Don't waste your money.
Get a 360

Re: Broken xbox
 

$400 for just the console+games is way to expensive for me.

You are not going to get help asking like this.

To fix it you have 4 options:

1. send it to MS and they will fix it

2. save your money and buy an xbox 360

3. Buy a used xbox around christmas

4. live with it and stop gaming

I just finished fixing my XBox myself.

Open your XBox. You'll need a Torx 10 and a Torx 20 screwdriver bit. The outer screws are under the two silver stickers, and under each rubber foot. Use the Torx 20 for these. Then, flip it back over and take the case off.

Next, take out the hard drive. There's one Torx 10 screw on the left side, holding the HDD bracket in place. Remove the IDE cable from the hard drive and remove the whole assembly. Set it off to the side.

On the far right side, you'll see the power supply. It should say "Foxfire" on it. There are two Torx 10 screws holding this down. Then, lift out the power supply and look over by the plug end.

On mine, there were actually scorch marks on the solder. But yours may be just broken. Warm up your soldering iron and melt the solder back together. Use more solder if necessary.

Seal your XBox up and you're done.

Please close my account.

I have been looking around these forums for a few weeks now , and I decided that this place is not for me.

Thanks for all your help, and goodbye,

ROFL, unless we see some promising games, the 360 will be a waste, the whole reputation thing sound like a croak and another way for companies to track you. as for the xbox needing service, try running the xbox with no cd. if it works a bit better then, than that tell you its a cd drive or tray problem, i would get the cd drive replaced in that situation. i wouldnt imagine anything else would "click" in the xbox other than the HDD. well, thats my 2 cents ne way.
