So I recently acquired a x box 360 for free from my brother. It overheats (my wild ass guess) after about 15-20 minutes and turns off.

You guys know of any local shops that can take a look at it and get it going for me? My girls friends fiancee is supposedly pretty nifty with shit like this but he's my last resort. Everytine I see the dude I wanna punch him in the mouth.

 

not sure exactly where you are but i know people always tried to bring them into Gamestop and coworkers always talked about bringing their stuff to this place:

Thanks I know exactly where that is. I've gotten something from there before and forgot about the place. Im in king william. Forgot my profile still said hooverville.

 

If you can confirm that it's the legit Overheating RRoD code, I can fix it for about $20. I've fixed a few already in the past 2-3 years. The only ones that couldn't be fixed had multiple problems. Not sure how much shops charge. I don't own a business, but I'll give you a 3-month/money-back warantee. Let me know.

 

Im not 100% sure that's what it is. From what my brother told me he found online that seems to be the problem. Ill fuck with it a little in the morning and see what I can come up with. Is there anything I can do to trouble shoot it to make it a little easier?

 

The best way to do so, is to get the codes by holding the "Sync" and "Eject" buttons as soon as you start the console.

Or just take a look at this here:
