Your broken, yet functional, devices.

What old broken shit (that still works) are you too much of a tightass to part with? This is my ipod, it has no battery, the screen is unreadable, the "lock" switch is missing and this mo'fuqa still accepts songs and plays them when supplied an external power supply either by computer or my car stereo.

How did it get this way? High speed impact with a brick wall. Case is still in workable condition, if I bought a battery & screen off ebay I'm sure the thing would return to full functionality but meh, cbf. Most hilarious part is when itunes tells me the battery is at 100%. Yeah, 100% missing.

I have a couple broken xbox 360s. they can probably be fixed to make functional, just the standard rlod issue.. free to anyone who wants to pick them up.

also an original xbox (and hacked with xbmc) if anyone wants for a low price. I think I bought it from acetame on here yearssss ago.

My computer takes 10 sometimes 15 minutes to boot into windows, I avoid turning it off because of this fact, original install date for windows Vista is first quarter of 2008

My car also can take upward of 10 attempts to start it because the starter motor doesn't always mesh with the ring gear to turn the engine over.

Yeh I have stacks. I have an old Gen 2 iPod with a busted HDD that I just can't bring myself to throw away - just thinking "oh I'll get it fixed on day and then it'll be awesome", like I'll ever have a use for it again.

I bought two computers from umart and put them together at around the same time about 3 years ago. Parts keep failing in both computers but I've managed to salvage working parts from both and made one perfectly fine working media computer and it plays all my media just fine! It's making funny noises from time to time but we'll worry about that later haha.

A few years ago I needed a desktop microphone for my PC, so I duct taped an empty coke can to my desk, then jammed a USB mic from Guitar Hero into the top and used that. Worked suprisingly well!

My Nokia Lumia 920.

Utterly broken, yet partly functional (minus lack of apps) before it silently crashes without notice.

My phone. If I could take apicture of my HTC desire using my phone I would show you guys.

It was dropped (more like thrown) hard on concrete, smashed screen from two different opposite points (top left and bottom right). Touch screen still works after nearly 3 years of being smashed (3 months into contract). I continue to use it as punishment for being a shit head.

Too much.. way too much. HDDs, CPUs, Motherboards, RAM, Phones, etc. I'd easily throw it away if there was a specific electronic waste part at the local tip or somewhere I could go to drop it off for recycling as throwing it into landfill seems wrong.

It was my SSD but got it working now, but another HDD you can see all the files on it but not open any. My SSD was working for 1 hr only then it would crash, turns out its some developer thing when it reaches 5184 hrs use. It crashes/reboots every hour to let you know it needs a driver update, but it does so with out any messages, I found out on a random forum while looking for a diagnostics tool for it.

SSD fully functional again, other HDD rooted.
Also have a set of headphones that work but zap your ears every now and again.

My shoes. Some people say it look unprofessional but people tend to tip more when I dress like a hobo.
