Broken XBox 360

If you are at my site then you are most likely the unlucky owner of a non-working Xbox (you are not alone). Fortunately there is some good news. It can be fixed. And more importantly by you!

Personally I highly recommend getting James Deans Video Guide to repairing your Xbox, it’s where I got most of my information from.

BE VERY CAREFUL

there are a lot of free videos available on Youtube and How to sites that recommend hot pennies or warm towels. These do not work. Similarly you may read about people using soldering irons. This is utter rubbish. You would never use a soldering iron on an Xbox.

Warranty

Even though the Xbox has a warranty I wasn’t keen on forking out the cash to send it back to Microsoft and wait for them to fix it (and from what a friend told me this can be months!). If you are out of the warranty period then I think you end up having to pay 60 Quid or more to have it repaired.

OK, I think all up it took me about 2 1/2 hours to fix. I must admit I am quite meticulous so I think it could be done quicker than that.
