Here is your random thread!
Hello all computer and game specialists. Let's compile all of our knowledge about the Xbox360 and its (terrible service) to fix my Red Ring of Death Xbox360 that Microsoft wants $100+ to first look at lol. Lets compile a step by step manual on how to fix this ****.
I don't want to hear about the bs towel trick... already tried it and it didn't work...
I want to hear step by step instructions involving something along the lines of this:
A start would be to take it apart, clean the board, remove the heatsinks from the main chips, and reassemble using new thermal paste (arctic silver). If that doesn't help, or just winds up being temporary, you have to either reflow the chips, or reball them. You might want to remove the xclamps and use bolts and washers instead. You need a torx 10 and a torx 8 to take the xbox apart. Use google to find out procedures to do this stuff.
Pic by pic instructions or a video would be ideal.
Let the smartest person in this thread win. GO!!!!
