stubby 175 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 do you know how to take the case apart with ruining it? if so remove motherboard remove 8 bolts holding the heat sinks in place clean off old thermal paste from both cpu's re apply new thermal paste finger tighten bolts back in place fit motherboard back in bottom of unit add the drive and connect DO NOT RE FIT THE FANS re fit front board and ring board PLUG IN THE POWER SUPPLY AND SWITCH X BOX ON, you'll need a small screwdriver to depress the middle button let the x box overheat(feel heatsinks to make sure its getting hot) leave to overheat for no more than 4 minutes and 15 seconds un plug using tea towel to grab heatsinks remove motherboard and tighten the 8 bolts up, gently and evenly let motherboard cool down for an hour re assemble plug in, should have green lights back again I did mine months ago, and still works fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stubby 175 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 once you have the metal casing apart, you need to unplug and remove dvd driver unplug and remove fan and housing grab hold of the large heatsink and lift up, its not screwed down what fix did they do on underside of motherboard if theres what looks like 4 sticky pads, these are heat disapaters fix (cheap and dont work) are the x clamps still fitted? two large silver bits of metal, look like big X's if they are still there, none of what Ive said above will work, as the x clamp fix hasent been done this is the website I used, it cost me around £18 to join, to get the instruction video's for repair, plus around £15 for stuff bought from maplins, thermal paste,cleaner etc, but in my eyes, £33 for a working x box wer'nt bad, plus you can then fix others http://xbox360redlightfix.com/index.php Quote Link to post Share on other sites
