xbox360 - somethings do come back to life

[si-skyline]

Hi all,

So I have had a xbox for about two years now. recently it had stopped working with the good old red ring of death. out of warranty and a console as good as a paperweight I got experimental

I tried the x-clmap fix and here is my results..

Oh yeah baby, its back to life and surprisingly it is MUCH quieter then when I bought it.

Was wondering if any one else has tried this fix and still enjoying their xbox

I know lots of people that have done this with success. (online forums) I also know people that have them professionally reflowed when the X-Clamp inevitably fails.

Just wondering... Did you know Microsoft offers a free repair for the RROD, for up to 3 years after you buy it?

Yeah I did know about the warranty after I cracked open the box

At the time I thought the warranty still did not cover but already know of the fix so I set about cracking it open.

I'm happy with it tho. it allows me to do other magical stuff now the warranty is void.

I would strongly recommend this way if there is no other path to take. I would stay clear of the towel trick also.

Now that it's open, may as well do a 360 window/lighting mod.

or go all out and get an entirely clear case

Hi,

A window and light mod would be nice, but it would only be used as a media terminal as i have got a media server on the network serving to other clients and my elite.

I was recently in a crash and had another xbox in the boot of the car what got trashed. I was thinking of gutting it out and putting a small pc in it.. that will confuse people.

If you cant see the trend, i like xbox 360s

I want to get that chrome case for my 360... i bet it picks up fingerprints like crazy, though.

Clear case + blue fans + blue ring LED conversion = wintastic, imo

As do I...

If you need any modding help on it let me know.
