@wiredextreme I'm a Tech savy person and have been contemplating this idea for some time but was not sure and didn't want to wast the money if it didn't work, If I strip the console down to the bare essentials, would I be able to fit it into a NES casing or would it be to large? I haven't been able to find the dimensions of the boards and such online.
hey after having a slim i discovered that the connection between the "N" adapter chip to my router is weaker. can you add an antenna to the chip to boost its signal?

@wiredextreme you are awsome man!when I send my PS3 to you guys it would be cool if you did a video showing it being repaired.SUBSCRIBED good video BTW
Thanks for the great video! My two year old son grabbed hold of the disc tray and it wouldn't open or shut after that! Managed to take console apart and re-align it! Thanks again! (From England!)
To get to the fan looks so much simpler than the PS3, I don't intend to fix my own PS3 anyway if it ever breaks :L On the PS3, you have to take off the top, then another shell, then the Blu-Ray and Power supply, then the board that connects up to the Blu-Ray and power supply. After that you have to take this big metal sheet out, and the HDD cover, then take the motherboard out and finally there's the fan! Here you just take off the shell and oh hello fan... :L
@DreamCrw Well you take the chance of voiding your warranty if doing so. If you are not familiar with electronics, then please do take extreme caution while taking your system apart. Do NOT take it apart on carpet and
Hello, Wired-Extreme-7, I have a question: How can I fix my Disc Compartment? It keeps opening and closing and it won't even open or close all the way. And on top of that, my Tekken 6 game is stuck in. And yes, it is the New Xbox 360 Slim Model. Please answer my question, I await your answer. Because I have a feeling that you guys are the only ones that can help me. From what I heard from all of my friends and family, Microsoft Customer Service sucks. Thank you and goodbye. I await your answer.
@Cambopryde Don't worry, its not as bad as it sounds. The new Xbox 360 Slim is much, much better and fixes a large amount of the original Xbox 360's problems. Including "The Red Ring of Death/Doom". Good luck. But if your really that worried, go with the Playstation 3 or the Wii. They are both great consoles with a much lower "fail-rate" as you put it.
hi cool vid but could please help i have just got in for repair the halo edition xbox 360 slim in bits due to a fall down the stair, i have put it back together and when i press either eject or the power button the speaker on the mobo gives the chime but the console wont power , this is my first slim repairs and am very familiar with the old ones .also the metal square that is on the power board (rf) has come away is that needed to conduct please help me i have clicked like

