Xbox Elite Repair - How to Fix Your Xbox
There are many different things that can go wrong with your console. The Xbox Elite is simply too expensive to sit there and rot.
Follow these simple tips and you may be able to fix your Xbox without taking it apart.
1. The lens on the disk drive may be dirty. Put a CD cleaner in the drive and let it run. These are the same disk cleaners that we once used in our CD player. Yep, the same ones with the little brush on the bottom of the disk. As the disk spins it cleans the lens. Give it a shot. It can't hurt.
2. There may be some dust particles in there that the CD cleaner can't remove. Use a compressed can of air and blow it into the drive bay. I know that there are lots of gurus out there that say not to do this because it will just evenly distribute the dust. The fact is, I have done it, and have had instant results.
3. If you are getting the red ring of death system error, just turn your console off. That's right, just turn it off and let it sit for a few minutes. After it has been sitting with the power off, cut it back on and see what happens. I have seen this work so many times with my console.
If you don't get any results after turning your xbox console off and back on, do the same thing by turning it off. But this time, unplug your console. Then disconnect all leads, cables and wires from your console. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Be patient and wait for the entire 30 minutes. Chances are when you turn it back on, it will be working properly.
Sometimes you just need a few quick tips to get your started in the right direction. Good luck. I hope you have success in fixing your xbox console
