Hi everyone.
As the title suggests, my son's x box just packed up.
It keeps feezing a few seconds after you turn it on.
I'm not too impressed tbh, he's only had it 2 months & I've heard that alot of people have had problems with them.

has it got the dreaded red light virus ???? if so you can apparantly wrap a cool damp towel around it to help it cool down....son told me this after he saw it on youtube ????
My son's 360 has just done the same, tried the towel trick but no go. Took it apart and can't see anything obvious (dry joints etc.) so i bought him another one with 2 months guarantee from a seller on e-bay for £62
He repairs them too and has an offer on for this week @ £6.99 plus parts
I might send him the old one and then sell it on once it's working again.
No m8, it does work for a while but it still does not cure the problem. It will go t!ts up in a few weeks if that long
The hard drive normally does not get affected. The PCB and CPU are cr@p and cannot take the stick of continued use.
When you take them apart there really is sod all to them. We had Ryan's in bits last night, still don't work though so it's either off to this bloke or it might go on E-bay as faulty as some are still going for £50 even not working.
oh well best limit his time on it again.............. although saying that brought him guitar hero's 3 with the guitar today so looking forward to playing that myself.....
He only bought GTA4 the other day and it was delivered today
No 360 to play it on, to say he is a bit pi$$ed off is an understatement
there is a fix most repairers use of these. It involves changing the poorly designed heatsink and X Clamps.. The X clamps are arch shaped and stress the board and whilst hot cause the SMD resistors and such to start lifting off the board... Remove the X clamps and heatsink.. New thermal compound. Nuts and bolts on the heatsinks instead.. Turn on still red light, towel wrapped around to over heat it once. Solder reflows. turn off cool down.. Turn on all works... Jobs a good un.. Done a cpl of these like this now..
