Anyone got any old Xbox 360's with the red ring of death or PS3 with the yellow light of death that they want to get rid of?

I'll buy them off you or if you want show you how to fix them. Been in the 'fixing' mood lately.

 

I'm just giving you shit man. Glad your gettin your truck back to how you want it!

 

haha i know you are

but yeah what sounds good to someone, might not to another

 

Agreed.

 

Nope but if you want to help me with my A+ test stuff you can

 

I'll be more than happy to help you. I took my A+ in 1998 so I'm not sure what has changed but I'm going to assume a lot. Either way PC's are my strong point and I have a degree in IT. When is your test?

 

Yeah it changed Jan 2011. My test is when ever I want to take it. I was thinking of doing it like July/August range. I'm getting it so when I talk to other groups at work about issues I know a little more and I want to move to more of the Hardware side of things since I'm in the Data Center. I'll go for Server+ after that

 

moving again. about a mile west. buddy and his lady split so imma pick up and help with the mortgage.

also met someone and shes pretty cool.

anyways, thats the news of greensystemsgo.

 

I've had two 360's that red ringed on me, but I took care of it. One with a S&W .500, and the other with a SKS...

 

Damn! You know I can fix those red-rings in about 20-30min and it takes less than $2 of parts.. PS3 I can fix for free in about 20min as well and requires no parts other than a heat gun.

 

Well let me know when you want to meet up. I'm a hardware guy and this just sounds like fun.

 

Sounds Good. Sorry for not being able to go last night I passed out at 6:45pm last night

 

That reminds me... I have silver paste at home and need to fix my son's 360 this weekend. So lazy though...

 

Anyone have a different cd drive in your Xbox - if you know what I mean

 

I do I do!

 

Big enough garage with tools to work on trucks?

 

OK, so I had to replace my radiator because like a dumb ass I punched a hole in it while taking my fan and fan shroud off.

So before replacing the radiator and fan shroud I took a garden hose to my AC condenser and supercharger intercooler. The AC was a little dirty but didn't take much to clean out, the intercooler on the other hand was packed, took almost 30 minutes before it ran clear water through it. Looking at all 3 of them I noticed that the radiator and ac condenser you can see through, the intercooler you can not. It seems to have 2 offset cores and is much tighter packed. Because of that it seems to have clogged much easier and was not allowing much air to pass. This is a big deal because the intercooler blocks 80% of the AC condenser and radiator. All I did is put the garden hose on the gentle spray and put it really close to the radiators and spray until clean water ran through that section.

Once done with that I re-installed my new radiator and fan shroud/fan & fan clutch and topped off the system. It was 105 today down in Tucson so it was a good day to test it out. After about 30 minutes of stop and go traffic around town the temp never got above 189 and sat at 184-186 for 90% of the time. Then I jumped on the freeway with a nice hard acceleration and then sitting at 70-75 mph and the temp went up to 191-193 but still a totally manageable temp.

A little more testing needs to be done but for the most part I think my issues are taken care of, I am still looking at installing a pusher fan just for low speed offloading to help with the temps but I will no regularly clean my radiators after every off road trip.
