My Xbox Red ringged a while back and have not done anything about it. Anyone have experience fixing them or know of a place that does at a reasonable price? Id hate to have it just sit there. Thanks

Take it apart and look over the back of the motherboard for cracked solder joints. If so easy fix.

My roommate in college kept having this happen, I think he went through 4 or 5 systems, heat causes the CPU to separate over time I guess. This is what we did to fix it after we got it back the last time his warranty was valid... obviously this would have voided any warranty. Anyway, it wasn't pretty, but it used 2 120 mm fans, some grills, a dremel tool, old AC power adapter with a 12v output, solder, and about 20 minutes. If you are desperate to keep your 360 running cool for awhile and don't care how it looks...

Spyware, that actually looks pretty bada$$. maybe you should consider modding them for people. I'm sure you'd get better at it, and who wouldn't want their Console to look like a PC anyway?
I did'nt think the factory warranty would still be in effect for a console old enough to have it start falling apart...

Thanks
The thing with the warranties was they weren't old systems, at the time we were in an un air conditioned dorm room, and we couldn't control the radiator in winter, so it was constantly about 90 degrees, so he would basically red ring a system every 2 months, even only playing it a few hours a week. They might have added more cooling in later models, this was 3 years ago maybe. I'm sure a modification like that could be polished quite a bit, I have even seen water cooled ones online, but at what point do you just decide 'time to get a PC' particularly with an XBOX
