hi all,
A while back i asked about how to fix an xbox 360 with the ring of death,
in this case it was all 4!
Someone here sent me the 'destruction's links on how to strip down the box.
Having fixed the box i didn't bother saving the links so if anyone can help
me find it please help.

Just some other information. My son saw the you tube videos telling viewers
to wrap it in a towel and causing it to over heat which fixes the problem! I
didn't know about this until he had it wrapped for over an hour switched on
which im sure has killed it?
I did strip it down and cleaned the cpu/gpu and applied new heat sink
compound but on switch on it went down to 3 rings of death.
So any ideas on what might be wrong now?
It did fire up for a few moments then crashed which id say was over heating
but that issue was dealt with? and heat sink clamps all ok.
The box is out of warranty..well it certainly is now! so the only fix is
either myself (again) or a shop which will cost just as much as a new 360.
Ok thanks in advance for any help on getting the links again and please
don't tempt me to drop it from a great height! well then again it's an idea
LOL
cheers

Don't touch electronic equipment ever again. You're too stupid to
understand such things.

replying as you only replaced that waste of space by errr yourself,,,a waste
of space :-/
