Re: Xbox RROD - If the 'ebay xclamp kit' didnt work for long, then read this

Good luck. Dont freak out it it RROD's again 10 mins after the first successful overheating post fix. Mine did. Just overheat it again, then leave for 10 mins and then it should be fine. Hopefully that will be the last overheating I will ever have to do. Dont know if it would make a difference but I...

Re: XBOX 360RROD

If you like to change your faceplates alot the stickers become worn and flake off so dont be too worried about that. They sent me out a b...

Re: XBOX 360RROD

yeh give it another go if you are getting the 3 red lights still. Also its important to fully clean the cpus (so they shine) I used white spirit and a jay cloth and same goes for the underneath of the heat syncs before appying new paste/grease. Check this for fitting instructions; http://team-xecute...

Xbox RROD - If the 'ebay xclamp kit' didnt work for long, then read this

Originally i bought a cheap X clamp kit from ebay and my RROD went away.... for about a week or 2 and then it came back. So I re did the fix cleaning the cpus and using fresh paste etc and the same happened after 20 mins of play time. Yesterday I bought an Xecuter kit (£16) that comes complete with ...

Re: My PS3 dvd rom died!!!

I cant find any details on 3.02, any ideas what day next week or is it unknown? man i hope it fixes it. Sounds like a dead motor - you get a click and no spin. But it could be firmware - as it drives the hardware... Cant be burnt out as i havent used it enough I have unlisted it in ebay as it seems ...

My PS3 dvd rom died!!!

The drive just stopped playing discs after I did the 3.01 update and launched COD MW2. Gutted, only got one game in online and then it hung. On restart it refuses to read any disc what so ever. Games, bluray etc. Tried accessing the sys restore launch menu and tried restoring file system etc to no a...

Might scour ebay for a bargain.


Get Underground 2. Was one of the best of the NFS series IMO, better than the more recent ones.

Re: shift or forza

Even though its called Need for Speed, its nothing like previous NFS games becuase EA got Mad Creations to make it this time. The tire screeching is very annoying after a while and the cars become uncontrolable early on (tier 2) - you can completely skid out even when the racing line is green. I don...
