Xbox 360, the value of maintenance
Lately, I have seen web and YouTube discussions about Xbox 360 teardown and
maintenance. My Xbox 360 dates from 2008, but early on, there was the red ring of death and it was replaced by Microsoft. Now the DVD drive is a little flaky and needs encouragement to open/close. It operates in a non dusty environment. Sometimes the OS and apps seem a bit flaky. As one on a budget, my questions is this: If I did the tearddown and maintenance, would it last another eight years? I like the fact that Microsoft downloads OS and app updates when needed. But if I neglected the box for a long time, I am sure would not likely get back online. Thanks. |

But if I neglected the box for a long time, I am sure would not likely get back online. I got someone with the Xbox 360 tool to do the work. Now my decade old Xbox 360 should work for another decade. Given advances in software, my Xbox will remain upto date. But it will only work in 1080p, not 4K TV. My 180GB storage drive should work forever unless I abuse it. Other deficits include the controller that consumes batteries. My home network is mostly Windows and now that Windows Homegroup works, the Xbox networks even better. |
