hey guys,

 

ive been doing extensive repairs on these consoles as a side hobby/job around my local area for about 14 months now, thought id extend it to you guys :)

 

the ''FAT'' ps3s are getting old now and are starting to malfunction, for example, the Yellow Light Of Death,disc read errors,problems loading or ejecting disc, just as the xbox 360's have the red ring of death and similar disc drive issues, im sure a few of you are keen gamers, just thought id offer this service,

i can also customise xbox 360 consoles and controllers, i can change all the lights on the controller,console, add new fans to prevent re occuring red ring for life, rapid fire into both platforms controllers, great for call of duty.

if any1 is interested please let me know.

thanks guys.:)

hi mate,what kinda price for the xbox ring of death fix,is it resoldering some joints it needs?ill tell my mate,he may send it to you as he has one like that.

What do you charge for the red ring of death on a 360 (second gen)?

hard to say really mate, it could need, Re-balling if it has suffered a complete meltdown, or it could need re-flowing,which in my experience is 9/10 the case.also the clamps that support the processors cause unnecessary strain on the board under high temperatures so the will need to be replace with independent nylon supports.

price wise,usually i charge 35 for a standard RROD repair, but thats local without P+P.

for fellow Z club members,

the price of parts and postage, so most likely cost roughly 10pound postage,parts cost me 4pound in most cases, then postage return so id estimate 23quid-ish but if theres enough interest i will definatly look into exact prices for the postage ETC, if custom mods are required then the parts are bit more, for example for a new set of fans that prevent the red ring coming back 70% more than stock, also with the choice of LED glow from rear of console, it would be an extra 15pound, i can also use the redundant stock fans as auxillary with small switch for another 5, these prices are just what it cost me,i dont require labour costs for fellow Z owners.

BTW so far ive had i 100% success rate, but in the unlikely event of failure,all will be refunded and re- repaired of required.

I could be interested in that. I've got a replacement now but would be good to get the old one fixed then hack it and install ubunutu and xbmc and use it as a media machine

I have had RROD on my xbox before and repaired it twice now using different kits. From what i have found it is inevitable that the fault will reappear be it 6 months or a year down the line which is a shame. I just wonder if you have had this same problem or have had one repaired for that length of time?

 

Also im pretty sure a mod will be along shortly to close this thread as you are not a subscribed member.

oh dear, i was unaware i had to be, i want to subscribe but i got laid off yesterday, so,maybe friday when i get my redundancy :) alot of people have commented on it being well worth subscription.

 

well in the 14 months ive only had 1 fault reoccur and that was on a 60gb ps3, i found the problem to be the thermal paste used, poor quality. since i changed to high quality artic silver, no problems, but i know adding the uprated fan, and or using auxillary, will cure the problem.for good.

 

hoping it wont get closed, but if it does,ill try put same again when ive subscribed.

thanks guys.

I would think if he subscribes it should be alright as if he was offering this as a free service with just the cost of parts to be covered. If there was any money on top i think he'd be looking at having to become a trader but i think that'll be down to the discretion of the mods.
