[Haggarty]

Got hold of a 360 very cheap but unfortuneately it has RROD. Im pretty certain its not covered by warrantee so unless some1 in the Reading area can fix it for me? Im gunna give it a go

Was gunna get one of the repair kits off ebay, all screws, washers included. Any1 got experience/thought on these?

Repairing it is easy. Don't get a kit off eBay they are usually cheap and don't last very long.
I've repaired a few consoles using this:
http://mrmodchips.co.uk/catalog/pro...d=761&osCsid=7456ae09c54b94c2a81ae3d31a2460ac
And they work like a charm.

Wrap it in a towel?

Thanks but the link wont take me to the product, just the website. How much is the kit you mentioned?

Would like to last longer than a week!

Argh, links never seem to work with that site.
If you click Xbox 360 in the side bar then repair kits and it's the £15.94, there are instructions on that page on how to use the kit.

If you've ever changed a memory DIMM or taken a PC apart you'll have this done in about 15 minutes.

Worked a charm, and kanection get a thumbs up from me for service.

Microsoft repair the RROD free of charge as its a recognised fault even if your xbox is out of warranty.
You just need to sign in to xbox.com, register your console using the serial number from the back of the console, package it up, send it to them and jobs a good un!

Only drawback is, it takes just over a week to get it back but the works is covered under some guarantee they have.

Ive done it with my own 360 and my boys and they've never missed a beat since.

Doesnt even cost you anything to post it to them

Only for 3 years, not forever.

Will order an Xecutor Kit later...I ve done a little bit with computers but not much. Theres no rush so ill just make sure to do it slowly and properly!

My friends xbox got the RROD and he ordered one of those kits and managed to do it all himself following a video from youtube.

Id offer to do it but your probably miles away from me

My 360 died a couple of weeks back, so I'm definitely going to order one of those kits!

In Reading. Thanks for the offer though.

Just ordered my kit, if i have any problems will post on here as there seem to be people in the know!

The boys that saved my PS3 from YLOD & blown Blu's also do X-Box.

They do a mail-order service, so if nothing local comes up it's worth a go.

Get their warranty too and it's covered against all breakdowns again, I did when the Blu-ray died and then the YLOD fix was free
