Fixing a BROKEN Microsoft XBOX 360 Slim

[@kazinwho]

I got into modding consoles by fixing old broken ones too - my childhood gameboy suffered from pretty bad battery corrosion, but I was able to fix it after watching some YT videos, which then led me to seeing how relatively easy modding was, and here I am, thousands of dollars later lol. Great video as always, Tito!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thanks buddy! We gotta stretch that dollar as much as we can. This hobby can get expensive if we don’t 😅 cheers buddy!!

[@KennytheHedgehog619]

wow this is perfect, ive been finding these discarded 360 Slims at a local record shop for less than $10, and they are all very similar to this one. just needs a bit of love and most of them will work!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Nice dude! Yeah they’re pretty robust machines, I’m sure you could fix them up nice

[@semdonk6593]

I'm about to try this in a couple weeks saw one for around $5 where it only doesn't read disks

[@Null_Experis]

There exists insulation foam tape for insulating doors and whatnot at any home improvement store. Should work fine for this. Just measure your width and foam depth and buy a roll of it.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Yeah, I thought about doing that. I’ll need to get some thing foam

[@lordeilluminati]

4:14 an easy way to access this tab is removing the sticker. It has a hole near the Dolby Digital logo, just put something like a paper clip and it releases the latch. Doing as shown works too but it can scratch the plastic

[@devilinthewoods3809]

You don't even need to take the sticker off. The pin hole is small enough that you can poke through it without it being very noticable.

[@BartenderAtLarge]

Thank you so much for the shout out! Lots of love from our channel to yours!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Absolutely brother! I should be thanking you though 🙏😁! Cheers buddy!!

[@GenesHand]

Man I did this like two months ago and I really struggled with those tabs on the back lol I wish I had waited for this. Great video as always, I'd love to see a RGH vid in the future or a PS3 Slim restoration.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you! Ill have to go an rgb for sure 👍

[@bstar777777]

Very timely, I just acquired one of these slim consoles. Very nice that I don't have to go searching for a good tear down video.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I hope it helps you 👍

[@natethebad]

It was really satisfying to watch you clean and patch up this 360, and was a good reminder for me to give some love to my older consoles as well. Thanks for another great video, even if I was a little sad that you didn't say T 10 Torx screw another fifteen times during reassembly! 😂

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you Nathan! Haha, yeah there are certainly a lot of t10 torx screws on the console 😅

[@jessragan6714]

Hey. Just be glad he didn't say Torx SECURITY screws. The PS3 Slim has those and they're a right pain in the tuchus.

[@RegalPixelKing]

There is something therapeutic about watching you disassemble, clean, and reassemble the 360 back to working condition.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Disassembling, cleaning and repairing consoles is super satisfying. Totally agree!

[@Antzmacadamia]

Great video Tito. Brings back memories of the 3 xbox 360s i went through with RRoD. Sadly they are deep in my family garage 9000km away. I am trying to gift them to a friend who will do a restoration and repair. Long live the 360. Please do a 360 controller repair and upgrade in future videos.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I’ll definitely have to look into doing some controller repair videos for sure since those tend to fail often 👍

[@Xalusc]

Found the video and the channel out today, because KZbin recommended this one to me. Great video, subscribed. Though I have to disagree when you say "a 360 without a disc tray may as well be a massive paperweight" lol

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you so much 🙏 I hope you enjoy some of my other videos 😁

RGH mod next? You don't need a glitch chip anymore, just a raspberry pi pico to overwrite de nand (some models) and a postfix (some models)

[@MachoNachoProductions]

We’ll have to see 😉

[@emily_embers]

I've repaired a bunch of 360's myself - That drive belt is bad. They go bad very quickly as rubber likes to age poorly and stretch and weaken. You lubricating the drive basically just made it easier for the motor to drive it, allowing it to work again. Don't get me wrong, still a fix, but just a less permanent one. By the way, super bad jeebies for closing the case before testing it.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I’m a gambling man 😅

[@ryanpoling3145]

Kameo is also a really neat 360 exclusive.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Awesome, thank you for the recommendation!

