Repairing The Red Ring of Death XBox 360 - EricTheCarGuy

Опубликовано 24 декабря 2010, 22:15

I know this is outside my normal auto repair videos, but having gone through this myself and saving the cost of sending my xbox off to be fixed I thought it falls in with the ETCG spirit. Also, when I went searching for info in this problem I saw a lot of bad videos out there. I figured I'd throw my hat in and see if I could make a better one. Hopefully, it helps you.

My gamer tag is EricTheCarGuy, but to be honest, I hardly ever have time to play much anymore. Making repair videos keeps me pretty busy these days. There are worse problems to have, trust me.

Here is a link to codes for the xbox red rings as promised in the video: forums.xbox-scene.com/index.ph...

As stated in the video the fastener size is #10-32x3/8". You'll need 8 of them. Also, you can't use a hair dryer, it's not hot enough. You'll need to use a heat gun, if not, then the repair won't take.

Lastly I have found this to only be a temporary solution. It is very possible that the Xbox will fail again. At that time you can perform this procedure again but each time you do it's likely to take less time before it fails again. My solution was to purchase a new, black version of the xbox and since then I haven't had anymore problems.
