I was on hols last week so missed so this, but Charles Arthur has been tinkering with the innards of his broken Wii.
Having bought a three-headed screwdriver online to defeat Nintendo's three-headed screws - which it uses to flummox would-be DIY repairers - and with the help of an online pictorial, I was soon gazing at the innards... and trying to work out what, and where, the rattle was.While the problem with the Wii was easily solved the wider unreliability issues surrounding the good ol' 360 remain a mystery. When my initial 360 died it went very quickly, but anecdotally I've heard of others which have suffered a slow stuttering death over a few weeks. As Charles reports, there is still no word on what the exact problem is. And while my second 360 has been going strong for a year it will be interesting to see if the 360 Elite - out this Friday - is more reliable. For the sake of cack-handed DIYers like me, I hope so.