Thanks a lot for the fantastic video. Much appreciated. I only want to remove the wireless card. Now I know where it is and how to do it without ripping the box into pieces :D
hey my xbox 360 slims has problems when i connect it in sd (yellow white red) and i can only hear when it boots up but nothing else , the screen stay black and nothing happens
@44dgl It's built inside. It's covered by a door which leads to the hard drive being inside the console. You can take a part out of anything if you know how to do it.
I have been asking all around and I may look stupid but my xbox 360 slim is scratched and I want a new 'case'. just the original one. can YOU help me, please? where can I find something like that?
Mine didn't come with a hard drive. I popped the bottom and checked the box. Both empty. Though, I did get the Kinect. Was I gyp'ed or does everyone have to buy their hard drive separately?
@Sageboy13 You sir are the dumbass. Taking it apart is by no means "destroying it". He works for a company that FIXES consoles so how is he stupid for doing his job? Sadly, you monkeys are the reason why IT professionals have jobs.
I have a question.can u please answer. I might get the New xbox 360slim for christmas and i was wondering what are the chances of the NEW one getting E74 error? because my old one had the e74 error and fuckning sucks.
@ajhgfhgjbjhbjhb very low since it now takes heat in from the sides (if lying horizontally) whereas the old unit took in air from the sides, top and bottom.
@fezlightning r u sure?? to much heat n wit tis clamp pushing against the board would cause stress on the board. that y the newer Xbox 360 had screw instead of a clamp. i know cause i had both model n the oldest one has fail while the newer 1 has not
@new14520 the new model still has the "x-clamp." the problem was the flexing of the motherboard due to uneven pressure by the chassis combined with the heat. xclamps contributed but did not cause the problem
@fezlightning I agree. One xclamp won't cause the problem. If you were really anal about it, you can replace them with nuts and bolts, but it's a waste of your time.
is there anything you can do to a 360 that would make it perform better, or run smother, or anything like that? Kinda like what you can do to any desktop, upgrade the RAM, Processor, stuff like that?
i have an old xbox 360 and i play video games alot. i was wondering if the new xbox is better than the old and by better i mean does it read the disc at least 90 % of the tiime cuz my oldie hardly reads it and it pisses me off? pleaz get bck if there are any solutions, thx
ok i want to put an a glass window and some nice powerful fans on my xbox slim think you can give me an estimate i live in houton but travel to dallas all the time jorge.campos76@yahoo.com
Although there appears to be a 'single chip' under the heatsink, it is a heatspreader covering two distinct chips, a CPU and a GPU. They merely share a heatspreader and heatsink.
Ive had my 360 forever and sometimes i leave it on all night the continue to play the next day then do it again. the longest it's been on is about 80 hours give or take a few. and no rrod.
This might seem like a dumb question but I have my 360S laying down instead of standing up. Is this a bad idea as far as ventilation goes or does it not matter? The fan on the heat sink pulls the air straight up and out so I figured it would be best laying down. Also, I was thinking about placing an 80mm fan in front of the vents for the intake air right next to the hard drive to see if that reduces some of the heat. Is this a good idea or will it not really achieve anything?
@ARBuilder1776 The Xbox 360 system is built to go either way. The fan will not really achieve much since the fan that is currently in there is right on top of the heat sink just like in a computer. This is where all the heat is coming from so as long as you have it well ventilated and away from other hot electronics so it can take in cool air, you'll be good.
@wiredextreme Honestly i keep my xbox on the side for a major reason the red ring think about it if its standing up the gpu is getting pulled down but if its lyin down theres no way for the gpu to get bad.
@ARBuilder1776 When i bought my 250g 360 s i stood it up playing halo and it Laser burned the disk i brought the disk to gamestop and they said that all the slims do it if they are standing, bigger vibrations or moving the system while the disk is playing will cause the disk to get laser burned. Im not sure if it is on all them but i know mine does when its stands
@Sshibby I was afraid that might happen so I always had it laying down. I don' t understand why MS can't get their shiz together with the Xbox. There are DVD/CD systems that can play a disc without it even skipping like a car stereo does. I think they only see $ and don't bother trying to put out a product that its customers can count on to not burn up or destroy a disc.

Im not sure if it is on all them but i know mine does when its stands
@ARBuilder1776 to answer your first question i doesnt if it is standing up or laying down it still get the same amount of airflow...and the answer to your second question it would be a good idea to install a second fan for intake it would reduce heat by alot it would probaly make your systen run about 20 deg F cooler..
@youjizz691 I have original Xbox. It's 8 years old now. Still works. I play it every day. And I also have Xox 360. It' now 4 years old. STILL WORKS. So that's you talking.
@youjizz691 yup they totally suck i turned mine on for 10 seconds overheated and blew up,NOT! i bet ur 1 of the people who always says oh yeah i got a 360 had on for 1 hour then broke,did u have it in an over?the longest i had mine on was 30 hours,no problems,no lagg,no feezing no rrod,ive had for almost 2 years
Nice video !, I have a new 360S, runs like a dream , but still a hot oven after 4+ hrs of play. MS still doing a pooor job regarding platform cooling ... rhe idea is probably to make sure the unit dont last over 3 years.
I still have the old 500.00 brick that I would like to fix. I have tried all posible fix you can imagine bur still dead..can you fix it ?
@IIIechelon MS is not failing at cooling this device it's amazingly cooler than previous gen 360s. Problem is that they chose to go with an IBM PowerPC Processor in the first place. IBM procs is what was used in MACs before they went Intel Core Duo. Apple dumped IMB Procs cause they were to hot! Then MS like a genius decided to not only go with IBM but a 3.2GHz Triple Core IBM PowerPC HEAT BEAST! 3 CORES!!! @ 3.2GHz!!! & ATI GPU in a tiny box with shitty heatsinks & the X CLAMP OF SHITDOM.
@BKsMassive i fixed my xbox by myself and it works great. I change the clamps with screws.. In the weeks after the clam fix it the clams are loosing more and more power and so they cannot fix it anymore. not xbox slim. But it still could be another mistake of the motherboard ^^
thx guys i was wondering how to open the elite, and exactly how the new setup was. helped out alot.

