Loved the "certified technician" achievement

Here's me thinking the Xbox label was meant to be that colour lol.

5:24 underneath the warranty label, there is actually a small hole that, with a small enough tool, you can push to unclip the fourth clip.

Actually, especially now that there has been so much shortages of brand new consoles, it's always good idea to always buy 1-2 generations older consoles. Usually with just bit of cleaning up, they simply work, games won't just magically get worse, everything is so much cheaper and sometimes you can even just mod it to use it for even more stuff than just that consoles games. With 360/PS3 and forward you can also re-use the controllers with PC and android!

Many winters ago I found one tossed in the trash. It was all smashed up but when I finally got it cleaned up it booted... into Diablo III. The disk was stuck inside. I fixed the DVD player with a new belt You have to be careful disassembling it because the plastic gets brittle over the years and I broke a lot of clips. Nice video! (yeah, I played a lot of Diablo after that)

It is a USB connector - that is actually a USB port even. The earliest 360S model just had the actual Xbox 360 USB wireless adapter hidden inside it, without the plastic shell on it.

love the "certified technician" text

If you want to keep making console restoration videos I'll watch everyone, they're so satisfying to watch

i'd recommend taking the case apart and just washing it in the shower with dish soap and a cleaning brush, it's way quicker and works surprisingly well. if there are any stubborn spots that don't come out that way, you can use your citrus cleaner or alcohol afterwards, but it's still much less effort.

Always a pleasure, old boy. For any kind of chrome, even on plastic, you can use metal polish when detergent and alcohol have failed. I use Brasso and it gets a lot of deposits off. It's a pretty fine and delicate abrasive compound.

Actually, I have a 360 slim with the newest firmware and the copyright year is the same. I believe it is the year that the dashboard itself was released, but not the firmware update itself.

I love your sunday videos hugh, It makes my week

I can’t believe how high quality and enjoyable your videos are so high quality even 15 year old me who has never opened a 360, opened up my console for the first time and cleaned it and got rid of dust off of every part even cleaned the cpu and add fresh thermal paste and put it all back together with only this video thanks so much 👍

This guy should have 1 million subscribers by now. Keep up the good work

Great video hugh, glad you did another console video this time!

Great work Hugh! What percentage of isopropyl alcohol did you use to clean off the case with? Microsoft really did a great job with the Xbox 360 Slim; they were much less likely to get the RROD then earlier models were.

Great work Hugh. Love your videos and how you care on little details on how to disassemble the device. Question not related to the video: what type of watch you're wearing?

That pull on 4th clip was like "Hugh smash Hulk smash". 😆 great video as always. Keep up Your work dude.

05:25 Coincidentally, I found a discarded a matte black 360 Slim a month or so ago, and I too hated that deviously placed clip So much in fact, that I intentionally broke it off just so I wouldn't have to deal with it again in the future, lol Thankfully it still holds together just fine with only one of them

For $20 AU, and it works, you got a great deal! Thanks for the take apart, cleaning, & reassembly vid, Mr Jeffreys! 🤓

You can explain very well so people will understand

You are very lucky the DVD drive was working fine as they are not a simple process to replace especially on those models.

I cleaned up the same model Xbox years ago and had the same problem with the gloss finish being removed by my cleaner (iso alc in my case). But with light sandpaper you can make the entire plastic have a matte finish and it will look great (similar to the black models). Just leave out the vents with your sanding efforts.

"Achievement Unlocked: Certified Technician" LMAO! One of the funniest things I've ever seen in your videos! I love it.

Just so you know, one of the main features of the 360 S is that it fixed the problems that caused RRoDs. I think there may be a few that got it, but it's not a genuine concern with these models.

This was a much later version less prone to Red ring so no surprise it worked tbf those ones are tanks!

You are a gem to the world.

i had both the gloss black and matte black slim 360 but never seen a slim in white, it sure looks pretty !

5:42 my favorite part

We stepped into TronicsFix territory with this one, but did you use the perfect amount of thermal paste? I hope you watch him to understand the paste comment. Another great video.

Great work

Great video

I would suggest purchasing an x-clamp removal tool, using a screw driver can damage the motherboard if you slip with it. The x-clamp just slips under and pulls it up really simple.

Loved it "certified Technician"🤣

Thank you so much 😊

you can open the shell easier by sticking the metal pry tool down the end and pulling it open on both sides...very easy that way and you won't disrupt the 'warranty lmao' sticker. Also, this box is a prime candidate for RGH 3...you don't need a post fix adapter...but since it's a 4GB Corona you'll need to wire as such to dump and write the NAND....

Excellent.......as ALWAYS.

looking forward to more videogames being restored, nice job

No idea why Microsoft made a slim 360 in white, I thought half the point of the slim is that it's nowhere near as ugly as the phat. Great video.

Form Experience Hugh, I find stripping the console down to a plastic shell makes it easy to just clean with some soapy water and sponge.

That’s the first time ive seen a white version of that model… and man am I in love that looks sick.

5:18 pushing on the warranty seal with 2 fingers while pushing up usually works for me when taking off the top, maybe it will work for you if you ever take apart anymore 360 consoles :)

5:35 you should make a compilation of this kinda stuff happening 🤣🤣

Bro we just disassemble the body and wash it with water and soap every year and our xbox works and looks fantastic. Doing the washing technique since I had the PS2. Good console btw, still refuses to die in 2022

The White 360 Slim was such a sick looking Console!!

5:35 "Certified Technician Moment"

Huge, why didn’t you opened the xbox, remove the trim and cleaned the mold?

