Stuck Choosing Which Xbox Ring of Death Repair is Better?

If you have encountered the dreaded Red Ring of Death then there are two options on fixing it; you could either attempt fixing it yourself, voiding the warranty in the process, or you could send your console to Microsoft to have it repaired. Shipping your console to Microsoft would not only take quite a long time but would also cost over a $100, almost half the price of a brand new Xbox 360. The advantage here is that there is no risk involved and your warranty would not be voided.

The other xbox ring of death repair option would be to fix it yourself. This would not only cost about a fraction of the cost it would take to ship the console to Microsoft, but also the repair could be completed in under 2 hours and thus making it the better option.

One xbox ring of death repair that you could attempt yourself would be the x-clamp modification. This involves replacing the x-clamps holding the heat sinks together, with a set of washers and screws. But the x-clamp modification involves tampering with the console’s motherboard and therefore poses a risk on permanently damaging the motherboard. So before taking apart your console, you should consider purchasing an xbox ring of death repair guide that explains the process step by step with instructional videos if possible. The xbox ring of death repair guide would cost only around $30 and some even offer a money back guarantee in case the repair is not successful.

So, unless you are willing to spend around $150 to have your console fixed, it would be a wiser option to fix it yourself spending less than $30 and to have your console in working condition in less than 2 hours

How can I remove the dirty "ring around the washer" residue?

My poor washing machine has a ring of residue near the top of the drum as well as around the spin element. How do I get this gunk off without standing there scrubbing it forever?

Try using a toilet cleaner that removes limescale, just spray it on and leave it a while, the put the machine onto a rinse cycle to clean it out.
