4th and final part in my 'fixing faulty Ebay junk' series where I document my attempt at fixing a RROD Xbox 360. In this update I breifly explain some of the options available for fixing the RROD and give my opinion on the subject. I completely rebuild the console and start the process of stress testing before finally reselling.

Microsoft's cooling system in the original 360 was really badly designed and is very inefficient. The fan shroud mod is a simple way to help direct and increase airflow over the GPU heatsink. I can't find the original tutorial by the guy who originally came up with the idea but doing a quick google search I found this pretty good one...

It's not going to undo Microsoft's design flaws but it will help :P

This is the final part to the 360 series but I have more consoles on the way. Next up I have a Nintendo DS which is refusing to play games. I hope to do more of these videos over the coming weeks.

Thanks for watching!
