Tools for the Xbox

According to a September 2009 article from GameSpot, the Xbox gaming system has a significantly higher failure rate than other gaming consoles. If you have an Xbox under warranty that is in need of repair, you may want to send it to the manufacturer for repair. However, if you have a gaming console that is no longer under warranty and you have the skills and expertise necessary to make repairs on your own, there are several tools on the market to help you get into the system and make the needed repairs.
  1. 3 Red Light X-Clamp Fix

    • For Xbox users whose console has overheated and now have the three-red-light error appearing, there is a tool kit available to repair the problem. The kit can be found through online sources and comes with X-clamp hardware to fix both the CPU and GPU processors, as well as an Arctic Silver ArctiClean heat sink paste cleaner/remover, an opening tool to get into the console, and a T8/T10 combination L-key tool that is similar to a wrench. These tools along with the instruction guide will provide you with everything that is needed to fix your three light error within an hour's time.

    Tamper Resistant Torx Screwdriver

    • If you are looking for a tool to aid you in the repair of your Xbox wireless controller, then you will need the tamper-resistant Torx screwdriver. This screwdriver is made specifically for making repairs on the Xbox wireless controller. It is made of chrome steel, so that it does not rust and will resist stripping. It is also designed in a small form to make working in small spaces easier. On the tip of the Torx screwdriver, you will find a small hole that is used to bypass tamper-resistant screws on the Xbox wireless controllers. This tool has also been designed to last a lifetime.

    Repair/Unlock Opening Tools for Xbox 360

    • On the market, you will find unlock opening tools made specifically for repairs on the Xbox 360. This tool is made of metal and is approximately 135 by 35 mm and is shipped in an antistatic bag. It is used by electronic game repairmen to open up the Xbox 360 case and remove it. The tool comes with an online instruction guide with step-by-step instructions on taking the Xbox 360 case apart. This tool is used in place of a standard screwdriver and is specifically made as an opening tool for the Xbox 360.
