Today my sister and I (along with her boyfriend) went down to the Movies. On the way back, he pointed out the Xbox he threw away, and joked "Want a new Xbox". TL;DR I ended up taking the Xbox to mainly screw around with. He said its about 3 years old, and as RRoD (its an Xenon), however it was sitting outside in the rain that day. The outside casing was fairly wet, and even some of the metal grating behind the case, however I have a problem. I have the Torx T8 (For Controllers), and I planned on removing the screws for the DVD Drive, so I can remove everything, dry it, put it back together, try to fix the RRoD, then possibly JTag it some day. However when I was taking the screws out, only a few of the ones came out (See the link to the tutorial below). I have tried all the different Torx screwdrivers and the T8 was the closest, and the T15 being the closest one (Doesnt fit). I am wondering if you think the insides are wet. When looking inside (Through the grates), I dont see any signs of damp or wet looking insides :tongue:.

Basically in TL;DR , Xbox was in the rain, got all wet, opened it, dont have right screwdriver, insides dont look wet.

If pictures are needed, I could take a few.

Pop it in the airing cupboard for a few days to try out, then fire it up. Stuff like that is pretty resilient to the wet.
