3.0 out of 5 stars It worked but you need patience and more then what is pictured here..., April 5, 2009

This review is from: Xbox 360 XCLAMP Repair Kit - 3 Red Light X-Clamp Fix w/ Official Opening Unlock Tool (Video Game)
Several months ago my XBox 360 got the dreaded 'red rings of death' but unfortunately it was outside the 3 year warranty period so I bought this kit in hopes to salvage it. First let me start of by saying that this kit DID help to fix my XBox (at least for the time being.) However I certainly wouldn't say the process was easy. Foremost, the "official opening unlock tool" is worthless in my opinion. I used the tool exactly as described in the guide to remove the XBox casing and the tool bent and almost broke so I had to resort to a small screwdriver for the rest of the repair. The two small bottles of 'cleaner' and 'purifier' did absolutely nothing in regards to removing the old thermal paste from the XBox's heatsinks, like they were intended to. I had to go and get Glue Be Gone which worked perfectly. And finally, I consider myself to be relatively knowledgeable in the tech field but I found the online guide (which consists of pictures and instructions, no video) to be confusing at times and it did not fully explain whole steps. For example when it came to removing the old thermal paste and applying the new paste (a crucial, if not the most important step) it was not pictured and the guide casually refers to what you're supposed to clean off however since there was no diagram that labeled the inner parts of the XBox, I was lost. I used supplemental information the whole time from youtube and other websites when I got stuck. So all in all I think this kit is well worth the price if you are in the same predicament as I was. Just don't expect the clearest directions or the best equipment (like I said, if you do purchase this, get some Glue Be Gone, and scrap the 'official opening unlock tool for a very small screwdriver.)Hope this helps.

1.0 out of 5 stars Will see how this goes...., October 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Xbox 360 XCLAMP Repair Kit - 3 Red Light X-Clamp Fix w/ Official Opening Unlock Tool (Video Game)
EDIT: When I first got the kit the website was down and I couldn't download the instructions so I thought it was a dud and gave it 1 star. Since then the website came back up and I have been able to fix two of my Xbox360s. I now give the kit 4 stars.

So far I ordered two of these kits (yes I was a dummy and bought another Xbox360 after the first one broke down) and both worked. I fixed my own and the other for my son so now he has an Xbox360 too. This kit is relatively simple to use if you follow the instructions which you will have to download from a website that is listed on a piece of paper with the kit. The first time it took me about two hours because I didn't know how to open the Xbox360 up but after getting the disassembly and re-assembly process down I can do a repair in 30 - 45 mins.

A word of advice. Make sure you follow the instructions to the letter and use tape to hold the screws in place on the circuit board. If you did it the way I did, you will have to hold the circuit board face up (normal way) with the tape holding the screws in place and take the tape off carefully as you screw them back into the heat sink when you carefully place it on top of them. Otherwise the washers will come lose and go all over the place. You'll find out what I'm talking about when you get there. Another good thing about this kit is you do NOT have to drill any holes to fix the unit.

On one of my Xboxes the power button was stuck when I put the faceplate back on. At first I kept disassembling the unit thinking I hadn't put it back together correctly but then figured out that the plastic "springs" on the power button were warped and were pushing the button against the switch inside so that it was stuck when I put the faceplate back on. It also wouldn't let the unit power on (even though you could take the faceplate off and push in on the switch and it would work) so I did one simple thing that fixed it. I took the faceplate off and used a hair dryer and heated the plastic springs up real good then pushed down on the button and springs until they laid flat and back in their original position. The "springs" were then flat again (before they were sort of a little curved and warped looking). I put the faceplate back on and "voila"; it fired right up! I thought I'd put this last little tidbit in in case someone else ran across the same problem.

1.0 out of 5 stars RROD came back after 3 days., March 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Xbox 360 XCLAMP Repair Kit - 3 Red Light X-Clamp Fix w/ Official Opening Unlock Tool (Video Game)
This kit worked and fixed my 360 but after 3 short gaming sessions RROD came back.I would recommend going with a more comprehensive kit that come with heat sinks, smaller head screws and a resealable package of thermal paste in case you have a "do-over" like me. I wonder how many other people wrote a good review of this kit after it was initially fixed only to later have RROD return. Opening up a 360 is a major pain in the ass and something you only want to do once. So get the best kit you can find. This is not it.
