Im doing some repairs on my xbox tonight and I cant possibly make it out to NCIX before it closes.

I'm looking for some high end heatsink paste.

Just need to repaste the heatsinks on my 360.

I just need a little bit and I can return the bottle to you later tonight or tomorrow.
Beer will be bought upon return.

You know you pretty much void any possibility of warranty by doing that, right?

[cubed]

Marty's like a crackhead desperately looking for a fix.

Pretty soon there's going to be a thread that he'll suck cock for someone to fix his xbox.

[ebbomega]

I'm rather surprised there already hasn't been actually.

[askdjasd]

My friend is going to help me out

My warranty is expired and if you look on the couch potato thread, sending it in could possibly take a long ass time to get it back... working.

Plus its a learning expirience.

[dj_soo]

your warranty is not expired.

Xbox.com | Xbox 360 Warranty and Service Enhancements

360 came out in 2006. It's 2008. You still have a year of warranty.

Everyone's already been telling you this yet you insist that you can't use your warranty which is out and out wrong. All you have to do is call MS and ensure that you didn't buy a stolen xbox off craigslist.

[askdjasd]

yes

but

the xbox i might recieve, might be a pos.. refurbished. waiting 2-6 weeks is something I dont really want to risk.
but hey, maybe it might work.
Then who knows? it works for a week and I gotta send it back.

I've done my reading and there's more negatives than positives sending it back to MS.

[cubed]

Basically Marty likes to burn money.

[askdjasd]

burn money?

I have little faith in ms products.. thus all the piracy.

But I'm looking to fix this myself

I did some more investigating and I found the fix to exactly what my xbox is going through. There it is.

"I learned how to fix an advance piece of electronics from this web page. Here goes nothing!"

This will end in tears.

[b0ld]

wasn't the overheating issues on the xbox have to do with something with the multiplier on the board?

[wishbone]

what's it like having a scrap heap of wires and aluminum in your living room?

[askdjasd]

it's good???

[Senior]

this thread is funny!

[cubed]

most things involving marty are.

[askdjasd]

he doesnt have anything to say.

which is ok.. hell, i'd buy a ps3 as well for a bluray player. Hopefully, in a year the PS3 will have its own original games. But so far its either 360 specific or its multiplatform.

[fritz]

i have zalman at harbour centre

[sNyx]

Marty, I got a full tube of white paste on me, ready to be used. If we can properly hotsink I would be happy to apply it inside your xbox. Hopefully we can reach a satisfying conclusion here. Let me know.

I remember back in the day when my friend was going to "help me out" with installing a car stereo system.

Fast forward to him holding a wire going "wtf is this???", and to him trying to burn a piece of plastic with his bic lighter in order to change its shape enough to get it to physically fit in place.

Since then I let experts handle my shit

change shape, or shrink?

shrink wrapping wire with plastic is pretty normal actually :)

Okay man, but if you screw it up worse you're sitting on an XBrick 360 and basically nobody will touch it. A refurbed POS MS product > No working product whatsoever.