Wonderful console love it

Fabulous work just fabulous 👏😎🇮🇪

HINT: To clean off plastic very well from stubborn glue or stains, I use "anti silicone solvent". It's a solvent used mainly in automotive and carpenting, precicely to remove silicone or glue from any surface without damaging them. It works wonder. Dunno how it's called precicely in english tho, anti silicone is the italian name and I can find it easely on Amazon

Hi Hugh. You might want to give Methylated Spirits or Rubbing Alcohol a try for cleaning the stubbornly dirty parts of electronics - they remove most things without damaging the plastic like acetone will. I use methtylated spirits to remove thermal paste and it works really well for that too.

That achievement current me off guard!

You should do the original “phat” PS3 - I have both a PAL & a NTSJ model

I got a Xbox360 s for 7 dollars at a garage sale and it was in way better condition than that, I also got one of the call of duty games as a bonus in the game tray, I’ve had it for about 2 years and it still works amazing

$20 on a used Xbox that it's still working is insane. Especially when I remember the prices people sell their used Xboxes here in Brazil. Electronics are so damn expensive here, y'all have it so easy in other countries..

Another great video.

Looking forward for more consoles.

Nice job spreading that thermal paste.

The Xbox 360 S and E models are probably the most reliable 360s the only thing that really goes wrong with those is the power supply and in the DVD drive, there's little switch that tells when the drive door is shut, it has a tendency to pop out of its clips and some models they use a magnetic switch. The only other major thing you have to worry about is replace the thermal paste.

7:54 Yes, make sure you trap as many air bubbles in there as you can.

You found a legendary game in it mate

Ahhh....old memories once got this same 360s model opened out with lot struggle and cleaned it with new thermal paste ..later jailbroked ,played for a long time, used stealth servers for multiplayer games , later sold it and bought a PS3 done the same for that ps too😅 now gaming pc..

The hands of a surgeon.

i cleaned my laptop yesterday the first time since i got it and oh boy the ammount of plastic clips was truly staggering i didnt have real tools so i had to use finger and of of course i cut my thumb on the plastic that is held in place with way to much force you might as well dont even need to screw the thing in with the ammount of plastic clips i droped an average of about 5C from fan cleanings thou which is nice

you could use light plastic polisher

I Never seen anything but like this one

Hugh I recomend artics mx4 if your planning on getting another thermal paste

You could have cleaned the plastic cover after disassembling. Cleaning the CPU aluminum heatsink would also help in trimming down temps.

I did exactly same as u did last weekend... I bought 360 slim white same as u bought...

You can use tape when you use harder chemicals on the bevels.

5:38 Certified Technician😂😂😂

5:39 🤣🤣😭🤣 achivement unlocked

I had no idea how complex those are!

Quick but cool video

I just came across a satin one for £10 that was on the original Metro dashboard from 2010, it was mint inside but smelled like perfume and looked to have had water damage, it was tested working so i presume the spillage had dried from sitting before i found it so i just had to touch up corrision, lucky i did as it was about to seep under the IHS and take out some resistors as it had gone through the fan grille..same as a broken Xbox one i soaked in contact cleaner and then touched up with IPA, eventually the short in that console dissappeared so for under £50 i have 2 working units!

5:39 ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! Certified Technician

a small pitstop for the dvd drive is missing ;-). some grease and love and there you go.

Would be cool if you made a video on modding this xbox

This model of Xbox is held together by hopes and dreams Back in those these they used to be strong unlike today

Nice job ;)

The older model Xbox 360s are not any better, theres a step where you have to push in tiny tabs on the back and then you pull it apart before the tabs re lock themselves. When I repasted one of those during the disassembly the back cover wouldn't split like it should and I eventually resorted to using brute force just to see if the tabs or the plastic would give out first. On the side with the HDMI the case had no issue coming apart, on the side with the power port instead of the unclipped tabs coming apart the plastic below broke in half with a sizeable chunk attached to the top case. Even reassembly was a mess trying to line those clips up

Can you do more videos about consoles

5:38 achievement unlocked 😂

looks like you got the PERFECT ammount of thermal paste :D

Don’t get me wrong I love my Series X. But the 360 was something else! This era was really something special. I still remember the moment when I played Gears Of War for the first time 😳🤤🙀. Also PGR 3 🏎

When I opened my 360 I undone all the clips but for the sat one the one you can't get to I pushed in From the left side and from the outside on the right side and it worked hope you find this useful

Hey idk if you read comments or not but id be super cool to see some kind of roomba cleaning robot repair like a older model one for cheap or something

I want to cut it ✂️ Seriously the white version of the slim look very nice I love it

Finally sits down to play it Red Ring

I also have 360 slim but it wasnt sitting in shed or somewhere for decade.

5:38 yeet the cover

Likely the prior owner got an XBOX One since they were introduced in 2013. I'm still playing my XBOX 360 until it gets kicked off XBOX Live. XBOX 360 units will be kicked off XBOX Live not long after they remove 360 games in Oct 2022.

Now go ahead and mod the console via RGH3 just for fun. It's very straightforward and only require a raspberry pi pico. This motherboard seems to be a Corona V1, so you won't need a postfix for it. That will be a cool video to see someone without experience doing this mod.

At 5:38 Hugh was like: Oh s*it

I actually enjoy watching people cleaning filthy object very very very much LOL

The thermal paste! TronicsFix has entered the chat and he wants a word.

I found a ps4 on the street , I've done the same as you, replace the thermal paste, now it's working fine.

You doing anymore iPhone vids restoring the 12 or 13 minis?

A link to the site you bought it from would be awesome because I've been looking for a place to buy "junk" electronics to fix for a while

You should have done a before and after temperature test of the CPU. But good and satisfying job anyway!