[@truecauseofchaos]

I own a Japanese X360 launch model, and I bought a PAL version of the slim (looked exactly like this one) to play games that were locked to the PAL region. Many of the X360 games were region free so I survived on my Japanese console. But Gears of War 3 was locked so bought my slim to play that. Unfortunately I was burgled and they took the slim console, but left the older fat console which I still have to this day. Had to disassemble it a couple of years ago due to the same issue - the drive didn't eject. Turned out to be the rubber eject belt that needed boiling and the drive itself needed cleaning (especially where the belt touched; it gets dusty and oily over time). Enjoyed the video!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Dude, sorry to hear about your slim, but glad you were able to fix your other one. Happy you enjoyed the video buddy 🙏

[@truecauseofchaos]

@@MachoNachoProductions Cheers fella!

[@stephenshelottiii3272]

Great video! I have a 360 Slim that quit connecting to controllers. I also have one with a stuck disk tray. Looks like it’s time to tear them down and do a refurb. I can see you take your time and do it the right way. So I will be following this video to tear them down.

[@mrbedford]

Good video, I do what you do and look for broken consoles, mainly when the disc drives don't work as that's the easiest fix for me at the moment as I learn more and more. Plus if something has a USB port or memory card slot, you can pretty much make anything work again one way or another.

[@mikeyp4690]

Just so you're aware. There's a pin sized hole under the sticker below the warranty seal. Unlocks the tab much easier than trying to pry it with a spludger 👍.

[@johnnyreiling]

[@bp059]

whether it needs it or not, i ALWAYS replace that rubberband for the disc drive

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I thought about doing it. I’ll probably order one from console5. Always good to have some on hand

[@Thee_Dr_Evil]

One of the things you can do with a finicky DVD is to remove the belt and boil it for a couple of minutes keeping it off the bottom of the pan, this restores some of the elasticity so that it doesn't slip, or you can simply find replacements as the belt is often time one of the biggest issues with these. I RGH'd 2 then converted to RGH 3 on mine. I put a 2 TB drive in it and no longer have to switch disks and since I don't play it online as I have a Series X for that it makes for a better experience.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Yes! Thank you for mentioning that. It can be a great solution if you can’t get a replacement

[@77MyEsha]

I have a similar interest in fixing things like you. have you ever done any video tutorials on fixing broken PS Vitas?

Great video. One bummer with those 3rd party hard drives is they don’t support backwards compatibility. I learned that the hard way. If you’re looking for great 360 games, I’d suggest Prince of Persia and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Neither are available on new gen consoles and they’re really great.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Oh man that stinks. Is it not backwards compatible with older 360 models? Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll definitely have to look into them!

[@ScottBaker38]

@@MachoNachoProductions Sorry, what I mean is that you can’t play original Xbox games on the 360 unless you are using an official Microsoft hard drive. I don’t understand why, and there’s probably an exploit to fix that, but it’s annoying.

@@ScottBaker38 it's as easy as connecting it to a computer, running FATXplorer, and rebuilding the compatibility partition.

why not RGH3 your xbox 360? you can use hacked BC files that can play more OG xbox games than official ones from microsoft. loading them from the HDD is also better and faster as well.

I just picked up a 360 slim off of eBay. I think it's in a good spot, price wise, for somebody looking to buy. I saw a bunch of examples that people weren't even bidding on and was able to grab a 256gb Holiday Bundle model with 12 games and 2 controllers for $39 + shipping. Yeah I couldn't believe it either especially as it was verified working. I would like to clean and re-paste it, though since it is getting on for a decade old. I think I need to get myself one of those metal spudgers first though.

