So, I tested it out by opening my white PCE, and lo an behold it had this inside...

Any idea what the scribblings say, if anything?
-
It says:
"If you're reading this you're stupid"

I can't read it, but it seems you can, so what's that say?
-
You've got me there.

I think it says get bent gaijin.

looks like its upside down..... :O
-
Yeah and very hard to read if it's supposed to be anything writtern.
Some letters looks like "r" or "z" but there's no complete words.
Also it looks like there's a blank square in the middle that had parts of the scribbling before it was removed.

Here's my guess...
-
They are Chinese characters, most likely written down in a hurry. The missing section and the terrible penmanship make it pretty hard to read so I can't say for sure if it is in Chinese or Japanese. The pic is upside down for sure though.
-
I think it's Japanese.
The bit on the top looks like "2回目", which means "the second time". On the left, it looks like hiragana, either a れ or a ん. I'm guessing the former, but bad penmanship makes it difficult to say for sure. On the bottom, it looks like 有, which doesn't mean much by itself.
There is most definitely a big square missing from the middle, and without that, there's little hope of knowing what was written there.

What? Is my picture not showing up? ^

ah maybe I go back to playing Xenoblade C.X

That's funny. It didn't show up on my laptop, but it's showing up on my work computer.
-
It's definitely Japanese. Covell made that clear. It seems there was a square label or something in the middle and when removed, took out most of the scribblings.
-
It is probably a riddle for a hidden "Rondo of Blood"! :shock:
-
does the system look like it was repaired at one point? may be some kind of repair notes
