How we repair your Xbox 360
- We check the fault lights and error code, such as E74 or the red ring.
- We open the console and inspect the board, cooling and disc drive.
- We repair the fault and improve cooling where it caused the problem.
- The console is tested with games for an extended period before it goes back.
How long it takes
Most Xbox 360 repairs take one to two days, as each console is tested for longer after the repair. Every repair comes with a 90-day warranty on parts and labour.
Before you bring it in
- Bring the console and its power supply, as a faulty power brick can cause the same symptoms.
- Note the number of red lights or the error code on screen.
- Take out any disc, and please do not open it yourself first.
