I have a xbox 360 elite i need to know how to take care of it?

Question

im one of those people that like to keep it clean so it last longer i just need to know how to keep it new thank's.

Answer 1

keep dust from collection on the air vents, and don't smoke around it.

Other than that ensure it has adequate air flow.

Answer 2

i would definitely recommend get a intercooler for it, they run about 20 bucks and they basically have a couple fans that cool your system down while playing it. i play for hours at a time so i got one and i havent had any problems, before i got it was playing gears of war and it was freezing up a tad here and there, bc i was playing for like 6 hours.. so definitely get an intercooler. you can buy them at eb games, gamestop, best buy.. places like that. :)

Answer 3

enjoy it while you can. xboxs tend to crash within a year whether you take good care of them or not

Answer 4

Well, the best thing to do so it does not get damaged is: have it on it's side instead of rightside up, have it in an open space, don't use an xbox 360 fan, and never leave the game disc in or the system running.

Answer 5

1. keep your 360 on a well ventilated area and off the ground. so keep your 360 on a chair away from walls.

2. keep the power brick in a well ventalated area also. keep it on a chair do not leave on the ground!

3. take out your disc when you stop playing. it might help you never know right?

4. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE MOVE THE 360 WHILE PLAYING. if you move your 360 while yur disk is inside it, it will DESTROY your disk im not kidding here.

5. get the pelican cooler not a different brand only the pelican other coolers suck!

6. make sure its on all four legs dont keep it up right, it will be more balanced on all 4 legs.

thats about it have fun with your 360!

Answer 6

just dont mess with it..dont put it on a carpet either or else it will suck up all the fibers into fan and it will mess it up on the inside..clean the sides with a wet rag if it gets dusty..

Answer 7

Well I am like that too I just when im not using it I place a towel or something over it so it wont collecr dust keep it off the floor too. And not in a closed space becasue the heat sinks are real bad on the systems and u might get the ring of death. Just make sure u keep it secure and when not playin place something over it to protect dust.

Answer 8

get an intercooler. you might have to cut off your playing time to a couple hours a day so it doesnt overheat.

maybe after a couple of months you could take off the outer case (easily removed), clean out all the dust it has attracted. just be careful you dont distort your 360.

if you start getting a disk error warning, you might need to buy a cleaner for the disk read. that happened with mine before. i dont suggest blowing in it because although it gets whatever gunk in the way away from the disk read, it is still in there.
