The Xbox 360E is an easy console to take apart. I got one second hand a few years back and the fan stopped working. I opened it, cleaned it, replaced the thermal paste with MX4 and changed the fan. Works flawlessly.
I've never taken apart a console successfully besides a blue wii that I left alone after getting apart I have an extremely scratched 360E though that I got for $25 about 4 years ago with a bunch of games and the technician I've taken my xbox and Playstation to said he doesn't go older than xbox one so was wondering if I could deep clean this on my own? And thermal paste I don't know where to get that or what to even use
@@josephhall7317 Oh my gosh do it dude. Take it slowly, make sure you have the right tools and carefully watch tutorials. Check out websites with tear downs. I don't know why repair guys wouldn't do this, the Xbox 360E must be easier than the Xbox One. The original Xbox is very easy and the Xbox 360E is fairly easy. But take your time, make sure you feel around when trying to open it, don't force it. If it feels like it's not going to open, stop, re-check what you've done and re-check the tutorials. Japanese consoles are harder. They're usually far more complex to open and mess around with and have so many screws. Trying to open and deal with a PS2 Slim or a GameCube is far more work than an Original Xbox or Xbox 360E. The original Xbox 360 is harder though.
Say hello to Brazil, here the 360 console is much loved by Brazilians, it was part of a great generation, I loved the channel and I wish there were more Xbox 360 videos
A legendary masterpiece bro. Outstanding. Its 3d vinyl is looking amazing Nothing is obsolete for you Edit who ever liked right now wait a bit I am just watching this vid
Looks terrific! It's very clean and quite elegant. There's something to be said for keeping things clean and simple and what you've done here is a perfect example.
Hi Andrew, I just finished up cleaning and customizing my Xbox 360E exactly how you did, it ended up looking amazing!! Thank you for the well explanation, couldn't do it without you.
I've just finished mine flowing your tutorial ! Took shiny black and it's awesome ! Thank you very much for your work, very useful, I can tell ! Thanks !!
For the rails of the DVD, use alittle lithium grease, it will help the Lazer move around. The rubber thing in the back of the disk drive has always cracked and become old, so I used friction tape for it. If yall ever had some old thermal paste that just won't come off with alcohol, use alittle dw40 on it. It will lift that thermal paste right off, then rub it down with some alcohol to remove the rest of the paste and wd40:)
bende xbox 360 e aldım oda çizimli kirli bir hali var bende böyle yapacam ama adamın kaplama yaptığı kağıdı bulamadım, internette hep aşırı kalın kaplama var xbox logosu o kaplamanına altında çok çirkin sırıtır
After my PS3 took a yellow light of death, and was replaced with a system that got rid of backwards compatibility and got hacked in 2011, I bought one of these from a 10th anniversary of XBox promo. It was a decent bundle. And a great system for certain.
I own two of these 360 models. I purchased the first years ago but it eventually died, I’m assuming RROD. I got a replacement console and put the old one in storage in case I needed spare parts, and the second 360 is holding up great.
As a game and game consoles collector I have to say this looks totally awesome. I like watching your videos great content. What size hard drive did you install? You are a master of mods and repairs!!!!
A very awesome restoration! I recently purchased one of these 2nd hand. I want to clean it internally and replace the thermal paste. I may paint the scratched glossy surface. DKOldies this is what refurbishment looks like! Take notes!
I got one a month ago, and it is very loud. I'm assuming there's a lot of dust, and it might need some new thermal paste. I'm still a bit intimidated by opening it, but it doesn't seem to be that hard. That vynil you put, made it look very good!
Great to see the master at work. Sweet mod 🥰🤩! Great video once gain Andrew. Thanks for the amazing videos of inspiration throughout the year. Wishing you & your family a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🤶🎄& Happy New Year 🥳🥳!
It’s crazy I still have this console brand new and ps1-5 and xbox og- series x all new still in boxes I want to see how much these will cost in the future
Usually when I take apart the CD-ROM, something very bad happens. The ribbon cables are prone to breaking like an iPhone is to cracking (or water damage). If you take it lose you most likely break the CD-ROM. I’ve done that before when trying to oil some gears that were having a hard time opening the tray (after replacing the belts) and that CD-ROM never worked again. It’s the one thing I stay away from because of the complex mechanisms and compact design which makes repairs much harder.
Either the GPU or the Triple Core PowerPC is prone to running hot so if something happens you would have the RROD (Red Ring Of Death) don't let it happen, I just wonder why they didn't go with Phase Change Cooling to prevent the RROD.
Instead of a screwdriver to remove the xclamp, I suggest buying the removal tool for beginners. It’s less than $10 (maybe even $5) but if that screwdriver slips and destroys components on the bottom of the board then you’re going to have a bad day. Cheap insurance.
