Free Xbox 360 and PS3 Repairs

This is honestly very generous of you. I might need to take you up on this, since my 2010 360 is having random freezes and sketchy audio sometimes. (not sure when it red rings when these things start happening, but I'm sure it's soon enough.)

I just have one question. If I send it in, do you need the cables along with it, or just the box? Also, do you fix the disc drive sticking issue? (Disc drive refuses to open when there isn't a disc in the drive, and you have to push on the door a certain way to get it open)

If you would be able to take care of both items, I would be willing to make a good donation when the time comes.

Okay, that was more than one question.

I'll have to take advantage of this when I get the chance (That is if I can!). One of my 360s needs a disc drive laser replacement, and my friend gave me his brother's RROD system to pull the laser out of it, so I essentially have 2 broken, but fixable 360s.

Feel free to, but just thinking about the pricing of me shipping Scott105 a Xbox 360 of mine to Canada was quite hefty.

Well, I am looking for a job so I'll stash away a nice amount of spare cash.

I'd just need the console. I have AV cables, as well as a universal 203w power supply. As for the disc drive issue, I haven't fixed any with that issue but I'd be will to have a look. Zaertix metioned sending a few Xbox's my way to be fixed, and if I can't fix them that I could use the parts. Not sure if the disc drive is included in that offer, but I'd definitely be will to install them into Temper's Xbox 360's with broken disc drives.

*ahem* It'd be nice for a sticky, or something.

Just wanted to say I took some monies out of my pocket and bought a fiber scratching brush, and Xacto Knife as well as some more solder. So that I can flash Xbox 360 Slim Xbox's.

Heh, I've got that bit covered. Thanks for the offer.

Drives will be included with every box. They've all been disassembled so I'm unsure what goes with what, but I do have all the drives for all the boxes.

I'm doing inventory on all my equipment and then I'll be working on mailing them out to Devin

 

[Devin]

That'd be great. Just let me know. As a sort of off topic thing, I reviewed a game in the Review section I want you to check out to see if that's what you're looking for your website. I managed to review it a day before it's release date.

If I find the time to go through my collection of 360's that I've picked up over the years I think I might have a few to send your way that could be used for spare parts. I have about 6 or so and I know that at least 2 are total fubar and need reballed in order to be fixed. The others just need some minor shit I think and as I've gotten pretty lazy in the last year or so I might take you up on your service.

You should learn to fix other devices other than the Xbox 360/PS3. That way, you'll have more experience in electronics. You could even start building test projects with PCBs.

@devin how hot does the heat gun have to get to? My dad has one and was wondering for future purposes , Idk what kind but I can check the temp with an ir temp gun

-___-'' I might need my 360 to be flashed again to the latest 3.0 because I'm still truncating my XGD3 games. Do I get any special offers?

I tend to put it around 200C to start it out. Simply because that's the lowest temp on my Rework Station. I've read that you should definitely start it out at a lower temp to be more careful, and slowly go up.

Aha sure send it over. I can't do any special offers, considering all I charge is shipping.

Lol it only has a heat and cool setting so I probably need to do some tinkering but good to know, I had a friend that got rrod and didn't tell me , I later found out he smashed it with a hammer and bought a new one I didn't bother telling him It could've been fixed with some heat after he did it.

I would just need my USB popper or whatever you call it fixed... The thing that springs up when you take out USB
Also disc tray issues...
Xbox 360

USB Port cover. Most of my 360s have the spring that pops it back it missing. As for the disc tray issues, shouldn't be a problem to fix. I may have a spare faceplate with springs around here that I can swap with your one without a spring.

Sorry about that last post. I was typing on a mobile device.

USB Cover Issue:
Description: USB port cover won't pop back up in the front (as you said, probably the spring)

Disc Tray issue :
Description: Has loud ringing sounds when reading discs. When opening the tray the disc will continue to spin while making grinding sounds (does not damage the disc, surprisingly).

I assume a stopper is out of place or something along those lines. I've never had any issues with my Xbox 360 for over 2 years. (since I bought it). It's an elite (standard one). It was never dropped, barely moved (only room-to-room carefully) and it randomly started the disc tray issue. It's not much of a problem, but more of an annoyance, as it makes the Xbox much louder.

 

[Devin]

Not a problem. If I can't fix your drive issue I have a replacement drive here waiting that would fix it up. And I have a spare faceplate somewhere with a working USB Port cover.

I can take a look, but it might need a replacement lens/disc drive. Of which you would have to buy as I don't have any spare PS3s around.
