Xbox 360 Repair Guide Choice

Filed under Computers

If you try and search in online forums, you will find out that there are so many gamers who are very much confused on how they can bring their xbox 360s back to life after crashing.

They complain about how they have shelled out so much just to have their game consoles gather dust.

One solution that they aren't advising however is that you bring your xbox 360 to Microsoft. For one, you are totally going to blow your budget by having your xbox repaired there, and second, it can take weeks until you get your xbox back. If your warranty has expired already, opt to repair your own xbox instead.

The only thing that you need to repair your xbox 360 and solve your dilemma is an xbox 360 repair guide. There are so many of these guides in the internet that claim that you can have your xbox 360 running in less than an hour. And they are so confident in their guide that they will give you a refund if your game console isn't fixed yet after an hour.

The thing that you have to consider when purchasing an xbox 360 repair guide is that it must be easy for you to follow all the instructions. There are different guides that will take you days before you understand the instructions. So make sure that the guide you wish to purchase includes pictures and illustrations to help you through each step.

You can always find one that has videos together with the pdf file guide. This is a lot better since you can see all the steps demonstrated. A few guides will even make you a member of their site where they post different videos related to the guide that you have purchased.

But if things are just too complicated, you can always ask help from their online support.

Before you even try and do something to your xbox 360, make sure to scan the guide from cover to cover first. This will allow you to get a heads up on the entire process.

Once you know the steps, you can repair your console with much ease. Other guides only offer troubleshooting information for 3 red light while other cover various problems.

How To Repair PS3 Fast.

Filed under Computers

A PS3

After you spent $400 on a PS3 console a few weeks later it causes problems. Try not to get to upset there are some things you can do to fix it. If you're not electronically gifted, stay away from it. Send it back to Sony for $150. But if not here are a few tricks to repair ps3.

Step one

When you go to turn on your game and you get the blinking red light there is a definite issue. First before you panic, try to turn the game off for one minute or two and then turn it back on. Lots of the time if you catch it early it could be fixed by this simple step.

Secondly

Be careful as not to damage anything but try and take out the hard drive. Leave it out for at least an hour. This will let it cool down. Alright now that it's been an hour go ahead and place the hard drive back in its place.

It's not reading the discs.

When you are unable to read the disc it is most likely the laser. The laser is kind of hard to clean so again be very careful. Remove a couple of screws under the outer shell. Their may be a couple of layers to remove. The laser should be visible do not touch it. Gently wipe it clean with a Q-tip. Pour just a little alcohol on the Q-tip, try not to soak it.

There is no power to it.

Unfortunately you may need to replace the power supply. Do a Google search for a power supply you may find one for cheap. If you heard a loud pop sound while playing then most likely a fuse blew. Take the fuse out of the supply and bring it to any electronic store. They will be able to replace that for you.

Lastly

You paid an arm and a leg for one of the hottest gaming consoles out there. Who wants to pay another arm for it to be fixed? Learn to repair ps3 and it will save you time and money.
