MS.

Understand that, by opening your
360, you void the warranty. If you choose to follow me or anyone
else on a DIY fix, you do so of your own free will. I don't
recommend that you do this ... but here is how! 8~) |
Remove the Hard Drive before you do anything.

You should have some confidence in
opening electronic equipment. I have easily had my hands inside
of a 100+ computers, so a 360 was not a huge leap. |

The components on the
board will not take well to movement and should not be touched
unless that is the component you wish to work on. On board Ram
would be vulnerable to an electric shock The 360 is finicky
as it is, if it is not broken, don't touch it. |
As the power supply is a seperate
unit, the 360 is a relatively safe console to work on ... as
long as the power is not plugged in! |
Use of a towel to force your 360
to over heat is not a recommended cure. While it make work for
some instances, every time you do it you will be jeopardising
other components. If you choose to do this I would advise you
to first remove any DVD or game from the console to avoid warping
it. The Hard Drive as well. |
