FIX XBOX 360 RED RING OF DEATH (RROD)

So has your Xbox 360 given up on you?

No warranty?

Microsoft asks for repair fee's?

Feeling mistreated and frustrated?

Well, I was once a victim of RROD and researched the World Wide Web frantically for a solution.

Due to heat sink issues and thermal paste issues within, the console begins to overheat. The 3 red lights are telling you there is a hardware error! Now this causes the console to frezze in the middle of gaming, which is a sign of RROD to come, this is because the GPU'S are not cool enough to maintain the power of graphics, subsequently causing damage to the motherboard over a long period of time and leaving the dreaded RROD to annoy you. I was very angry as Microsoft also gave me the boot.

After Much online research a guy called James Dean who is a Professional Gamer literally saved my Xbox from becoming trash with a guide that all owners should attempt to use, taking into consideration that once the console has been open MS wont deal with it as you have  broken the Void, but I was cool with that.

James gives you a detailed walkthrough of how to disassemble your Xbox 360, repair it, and then put it all back together again. At first I thought it was a little humpty dumpty but it was such an easy process, so I now repair them for friends on a regular basis.

So if you know your way around a screwdriver :D give it a go and save on costs. Who knows you may also be repairing your friends consoles in the future.
