Need your Xbox 360 fixed?

[Evan5469]

Awhile ago a member on here (CobraStang161) was fixing Xbox's that had the Red ring of death (RRoD) but has stopped for quite some time. Well I'm looking to pick up where he left off and offer to fix them for anyone that needs it done. I'll be charging $35 if you use Paypal and $30 (same price that was being charged before) if you send a check or cash with your Xbox. I'll also be offering further upgrades (cooling and otherwise) for an additional cost. :banana:

The tear down process to get started

Almost done now

Back to normal

Interesting service! I know a guy that at one time had 3 dead Xbox's, not sure if he still has them. I think he finally realized that Microsoft wasn't the way to go.

I will refer him if he still has these units.

If it has the RRoD then the 1,3 and 4 controller position lights on the console will light up red when you turn it on and won't do a thing. If you'd like shoot me a PM and we'll work it out.

I got a question for ya. When I turn my 360 on, it doesn't read the disc unless I tap/beat on the top-front of the xbox right above the disc drive after I close the drive. I'm guessing the laser that reads the disc is messed up or something but I have to do it EVERY time. Sometimes the tapping works on the first go around and sometimes I have eject and try it again for 5-6 times. Do you know if this is common or a quick fix?? :shrug:

Sounds good guys. I hope these don't break on you but I'll be here if they do. :beer:

This seems to be a somewhat common problem. Sometimes just cleaning the laser will fix the problem and other times the drive itself has to be replaced. Whatever you do, NEVER turn the xbox while it's running from a standing position to a flat one or vice versa. This can ruin your game and can cause the problem you're describing where the xbox won't read the disc at all. I hope that helped. :thumbsup:

I have an xbox that had the RRoD and was fixed and now it has sound but no sound or picture, can you fix this? It was fixed via the x clamp method.

Yeah I def. knew not to do that. My buddy did that once and it messed up his Mass Effect game. Where is the laser located in the drive?? I might be able to get a Q-tip up in there...

I also have something weird happening to mine. When you turn it on and with the game in (MW2) in this case. You would get through the title screen, into multiplayer, start the game, and like clock work, about 15 seconds into the game it freezes. Not the game, as we have tried several. Sometimes it lasts a little longer but not usually. My guess would be the DVD drive is shot, but I dont know. Have any ideas?

Hey, can you fix my little brother's xbox? Seems like it won't power on anymore...

 

[66speed]

I think my brother's is broken. I'll talk to him and let you know.

Are you able to fix the E74 error?

The x clamp method is used just to fix the RRoD. Double check all your connections and I'll check around to see if there are any fixes and get back to you.

The laser is all the way in the back of the drive itself and the easiest way to get to it is taking the case apart. You may also want to try a DVD cleaner disc which you can find at best buy or any electronics store. Or if you'd like, you can send it to me and I can take apart the case and clean the drive for you. If it doesn't fix the problem then I'll send it back and refund you your money.

That's what happened to mine just before it got the red ring. However if it's just MW2 that it's happening to, I'd just go pick up another copy of the game.

:lol::lol: these systems can definitely be frustrating. It's amazing the amount of money Microsoft puts in developing them and they still have issues.

Thanks! :beer:

Are you able to fix the E74 error?

E74: AV cable error... There is a problem with the AV cable, try using a different AV cable. If the cable is known to be working then there is a 90% chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip connected directly to the AV cable) in rare cases it is the GPU

If you only getting 2 red lights that signifies an overheating issue. It's good to know that the fans are working. I personally have never fixed an xbox with just 2 red lights but from what I've read and what I've been told it's the same process as the RRoD fix. If you'd like you can send it my way and I try to fix it. What I'll be doing won't hurt it any further and if it doesn't work I will return it to you and refund your money.

Mine just crashes during races in Forza3, but I suspect that is just a sign RROD is next...
