the power button is showing two red lights on the left hand side , whats the crack there then , anyone know

Probably an overheating issue mate and would be the same procedure for fixing as 3 red lights. Mate of mine runs a shop that fixes them and some showbetween 1 and 3 red lights, some dont show any but the pictures freezes or goes to pot!
Excellent games machine but crap for reliability!!

i thought that its turned off at the mo , will leave it for a while , to you suppose i need it fixed, and how much we talking about

fastflow · 14-10-08, 05:28 PM

Depends where you go, my mate charges 45 at his shop and gives either a 60 or 90 day guarantee. Can be done yourself for a cople of quid plus a decent tube of thermal paste, but can be a headache to get right!

Isn't the two red lights if the XClamp mod isn't done correctly? I think you need to tighten the bolts you replace the clamps with. I may be wrong but that's the situation I was in.

its not a modded x box matey , just found the reciept, its under warrenty , back its going , thx for your help guys

No probs mate...it will probably come back with a new motherboard and one of those pesky lite-on drives...nice unless your modding it!

BL4K3Y · 14-10-08, 08:01 PM

Haha, there's plenty of tuts on the net anyway on how to spoof the Lite-On drive. You could just buy an XBox 360 Elite which should not have a Lite-On. You will probable get a BenQ or Hitachi 079 which are both easy to mod

Pretty much anything thats coming off the shelves or back from microsoft after repair has a lite-on drive. Very lucky if get anything else!! Not as hard as it sounds to get the key off the drive though

BL4K3Y · 14-10-08, 08:28 PM

I'm actually thinking of modding a mates Lite-On. Do you know where I can buy (or preferably build) a Max3232 for extracting the key?
