THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL! Just getting that out of the way. 08/22/2011 A good friend of mine, who I often help out with many computer problems, started having issues with this console.. So he went and bought a brand new one. So he calls me, because I helped him set up the first console and it worked flawlessly up until now. He told me he was having problems with reading game discs, which I figured was probably due to the amount of dust that literally came pouring out of the thing when I pulled off the hard drive case… So he said, if I could fix it, I could keep it. And in fact, the laser diode itself in the DVD-ROM’s laser assembly was completely blocked by a dust ball! So yay, I just inherited a perfectly working XBox 360 lol… Not that I see myself using it much; I’m pretty sure I’ve made it clear I’m not much of a gamer. But what the hell, I’ll at least make it last! I know of the all-too-common Red Ring of Death or 3 Red Lights of Death due to major CPU and/or GPU overheating, so the system got a good overhaul by me… And after this video, I decided to jump back into it and add a 40mm fan directly to the CPU heatsink, drawing power straight from the 12v line on the console’s power input.. A little noisy admittedly but hey, it probably won’t overheat now lol. So for those of you who do have XBox Live and want to add me, I’m AK49BWL (of course)… Please also leave a comment here with your gamer tag so I at least know who I’m adding lol. Just know I probably won’t be …
Here’s a quick video I made showing this bizarre problem I’m having with my Xbox Slim. The weirdest thing is that the Xbox worked perfectly fine before I initially put it back together, and now it’s only been giving me red light! Watch the entire video for all the details, and PLEASE comment or message me if you have any info at all. Thanks!

A quick tutorial on how to change the colour of your Xbox 360′s ring of light. In this video I show how I change the original green LEDs to a much nicer blue. This mod requires some soldering a steady hand. Don’t try it if you’re no confident with a soldering iron. I take no responsibility if you mess up you console trying to do this. LEDs used in this video are 0603 SMD Blue. You can get them on ebay. Thanks for watching!
