So i was cleaning my closet and found my old comp parts, and found a netgear router that happened to be compatable with the 360 now i was planing on buying one in a few days, so that would save me $70 and give me somthing to do. Well I plugged it in it didnt work the power light wasnt coming up. I dont have the original power cord so was using my old linksys one which was 9 v i needed 12. So i used the powercord from my old modem which was 12 v plugged it in and boom. It started smoking and sizzeling which i accidentally breathed in and feel sick. The perfect ending to my horrible holiday lol.

That sucks... that reminds me of when I plugged my brothers speakers into the wrong jack and they smoked for a few minutes... "What's that smell?" ... "I don't know what you're talking about..." That's pretty much how it went; he wasn't happy lmao.
