Forum:How do I get rid of the RobCo processor widget?

I have a character that took Moira's RobCo reprogramming quest, but just after that, I decided to convince her to quit the Wasteland Survival Guide research and got the Dreamcrusher perk, et al. However, that left me with the 1 lb. processor widget, which I figured I could get rid of at anytime by putting it in the RobCo mainframe.

When I got to RobCo and tried to insert it into the mainframe, I got the message that the mainframe didn't have power (or words to that effect), and I was still stuck with the 1 lb. widget. I thought maybe I could get rid of it by hacking the mainframe, but my Science wasn't high enough. So I sped through the whole Those! quest to get Lesko's Lab Coat, which adds 10 to Science. I even leveled and raised Science a bit, then returned to RobCo, chewed down a Mentat and tried to hack the mainframe. *sigh* Again, same result, ie. no power to mainframe. I can't drop it since its still considered a quest item.

how, How, HOW can I get rid of this widget??? Thanks for any assistance,

If you're on PC you can check the Consol commands to remove it from your invatory.--99.228.127.240 05:20, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

No, its on the 360. And as for it being just one pound, well, when I step on the scale and its just one pound less, I celebrate a bit of a victory. Even though its only on one of my characters and this particular character has maximum carrying capacity, and is an Unarmed specialist so doesn't get weighed down (especially since I stopped worrying about caps and XP with him), its the principle of the thing. Its like a stupid law you can't change or avoid, or a bump at the end of your pinkie that doesn't get in the way, its just... its just there.
