Full Version: Grounding Xbox360

I just took my xbox 360 apart and read a few articles about connecting the xbox360 dvd drive to a pc. There are some warnings about grounding the xbox because it hasn't got a true earth ground. I've read that pluging the tv cord into the tv might be sufficient to provide a ground for the console. Well I'm just worried to brick my xbox if something goes wrong. Could someone point out a safe method to do this? Thanks :-)

If your connecting the xbox to the pc u need to get some croc clips to attach the chassis of the xbox to the chassis of your pc to get a proper ground.
