Do you have the red ring of death (RROD) but don't have or don't want to use your warranty? If that's the case, then repairing your Xbox 360 yourself is very feasible option. The Internet has an abundance of repair guides. Youtube in particular has a lot of free information.
What you don't know about Youtube videos is whether the information is reliable or not. You don't know anything at all about the competence of the person who posted the video. It's next to impossible to know who you should be listening to.
There are a number of fixes that are simply bad advice such as the towel fix, which will cause permanent damage to your console. Others simply can't be followed because they're badly produced or leave out too much important detail. Do they include a parts list required for the repair? What about tools?
Are the disassembly and reassembly procedures clearly demonstrated? What about the camera angle? Does his hand or shoulder block your view? If you forgo the free info and buy a repair guide, there are still other concerns to be aware of.
Is the guide a worthless scam or legit? The safest way to proceed is to stick with guides that are well known with plenty of reviews about them. A popular guide will tend to have more information written about them.
The important criteria is that they have an iron clad guaranty. How can you be assured that the guaranty is for real? The answer is to only buy guides that are sold through a well established third party that enforces the guaranty.
