My xbox is now asthmatic, it often wheezes, the dust crippling my much needed relaxation period! Is there any way, any form of maintenance or resuscitation that may improve my quality of life?

 

How do I clean this damn thing!?

Put it in a bathtub full of soapy water. :rolleyes:

 

 

I take no responsability for the results

I have no present solution apart from that mentioned above, but i blame Bill Gates. <_<

The policy here at Microsoft is that the customer is guilty of all damages done to our beautiful consoles.

Oh Bill. You slay me.

Put it in a bathtub full of soapy water.  :)

... WAIT! 110 volts?

 

This only works if you get in the bath first, then drop it in whilst it is connected to the main AC power supply.

 

:(

Understand that opening the XBox will void your warranty.

 

xbox-scene.com has some nifty tutorials with pictures that will walk you through step by step, but it is really easy. You will need a special torx driver, which you can get at Radio Shack.

 

I recommend some canned air. And if you're like me, when you're in there you will also remove the heat sinks off the CPU and GPU and scrape that sorry pink bubble-gum thermal goop off and put on some good thermal goop like Arctic Silver.

When I first read the title I thought he was talking about the CEO of the company, not the Xbox... >_<

From Microsoft customer service:

 

"Do not dispair. This behaviour is normal as all current XBoxes will break down to their atomic components in November 2005. However, by adding our exciting new "XBox360" product to your exisiting setup at that time, you will discover that all your problems have been rectified. Unless you really like the hard disk in your XBox of course, in which case an additional cash injection of a further $100 will suffice to restore your system to normality."

So ti's a 'feature'. ;)

I've never really understood that, sure it may void your warranty, but how the hell will Microsoft ever know that you have opened your XBox at all (unless you make a mess inside it) :blink:

they have Simpsons like Fiber Optic cable!

Susan!? Dear Man the thing is Male as exhibited by its power... only the Gamecube can be referred to as female... because it's small, and a box....

There are two stickers that must be cut into in order to open the case.

Like the way you give any pet you have its own name?
