@666MuDvAyNeR666 Only if you work in a cotton mill is there enough "dust" to clog up your computer. I've disassembled many computers that are older than you and found very little dust...certainly not enough to stop the operation. 90% of the people who OPEN their xbox for your imagined dust problem will end up frustrated and disappointed. The bitch needs to go back to MS or to a local shop that knows how to fix the heat sensor....

@garygw Either your post is a very bad attempt at trolling, or you just don't know anything as dust IS the main and almost only cause for most of the X360 problems. Dust causes heat, heat causes damage, which cause 2 red rings and 3 red rings errors. In every console or computer, dust needs to be removed periodically. Also, the "open tray" error is 9/10 times due to dust mixing with grease on the laser lens rail and causing little balls of shit to prevent it from moving and working properly.

Total waste of time....it would take years to accumulate enough dust to cause overheating....

Excellent tutorials on 2 red rings (overheating)! Thank you, successfully cleaned up my xbox and powered up.

Cont. Just if you do, there is a good chance you will break snaps on your case. Upgrade your fan and if you have an older xbox, I have a first gen Elite, consider upgrading the heat sink to the newer model. Super easy to do after you have done it. You also need a hex screw driver in two sizes, again look for size online.

Repair the RROD is easy and costs about twenty bucks. Buy and only use Arctic Silver therm paste / grease. DON'T use the cheap shit or you will have to redo it in the future. Dollar store usually sells goo gone or you can use nail polish to remove old paste. Shit can the old x clamp system on your heat sinks, they are junk. Replace with bolts and washers with silicone washers in between. Check size online. BUY the tool online to open your xbox case, you can do it without it, cont...
