Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First of all I'll start out by saying that this repair kit fixed my xbox 360 like a charm. I didn't have the Rrod, but my xbox wasn't displaying video anymore, so I gave this kit a shot, and I'm glad I did.
I'll start a more in depth review by reviewing the quality of the product itself first. The kit comes with all the necessary hardware to easily take apart the 360 and reinstall the heatsinks effectivly. The "official" xbox360 opening kit fits like a glove, and it holds up pretty well (the only problem I had was that the pointy part to push down the clips on the outside casing started to bend when I was done, but it still did its job well). The kit also comes with extra washers which helped me out a ton. Finally, this particular kit comes with 3 artic silver products to reapply thermal paste to the heatsinks (you may notice several different kits when you search amazon, most contain the essentials to do the x-clamp fix like the screws and washers while some contain various thermal paste). Artic Silver is probably one of the best thermal pastes on the market, so this is why I choose this kit.
Installation...
The installation took me about 2 hours from start to finish, and for the most part the instructions were detailed and easy to follow. I was able to do the whole installation by myself, but for some parts it would help to have an extra hand or two available - especially when reinstalling the heatsinks.
- NOTE: I would recommend grounding yourself while you do this since you're working with the motherboard directly, and any electronic circuit board can be destroyed by static electricity. You can ground yourself by touching a metal object before working, also it's best to avoid carpet surfaces if you can.
End Result...
At first when I hooked up my 360 and turned it on it still didn't display video. I figured I'd let it run for a little bit for the thermal paste to take hold, and the heatsinks to reset onto the chips(around 10-15 minutes). I then held the power button in until it turned off. Once I turned it back on I was pleasently suprised to see the video displaying on my 360 without any errors.
