XBox 360 Elite my ass

[Diggs59]

Rather than pay 100.00 dollars and wait 4-6 weeks I decided to do a do-it-yourself fix via these guys-----> http://xbox360redlightfix.com/ I've yet to try it out to see if it worked or not but I'll keep everyone updated as to how it goes. This was simple to do and will be a great bargain IF it fixes the problem I had? Stay tuned.....

Played it for like an hour and so far so good. I'll keep this thread updated as time passes by...

was the method used putting screws into the heatsink vs. the cheapo clips it had?

Correct, the kit also came with nylon and metal washers along with cleaning solution for the CPU/GPU and a tube of thermal paste to re-apply after the cleaning is finished.

UPDATE:


Here it is a week after the do-it-yourself mod and probably 6 hrs playing time and it's starting to take a crap again. So, I figured I'd try and save someone the time/effort/money on buying this kit and doing it yourself.....IMO save your money and wrap the beeyatch up in saran wrap and let her "cook" in order to get the RROD. Then, get it fixed for free.

There's a guy about 20 mins away from my apt that I brought mine to (note: bought w/ RROD) he fixed it. I'm yet to have issues. Pretty sure he used the same method you did..

hmmm maybe check craigs list that's where I found this guy.

i have a ps3 and X box elite. my PS3 actually stop playin disk after a year. i think they are both going to have problems either way and either one we buy were getting fuc*ed in the ass.

at least i have both is if one brakes down i still have the other to use haha

I also have both consoles and the PS3 has been a great dust collector in my room   I used to be a playstation fan boy but the online play for the 360 is just so much nicer When it comes to online play the #60 has no competition