[@Kamodomon]

When you put the heatsink block back onto the CPU and I saw the copper bit, I had thought you put it back on upside down. WAs very confused until I went back and realized that it was suppose to be that way. So used to the copper being placed on top of the CPU, lol

You don't actually need foam to completely surround the fan. Some revisions only use three rectangular pieces of foam (about 1/2 inch long) to dampen the vibration of the shroud.

[@alaricjeard269]

I found my 360 in a recycling center. It was dusty, missing the face plate and was smelling cat pee. It was dusgusting, but after a good cleaning, working absolutely fine! And i love playing Forza motorsport 4 on it! Mutch better than Gran Turismo imo...

[@surfyogi]

Just trying to remember how to get it apart and looking at it with my wife while she held a flashlight, I pried the case apart (took 4 hands) she was amazed i can do this, but I have done it once before on another console. Of course I had completely forgotten every detail, forgotten I had even needed to do it in the first place, just another gizmo that stopped working I can easily fix with small dose of TLC. I am sure that MS makes these consoles INTENTIONALLY difficult to open. Simple maint and repairs are a huge money maker for them; and always upselling the latest console, they would rather you throw away your old ones!

[@brandonlee7382]

Its like a brand new xbox 360! Only things I've taken apart is Xbox controllers. When i have time ill try this. My Xbox 360 is fine but i did get it second hand and i bet it would love some thermal paste. Thank you for this video! KZbin and people like you are amazingly helpful!

[@shanez1215]

I hate that hidden tab. Apparently you can stick a pin through a part of the sticker to get it open. For my personal consoles I just bend the tab back so it doesn't latch when I close it up cause it's such a pain. Btw, one of the long black T10 screws holding the metal cage on may or may not be under a sticker. Most of the time it is. Also there's an X Clamp removal tool available on Weekend Modder that makes the process much safer and easier. It also puts all of the pressure on the heatsink and X Clamp instead of the board when reattaching the clamp. I strongly recommend it because it's easy for the screwdrover to slip out of place and gouge the PCB when removing or to bend the PCB when reattaching. 360's have pretty thin and flexible PCB's so you do not want to bend it. Also, when screwing the two screws by the power plug, make very sure not to overtighten them as that can flex the board. Some people have fixed E82 just by loosening those screws. That foam gasket is annoying but when finding a replacement you don't need one that goes all the way around. "Trinity" consoles have one that goes all the way around and Corona ones have just 4 foam points. It's more for vibration than it is for sealing. You can probably get away with cutting some standard form to make a few foam squares and then supergluing them into the fan shroud. Wow that 303 Aerosol really does the trick. Damn I'm gonna pick some up myself

[@MachoNachoProductions]

That’s good to know. I may just get some foam tabs for the fan shroud. Also, thank you for all the other tips and tricks 👍 Cheers!

Will definitely look into that, thanks for the tip 👍

The only issue with those third party hard drives is that you can't use OG Xbox backward compatibility with them. Like I think the ones sold on the store work, but you can't use your discs. It has something to do with the partitioning. But if you don't care about that, then they're a great option. Far better on a cost:storage ratio stand point than the official drives.

Man, that’s kind of a bummer. I didn’t know that 😔

[@zingbanana]

are you planning on revisiting the original 360 versions? i'd love to know about replacing the stock fans with something quieter, or maybe even if it's possible to upgrade the disc drive to something that is better and quieter, stuff like that. great video!

[@patrickworking3065]

Great guide! One suggestion that I'm sure you did, but didn't mention on the video, is to check for leaky or bulged caps.

Good job tito... you're great at helping others

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you! I really hope so 🙏☺️

[@devilscore2350]

wait...Shouldnt that round cooper spot touch some sort of procesing unit and not be fliped over facing fans downward air stream?

[@MachoNachoProductions]

There’s a round copper surface on both sides of the heat sink

I like to slice that disk foam gasket with a razor blade right on the seam so you don’t have to remove and reapply it when opening up the drive.
