Ultimate Xbox 360 XCLAMP Repair Kit - 3 Red Light X-Clamp Fix w/ 3.5g Arctic Silver 5 & Opening Unlock Toolkit

the socket driver is great however the handle is poorly manufactured. there may be some flash left from the injection molding process but that can be easily fixed with a small knife or razor blade... I have since replaced one of the bits with a 3mm hex.the Xbox opening tool would be better made of a stronger metal like maybe stainless. I am constantly having to straighten the long part and wish I could apply a little more force on it while opening the back.arctic silver rocks, the cleaner solution is great and the compound spreads easily and washes off incredibly easy. soap companies could use this product to exagerate how powerful their soaps are in demonstrations.do not follow the instructions to place a metal washer on the screw side, the cheese head screws are too thick for the Xbox case already.better yet, replace the screws all together. you can find button head machine screws which are only 2.75 mm thick instead of 3.5+ (some with a 3mm hex for your socket driver like I got for the little tool set). that additional thickness causes flex in your Xbox motherboard which is as bad for it (if not worse than) the heat problem that plagues xboxes.

Ultimate Xbox 360 XCLAMP Repair Kit - 3 Red Light X-Clamp Fix w/ 3.5g Arctic Silver 5 & Opening Unlock Toolkit came with all the item as shown on amazon.com. I was pleasantly surprize with the screwdriver kit and the set of different heads it came with. It came on time, within the stated delivery date.I got the instructions, a list of websites from the kit. Being new to x-box repair I took my time and manage to take the box apart and clean the heat sink and processors. I wish they had elaborated on spreading the silver over processors and also made a bigger deal on how important the orientation of the heat sinks were.I manage to replace the heat sink over the micro-processor 90 degrees off. This let to two red rings after about of 10 minutes play time. Yes it did work for ten minutes. If you get two rings on the left side after reparing your x-box check the heat sink over the main processor.After correcting this mistake the x-box worked well for an extended period of time, I think it is working.I am very pleased with this kit ---

I recently used this kit to repair my XBOX and would definitely recommend it. The repair did not work first try, but I followed the instructions for "stuck" 360s and was able to get my machine up and running without too much hassle. Including time spent taking apart and putting back together, it took me about an hour and a half. If you have experience building computers the procedure should be a breeze.Regarding the components of the kit, the only part I had issue with was the cleaner. I usually use 100% acetone nail polish remover for cleaning gunked on thermal compound but I was out so I gave this stuff a try. It works, but not nearly as fast and it doesn't evaporate nearly as quickly as acetone. If you're as impatient as I am you may want to do your self a favor and swing by your local grocery store and pick up a bottle, or snag one from Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Super-Nail-Acetone-Polish-Remover/dp/B0034D3HIMThe only items I used which were NOT included in the kit was a screwdriver and cutips for cleaning the CPU/GPU.

Product arrived promptly with no missing pieces. Screw driver was handy in taking the Xbox apart and the interchangeable heads were easy to use. I found the Xbox 360 opening tool to be pretty useless. I just used the included screwdriver and the Xbox opened relatively easily. The "3RedLightFix" web site and instructions weren't too useful even though I would definitely recommend reading through them. I found videos on YouTube to be most helpful with taking the unit apart. I also reviewed the Arctic Silver web site and YouTube for instructions on how to apply the Arctic Silver. I've read different people say they can do the whole taking apart, repair, and reassembly in less than an hour. I had not taken an Xbox apart before and I was very deliberate in my disassembly an reassembling of the Xbox and it took me between 2-3 hours total.Now, what everyone wants to know, did it work? Well, yes, for about 8 hours of use over a week and a half. Then the unit began to have the same distorted image problem it had before I got the RROD the first time. I haven't cut it back on since. I plan to take it apart again and try the repair one more time.I'll try to follow up with an update once this is done, but for now I would give this product a 2 out of 5 stars.
