Hey guys, so my xbox came up with the 3 rings yesterday and now its completely finished, my xbox has been chipped so I can't send it into microsoft for them 2 repair it, my warrenty has been voided. Just wondering if any of you guys know anyone located in melbourne who are able to repair my xbox, help much appreciated.

Cheers

Anthony

Hey guys

To fix this go on youtube and type in xbox 360 ring of death fix.

All it is you put 2-3 wrapped around the xbox 360 and turn it on, make it overheat(ie leave it like this for about 30 mins) take towels off and reset hopefully it will work.

This is a sort of fix that will allow it to run for another week max!!

Its stupid and a real fire hazard.

Hey guys, well i got my problem solved I found a guy who lives 15 minutes away from me, I dropped my xbox off to him yesterday, going to take around 2 weeks he said, $135 all up which I think isnt too bad considering his going to replace the parts inside and not some dodgey job comes with 3 months warrnty aswell.

2 weeks fark thats ages, why dont you see what MS charge might be cheaper and they fix these things in a day. So many people stress out about it i dont see what the big deal is, send the thing off wait a week and then play. They have put a huge amount of money into making sure these things leave in a reliable condition.

lol. thanks for that. I needed a good laugh this arvo......

Yeah that does sound stupid after reading it a second time.

But seriously they have put big dollars in warranty/parts etc for reliable fixed consoles.

I had a 360 fixed by some computer guys at South Melbourne market... they cut a dirty great hole in the side and bolted a fan to it... it worked like a dream... and then died again 2 days later

got a PS3 now... sooo quiet you barely know its on and you don't have to take the disks out with oven mitts on! clearly the better made console... but it took me 3 (if you count the repair) 360's to come over to the dark side

Theres your mistake you took it to the markets.

The ps3 is definately a better made console in terms of reliability there bullet proof, with the best blu-ray system available

however with alot less games (especially AAA games) and those 3rd party games not looking or performing as well, see below for proof

I wouldnt be taking those posts on that forum as gospel....alot of fanboyism crap if yopu asked me. Just browsing through some of the comments and some guy was going on about metal gear solid 4 coming to 360 and raving on about DVD9 discs like there new. Take that website and IGN with a grain of salt and make your own opinion.....

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
