Estimates vary as to the exact rate of failure of the Xbox 360, but it is certainly at an unacceptable level. It was reported that some repair centers based in the UK are now turning them as they can no longer cope with demand. There are also unconfirmed reports that machines are sent abroad for repair. This led to delays and frustration for end users.
Why do we put up with it? If you bought a kettle and it did not boil water, you take it back and demand a refund. Yet when it comes to computers, software and the like, there is a tradition dating from the early years, that we accept problems. It may be bugs, it may not do what he is supposed to do, and we may have to struggle for hours to get to achieve but we have just done.
Maybe a few years ago, he was a macho element to it. We have been pioneers in the new world of computing. If there was a problem, you ran not complain to your mother, you are under the hood and fixed it or worked around it. We used to try to make each other with the size of problems that we had to overcome. It was a badge of honor. We laughed because we had spent a lot of money on something that did not work.
But should not things have changed now? We are talking about a piece of electronics general public, a game, not a good market for this. Is it not reasonable to expect it to work? If it fails due to a manufacturing defect, you should be able to get a replacement unit or your money within a reasonable time. The problem was said today, as early machines, just out of warranty, begin to fail.
The answer is that the Microsoft Xbox is a complex product with many components and there are many things that can go wrong. A Microsoft statement said: "There is no single cause or issue systems with one of the Xbox 360. "Is not that they fail one question?" I would say that Microsoft dodging the issue. They should be accepting responsibility and making every effort to resolve this problem.
Meanwhile, what can we do to ourselves? Instead of spending money and accepting delays, which goes back to old times and to exit the Toolkit. One UK repairer that is still providing repairs reports only 70% success. Yet, many problems are easily treated. Dry joints between the main Xbox components, the CPU and GPU and the motherboard are a major cause of failure. After long periods of play, expansion due to overheating causes these electrical connections to fail.
Some people have tried to overcome this problem in what is known within the scope of towels. It is the unit of envelopment in a towel and leave on for a while. This causes extreme overheating which may be sufficient to melt a little solder and remake the connection. Well that may work in the short term, the end result will be the destruction of some of the delicate electronics and the death of your Xbox.
But if you are willing to take the lid of your Xbox and wield a soldering iron, you could save money, time and frustration. You can even boast to your friends how you overcame the beast. With a little guidance, you can have your Xbox up and running in less than an hour. You might end up being the go to Guy for Xbox repairs in your area.
