Make sure that you ask how many washers or the measurement someone uses when they fix your Xbox 360. There needs to be exactly 2, 1mm washers (1 steel/metal and 1 nylon) between the heatsinks and motherboard. There also needs to be 4, 1 mm washers (3 steel/metal and 1 nylon) between the metal case and the bottom of the motherboard. This ensures an even pressure across the entire motherboard which prolongs the life of your Xbox 360. Anything less will equal a quicker breakdown of your components and you will have the red ring of death appear earlier than you want (6months to a year).

Now I am not saying that your Xbox 360 will last forever (because of very poor design), but properly fixing your Xbox 360 will ensure its maximum lifespan.

I can fix your Xbox 360 RROD for $50.00 and that includes the parts and reflowing (will use heat gun if needed) of the motherboard. You will get it back within 24 - 48 hrs, sometimes the same day. I can also pick up, repair, and deliver for $60.00 (a little more if you live to far out) if you live in or near the Fox Valley.

I have repaired and refurbished many XBOX 360 Consoles due to the "Red Ring of Death" problem. I can also swap out your old disc drive and replace with a new one. It would take a little longer though, because I would have to order the new drive.

If you get the red ring of death after my fix, I will re-examine and fix your xbox 360 for free if my first fix is faulty (don't worry, it won't happen:). That is why I give you a 30 day warranty on the fix. Just remember to let your 360 rest once in awhile. It's best to shut it off every few hours or so and let it cool for at least 15 - 30 minutes (tell your kids). This applies mainly to gaming (IE., graphic processing, loading times, etc.).

I also can troubleshoot computer problems as well.
