How You Can Fix a Xbox 360 From the Red Ring of Death Without Destroying Your Console

<p>In this article I will be discussing with you a way to fix a Xbox 360's Red Ring of Death (RROD). The repair outlined in this article does not include towels or solder guns. This method is not some back-alley method that might destroy your console if you were to apply it. This is a simple, easy, and safe method that was developed by a Computer Technician/Programmer who discovered the solution to the RROD about two years ago. It should be noted that this method is a self-fix-it method that will require you to repair your console. Please note that this is a general outline of the repair method to demonstrate the simplicity and authenticity of this repair. The actual repair guide itself responsible for bringing this repair to light is available for anyone who wishes to make this repair.</p><p><b>How to Fix a Xbox 360</b></p><p>An Xbox 360 can be fixed with only two changes made to the motherboard. These are very simple modifications and can be made by anyone, even if you haven't any technical experience at all. Let me first explain that in order to protect the motherboard from overheating issues (which is what causes the RROD) there is a thermal compound paste that is layered over the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and the Central Processing Unit (CPU). These are two very important computer chips on the motherboard that are responsible for some of the primary functions of the Xbox 360, and which essentially allow you to play and enjoy the system. For some reason, the thermal paste that is already on the GPU and CPU does not hold up against the heat emitted by the Xbox 360. This paste is insufficient and allows your system to overheat -- eventually resulting in the RROD. The first mod that needs to be made, is to switch out this old paste and apply a new, and more sufficient paste that has a higher heat tolerance than the old one.</p><p>Once the new thermal paste has been applied and your GPU and CPU are essentially well protected it's time to make the second and last modification. This modification involves the heat sinks on the motherboard itself. Originally the heat sinks were held in place by the X-Clamps, but again the heat that is emitted from the Xbox 360 itself causes problems in this area. If the X-Clamps had a higher heat tolerance than this modification would probably not be required, and you wouldn't need figure out how to fix a Xbox 360. But since they are also insufficient another mod. is required. This mod. involves removing the X-clamps and installing a sturdier, and more reliable foundation for the motherboard. This is done by placing a set of screws and washers on both sides of the motherboard, locking the heat sinks in place. Let me explain: In order for the Xbox 360 to run properly everything needs to be running in balance and in sync with each other. When the system get's hot, and creates to much heat (to much for the motherboard to handle) the motherboard will start to bend. Originally the X-Clamps were supposed to help prevent this, but since they are insufficient the modification we make sure this doesn't happen again.</p><p>As you can see the modification to fix a Xbox 360 is really simple and doesn't require that you make any potentially disastrous repairs to your system at all. This is probably the only known repair that is available that has actually been solving the RROD problem. What's even better here is that it takes no longer than an hour to make this repair, meaning you can have your system repaired by today. It's either that or forking out a wad of cash and waiting weeks to see your system again if you chose to send it into the manufacturer. Many people are finding that using a self-fix-it method (preferably this one) they are having far more successful results that sending their console to the manufacturer. So if you happen to be in the same dilemma I would strongly suggest that you give this consideration if you really need to fix a Xbox 360 from the RROD.</p><p>To get more information on this repair, and the repair guide that shows you how to fix a Xbox from the RROD as mentioned above, you can visit 360profix.com for further information and details.
