Default All you Xbox 360'ers

If your console shows the 3 Red Lights Of Death and it's out of warranty, Microsfot will charge you £83 to fix the machine!

After this has happened to my brother's 360, I've found a solution to the problem.

What happens is that Microsoft uses a cheap and nasty method of attaching the heatsinks to the CPU and GPU, these heat up, buckle and cracks the soldering to the chips. I've found a way to modify the heatsinks which cures the problem, I've fixed my brother's machine and it's as good as new again!!

I charge £30 to sort your Xbox out if you need this done

Microsoft extened the warranty and back dated it too, if it's repaired for the RROD then they give you 3 years warranty on that too
