Anyone repaired one before?

I've tried the towel trick.

I've taken it apart and put new thermal compound on it.

I then did the towel trick again.

Still blinkin.

Before this thing gets wings and flies out my window...HELP!

I have fixed about 8 so far and all are still running. PM me for my number. Legit fix btw no overheating tricks. New bolts, replace x-clamps, new thermal paste (done right) and a full cleaning. Have 2 right now that im working on also haha.

PM-ed.

I just fixed mine with the thermal compound and making sure that the clamps were tight enough.

I was lazy with mine and just bought a new Elite last week. Good to know someone local is repairing them without having to go all the way to Microsoft.

If you can put a CPU in a computer you can fix an Xbox. The hardest part is getting the case open.
