My brother is such a geek (and how to solve your XBOX’s overheating problem)

September 16, 2009 at 12:30 am · Filed under Geek Culture & Tech

If you’re a gamer, you’ll probably be aware of the fact that the XBOX line is severely screwed from birth. The main problem is overheating, which renders the machine useless after a month or so (Ahhh Microsoft).

After taking his machine to Aladdin (the famous guys for fixing games), he discovered that there isn’t an actual solution for this overheating problem. So he went and bought those little laptop heating trays, removed the fans, stripped the XBOX bare, glued them inside, and then decided that it’s a better idea to play with the XBOX without its body.

And it’s actually working.

Just in case anyone wants to figure out what to do with their XBOX if it stops working from heating up. The screen goes fuzzy and then it shuts down.

And my eloquence drops down to 0 when I’m sleepy. Nigh!

    people used to have barbecue party and grill sausage on a PS3,

    A pity no one came up with console liquid cooling system as in PC’s

    Another Advise: get your self a Full HD 32″ screen minimum, you’ll waste your graphic power and game play fun, your CRT Screen resolution is at max 780×460 pixel .. and a fuzzy display..

    khaLIDJARRAR dont worry about it I was just testing it
    Mesh I already have another xbox hooked to the main 34″ tv this is just one i run my tests on
    Alaa geeks rule the world my friend
    Dana that is actually one of the worst things you could do cause yes it lets you play for a day or two but at the same time it fries other parts in the xbox that shouldnt overheat, I’d advise your hubby to research it

    Thanks Roba dearest, but an advise to all, don’t fix your console at Aladdin cause they’ll just rip you off
