 GREAT FIX!!!!Feb 16, 2010
worked great as long as you follow the directions, had my xbox 360 working in about 20 mins and still no problems
 WorthlessFeb 10, 2010
The screws are too short to go through the motherboard and more than 1 washers on each side.... so its totally worthless since every guide suggests more than 2 washers.
great itemJan 28, 2010
overall i was very impressed and happy with this product, it came sooner than expected, worked great, and even came with thermal paste that isnt even shown in the picture provided.....5 stars (especially for the price i paid!)
simple, easy, and effectiveJan 17, 2010
I had my xbox for about 3 years before getting the red rings of death (RROD). I found local shops offering to fix my xbox for $80 or more. I read a few diy instructions online even specifying the size of screws, but i could not find the sizes and home depot or lowes. I saw this kit and figured I would give it a try. The hardware came in a mini-ziplock inside a bubble wrap envelope. The correct number of screws were there, but two extra washers were included I ( I guess just in case you drop or loose one). The kit came with a little piece of paper pointing me to repair guides, disassembly guides, email address for support etc. I followed the instructions to install the hardware and did the initial 'bake' of the xbox. After the instructed re-tightening of the screws and a full cool-down, no more RROD. I put everything together and played for a couple of hours with no problems.
So, in summary, this kit worked fine for me with no problems. I am very satisfied with the cost, delivery, and performance of the kit.

Tedious the First Time -- Simple DIY JobJan 10, 2010
I have a "tampered" Xbox 360 (or two) according to Microsoft. That's fine, I got to leave the CS agent a piece of my mind when she informed of this, so I had a little fun with the news. I decided to purchase a kit to repair it myself rather than trying to track down the hardware needed from a Lowe's or Home Depot on my own. I figure at $5 convenience alone made it worth it. However, I have a buddy who also has a "tampered" 360, who did not get a kit. We got together tonight and decided to tackle our two RRoD boxes. We took a washer and a screw to Lowe's and tried our best to replicate what is in this kit. We actually had pretty good luck. We found the nylon washers first, a little different but pretty close to what's supplied. Next we found the screws. We were only able to locate flat or hex head but either one would have worked fine, we went with the flat (Phillips style is supplied in the this kit). The threads were perfect and the length was exact. We did have a hard time finding metal washers. We found where they would be in the drawer but their compartment was empty. We settled on a little larger washer that caused some trouble but we were able to work around. The total costs of his supplies for the job was about $8 while gathering everything from Lowe's. He got just the amount of nylon washers and screws but had to settle on a 100 pack of metal washers. Further proof the price is right for this kit as it cut out a lot of the tracking down hardware headaches. We also had a tube of Arctic Silver 5 and the ArctiClean two part cleaner. The Arctic Silver is essential to the job, don't use the white paste they send you. Spend a few extra bucks and get the best if you're going through all this trouble. We did the work at the same time very slowly and methodically. We both could do the repair pretty quickly now (less than 30 minutes total). His Xbox was fixed after we tightened everything up. He had an unrelated DVD drive problem (his Xbox has been sitting in the closet for a couple of years) but we fixed it too. My Xbox on the other hand continued to red ring after the initial bake period. I was pretty bummed while he was over there putting together his resurrected console. I decided to stick a piece of paper to block off the airflow for the GPU duct but left the CPU duct/fan clear. I let it bake for 15 minutes and then turned it off to cool. It was off for about 5 to 10 minutes and when I powered it back on no more red lights! We played a game of FIFA 10 and a couple NHL 10 games and it's working perfectly. I hope the fix lasts. I really feel a lot better about my craftsmanship than what I did with what I found when I disassembled it. I am tempted to get another kit and change out my launch (also "tampered") console, although it works fine. We were happy to see this kit did not need any modifications to the case or board. I'd read other guides that had holes being drilled out to make for bigger screws. We didn't have any of that. Open the case, remove the board, pop the clamps off, clean the dye and heat sinks, apply thermal compound, attach sinks, run for a few minutes, tighten bolts, and reassemble. It really is a simple process once you go through the steps your first time.
