What could be more relaxing than coming home from a stressful day at the office to hours of playing your favorite video game? It can be a stress reliever, much in the same way as an evening walk works for others. But that doesn’t mean these entertainment devices are perfect. They can break down, depending on how much you use them. So, when you start getting error messages or start experiencing problems while you’re playing your favorite game, what can you do to fix it? The costly way is to buy a new Xbox, but who has the extra money for that? The other way is to have the gaming device repaired.

Still, you have a couple of options. You can send your Xbox in for repairs, but that may cost lots of money and you’ll more than likely be without your stress-reliever for a long time. Then again, the problem may be covered under a warranty, so why not let the professionals handle it? Or you can try and repair it yourself. Making the repairs isn’t child’s play, but it’s not rocket science either.  All you need is some advice and a good tutorial on how to fix your Xbox from the repair gurus at Repairs Universe.

Don’t be afraid to fix your own Xbox, especially if you know the knowledgeable staff at Repairs Universe has got your back. They can tell you what to do from the first step to the last, even if you have the Red Ring of Death. You can also find the Xbox parts to fix whatever is ailing your console.

Once you get the parts, make sure your Xbox is unplugged completely. Remove every single cord and the hard drive from the slot before taking off the console’s case. Don’t forget to keep all of the screws in piles according to their size to make it easier to locate them when you put the console back together. You may even want to use Post-it notes to keep everything organized. You may also want to document the steps you take throughout this process so it’ll be a snap when you put it back together.

Next, take off the console’s metal bracketing so you can pull on the motherboard. Once the motherboard’s pulled, place it to the side. Remove the screws from the two metal brackets that are X-shaped. All you may need to do is add space between the brackets and the motherboard because a common problem with the Xbox is overheating. Put up to three washers on top of each other and replace the metal brackets and the rest of the parts you removed from the Xbox. Plug it in and power up. That should fix the problem. If not, make sure to contact RepairsUniverse.com to find other possible fixes.

Fixing your Xbox is not the hardest thing to do, especially if you have some support. There is lots of information on the Web but everything you need can be found at RepairsUniverse.com, whether you need parts or advice. You can save a lot of time, money, and frustration by fixing your Xbox yourself.
