Broken Xbox
There is nothing more annoying than having a broken Xbox. I love my game time, and when I sit down and turn on my console, I want instant gratification. So when the screen goes haywire, or an error code pops up on the screen it becomes hard for me to escape from a bad day at work or school.
So if you read the manual you already know what the different combinations of the red rings of death mean. It is also common knowledge that our beloved Xbox does tend to have a few technical problems such as freezing, overheating, scratching the discs, grainy video and so on. The usual way to fix this is to send in your broken Xbox to get it fixed. But what if you want to do more? What if you want to fix your broken Xbox yourself?
Now I come from a background of moderate technical know-how. I used to trouble shoot electronic systems in the military. So for me, if there was a way to fix a reoccurring problem, I would do what it took to fix it myself if possible. This would save me the time it takes to send it off and I would have the gratification of knowing I fixed it and did it right.
The only thing I needed in the military was our technical manuals, some solder, a good eye and a little patience. I have been spotting some self-fix material online and have heard about technical manuals to fix broken Xbox as well. So next time my love-hate relationship goes sour, I might just do some of my own repairs.
