Getting Out Of Debt

If you are like me then you'd rather perform an Xbox 360 self repair than having to send it away to Microsoft and wait ages on top of paying expensive prices to get it fixed.

One of the main reasons that this console has problems is down to overheating!

Inside the console is the same components as PC so no wonder it gets overheated easy. Looked at the size of a PC compared the Xbox system. So how can you perform an Xbox 360 self repair to combat the 3 red lights problem due to overheating?

Here are a few tips to prevent overheating:

My girlfriend used to make me keep my console all neat and tidy in a cabinet so if that happens to you tell her you need to take it out of it's "neat home". Your console system cannot get rid of the hot air if its in a small enclosed area so it's best to keep it out of any cabinets.

Another tip is to keep the power brick off the floor. It has a fan that gets rid of hot air from all sides so if you put the power brick on an open box it can do this more effectively and you'll decrease the chance of your Xbox 360 freezing due to overheating problems!

There are a few techniques circulating on the internet that tell you how to overcome Xbox problems and technical issues but most of they provide a temporary fix for a week or so and then the problem comes back.

If you're looking for an xbox 360 self repair guide then you can't go wrong with the video guide I used. I've provided a review for you here. It's so much better than trying to learn by reading a book!

Designing solid industrial computing solutions is one thing, but you have to keep in mind that industrial computers will have to meet strict standards to be allowed to be put on the market and sold. They would be covered by areas related to safety and electromagnetic compatibility but also get the CE mark if the product is going to be sold on the European market as well.

Usually, when people design industrial computing systems, they would use a single board computer solution because it will usually offer greater repeatability than any other. These products though have a much more resourceful variety of options and are revision controlled with a longer life cycle than motherboards. So as a matter of fact, spares requirements are calculated to bear the product over its desired life cycle for projects that are requiring repeatability in excess of usually five years.

Industrial computers and computing devices are mainly made for a continuous use, and as a result sometimes a redundant PSU unit is necessary to make sure the computer and what is inside will cope perfectly with being used on a 24/7 basis. When a part of the computer becomes flawed, an audible and visual alarm will indicate that there is a problem and will say what needs to be replaced in the computer.

Industrial LCD monitors like industrial LCD displays and LCD touch screens also need to be tested as they will also have to face a tough environment and use all the time.

Obviously, once all the components are assembled to make a prototype unit, tests need to be carried out to make absolutely sure that the device will get the CE Mark that is vital for its future. Those tests take usually quite some time to be done but they need to be done in order to insure a good quality.

The first real aim of the CE Mark and related product evaluation is to supply the customer and enforcement bodies with the confirmation that the devices are absolutely conform to the necessary requirements and are safe to use.

Being used on an industrial environment, those devices will have to be tested as well for shock and vibration. Those tests are carried out on the range of products recommended for use in applications under extreme ambient conditions. The product is then manufactured as soon as it has successfully passed all those very demanding tests.
