in this thread. Xbox-Savage was really the only one who did that and he means well... he just has some sort of mental issue he's trying to deal with. So we should all give that poor guy a break.... but for the most part this thread is a great example of how we can be neighborly and help people.

Based on what I said, would you say I am friend or foe?

listen up guys i had this happen to me one time and you know what i figured...water makes it go away for a lil while but when it drys it comes back...so what did i do...i bought CLEAR COAT paint and sprayed the whole box clear coat...not only did it shine but the white shit wasnt visible at all after it dryed it looked awesome...put a cold cathod under that sucker and the clear coat did nothing but spread the light better....

Pics? Then take some pics.

That was already suggested.

(I knew I wasn't wrong)

soaking with regular non-scented oil would do the charm. I have my HP calculator cover thrown in the freezer by nephew and yes it turn white but after I rub the plastic cover with regular olive ( that;s only i found in the kitchen) and leaving under sun light brought back the color. This might work for your xbox. Just apply more oil ( non scented).
