Xbox 360 Home Fix
By Jimmy Durrant | February 13, 2010
If you are wondering if you can do your own Xbox elite repair at home, without sending your Xbox Elite back to Microsoft, the answer is yes. Yep, I bought one of those sleek black consoles just like you and bummer if it didn’t break on me.
There are several different things that can go wrong with any Xbox console. We paid too much for these things just to let them sit there and collect dust.
Here are some easy tips to help you get your Xbox back going.
1. The lens in the disk drive could be dirty. Try on of the “old fashioned” CD cleaner. Yep, the ones with the little brush on the bottom of the disk. Cleaning the dirty lens may just do the trick. Couldn’t hurt to try.
2. Maybe there is dust in the drive that the CD cleaner just can’t remove. How about trying a compressed can of air. Open up the drive and blow it into the drive with quick pulses. I know, I know, all of the experts out there tell you not to do it because it will just evenly distribute the dust particles. I have done it and it has worked for me.
3. If your console is suffering from the dreaded red ring of death error, just cut it off, let it sit idle for a few minutes and cut it back on. Yep, you could get lucky and maybe it will work for you. Sometimes your console just needs to be restarted to clear any errors.
If you don’t get any results after turning your xbox console off and back on, do the same thing by turning it off. But this time, unplug your console. Then disconnect all leads, cables and wires from your console. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Be patient and wait for the entire 30 minutes. Chances are when you turn it back on, it will be working properly.
Of course, Xbox elite repair at home is possible, but sometimes you just need a few pointers to get you headed in the right direction. There are many products online to help you in fixing your console. Give one of them a try. You just may like what you find. Good luck in repairing your Xbox 360.
