Well, you can try to get a thin piece of postcard, try to slit it the disk drive and just move the card from side to side. Then leave it for a day or two. I got tried that after watching a video on youtube, and so far, no problem yet. And my console is second hand too.

DM.. go watch youtube videos.. go SL buy some screws... and.. cross your fingers

so far works for me.

**S7r4T4** · 03-07-2009, 01:57 PM

or you can always wait to get a new console; there's rumours in the wind that Microsoft will be cutting the price of the 360 some time this year...

Sorry man. That is the temporary fix(not recommended, as it might further spoil the lens) for unreadable disc errors, not for RRoD.

Change the whole motherboard (friendly) with 3 months warranty for $180

Do not use towel trick . It will blow your console.
Make an easy fix - just replace that xclamp and use high quality thermal paste.

screw and nut method is not a pernament method just by itself

**~LosT_pROpHETs~** · 07-08-2009, 08:21 PM

If it looks like this:
[Horizontal 360]

[Vertical 360]

Then send it to Challenger at Funan... they will change to a new one... for the warranty part, i dont know whether they still accept or not but i heard you need to wrap the 360 in a box with bubblewrap or something....
