Xbox keeps crashing

[Goldberg]

No RROD, but my 360 has started to lock up and display shite all over the screen...

Anyone else seen this, know what the cause might be?

It just so happens I have a Slim on the way, but what can I do about this?

[Goldberg]

Oh dear? Now what??

[BIG-TED]

you answered your won question there mate.
try x clamp fix kit

Or if you plan keeping it and want it fixed for good a reball using better solder.

[Goldberg]

Cheers. I might try and palm it off to Game... It's ok for a few mins at a time

[AD]

Towel it if your going to game also dont take it if its flashed, they check.

-=AD=-

[Goldberg]

No flash here. I might towel it now then to see if that fixes it for the moment. Otherwise I cannot watch the game later (Sky Player)

[Goldberg]

Did the towel trick, lasted 20 mins before crashing out again.

How long do Game 'Soak Test' consoles for when trading in??

[maltloaf]

sell it broken, you'll get probably 30ish. you'll get a 10-15 for the pad and 10 for the psu

I'll wager that's not far off what game will give you

[Goldberg]

Your probably right.

I have a 120gb HD too.

I've repaired this problem before, by using the x clamp kit. Still working to this day 18 months later.