This might seem like a dumb question but I have my 360S laying down instead of standing up. Is this a bad idea as far as ventilation goes or does it not matter? The fan on the heat sink pulls the air straight up and out so I figured it would be best laying down. Also, I was thinking about placing an 80mm fan in front of the vents for the intake air right next to the hard drive to see if that reduces some of the heat. Is this a good idea or will it not really achieve anything?

@ARBuilder1776 The Xbox 360 system is built to go either way. The fan will not really achieve much since the fan that is currently in there is right on top of the heat sink just like in a computer. This is where all the heat is coming from so as long as you have it well ventilated and away from other hot electronics so it can take in cool air, you'll be good.

@wiredextreme Honestly i keep my xbox on the side for a major reason the red ring think about it if its standing up the gpu is getting pulled down but if its lyin down theres no way for the gpu to get bad.

@ARBuilder1776 When i bought my 250g 360 s i stood it up playing halo and it Laser burned the disk i brought the disk to gamestop and they said that all the slims do it if they are standing, bigger vibrations or moving the system while the disk is playing will cause the disk to get laser burned. Im not sure if it is on all them but i know mine does when its stands

@Sshibby I was afraid that might happen so I always had it laying down. I don' t understand why MS can't get their shiz together with the Xbox. There are DVD/CD systems that can play a disc without it even skipping like a car stereo does. I think they only see $ and don't bother trying to put out a product that its customers can count on to not burn up or destroy a disc.

@ARBuilder1776 to answer your first question i doesnt if it is standing up or laying down it still get the same amount of airflow...and the answer to your second question it would be a good idea to install a second fan for intake it would reduce heat by alot it would probaly make your systen run about 20 deg F cooler..

From knowledge and experience: Stand up your 360. Your lens will last twice as long

@IIIechelon it is meant to be hot when it blows hot air out that lets u know the air is not staying on the box

@IIIechelon MS is not failing at cooling this device it's amazingly cooler than previous gen 360s. Problem is that they chose to go with an IBM PowerPC Processor in the first place. IBM procs is what was used in MACs before they went Intel Core Duo. Apple dumped IMB Procs cause they were to hot! Then MS like a genius decided to not only go with IBM but a 3.2GHz Triple Core IBM PowerPC HEAT BEAST! 3 CORES!!! @ 3.2GHz!!! & ATI GPU in a tiny box with shitty heatsinks & the X CLAMP OF SHITDOM.

The best way to avoid knock-overs is to have your console laying on it's side. Simple.

???
it doesn't make a difference. Xclamps work just as well as Screws.
you know nothing about the xbox. Xclamps have nothing to do with the RROD.

@BKsMassive i fixed my xbox by myself and it works great. I change the clamps with screws.. In the weeks after the clam fix it the clams are loosing more and more power and so they cannot fix it anymore. not xbox slim. But it still could be another mistake of the motherboard ^^

@JumperMarcel
all your doing but BOLTING down the heat sink on to a mother board is pressing really had down on the CPU and bending the Mobo.
it's not a permanent fix.
