Don’t know about you guys, but, I keep my RCX’s in a modified Tupperware container that I’ve attached to an air pump. This lets me drop the air pressure to 0.05 atmospheres.

(...) More than likely it broke as you were taking it out of the box. They seal the Mindstorms box so that the air doesn't affect the RCX. When you broke that seal and the air got to the brick, it might have ruined the chip. Jeremy. (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
