There's a lot of corruption of the video in the form of vertical rows of small white blocks, the sounds also stops so it's not just the video chip. Also no red rings on the circular display.
If the system is turned off then on again it does the same thing very quickly.
Overheating methinks, so I pulled the thing apart and removed the two coolers, cleaned the surfaces and applied arctic silver then put the lot back together. Never done this before so made me sweat a bit. Unfortunately it hasn't made the slightest bit of difference. Still does exactly the same.
I'm in Chester so can anyone recomend someone that can either sort this out or is there anyone local that could sort out a new Xbox preferably within reasonable driving distance. The poor lad is gutted so I'm hoping to get this sorted ASAP.
Here's hoping ..... GedR
