Under no circumstances plug the air ducts.

Avoid placing it in enclosed spacesthat do not have good cooling or that concentrate heat from other devices.

Obviously, because Xbox 360s are very delicate consoles, we will need to maintain some basic precautions during use after they have been repaired:

x4 washers of 3mm internal diameter and 7mm external diameter.

x2 screws of 3mm diameter and 30mm long.

x8 washers of 6mm internal diameter and 10mm external diameter.

Subject the console to several hours of play to verify that it does not fail.

Apply the hack that makes the fans always run at 12v (faster), causing the console to draw much more heat from the inside right from the start.

Open a new air duct at the front of the air circuit and place an extra fanThe efficiency of these parts is multiplied.

Improving anchorages of the heatsinks so that the heatsinks are better secured.

Restore the thermal paste that makes the processors (both CPU and GPU), dissipate heat to the heatsinks themselves, as over time it ceases to be fully effective.

Reheat all components so that they make proper contact again.

Dismantle the Xbox 360 completely and clean all its components, thus making the air circulation much smoother.

In the video at the top of this post we have the whole process of repairing the console, which includes:

Secondly, and also as a consequence of very defective materials, the base plate of the device arches and causes some components to no longer make good contact, again causing the 3 red lights.

First of all, the welds soften and stop making contact, leading to a multitude of errors, all of which are grouped into the typical 3 red lights.

All over the Internet there are many tutorials explaining this, but I can say from experience that with these consoles, to give an excellent and lasting result, it is not enough with just one trick.īasically what happens to this console to make it so problematic is excessive heat, resulting in the following: For several months now, I have been working in my spare time on repairing the problems of the well-known 3 red lights on the Xbox 360I decided to record the process in one of them so that you all know how I do it so that they never come out again.
