Make Money Repairing Broken Xbox 360's, Really

You may find it hard to believe, but it's true. You won't get rich, but you can earn some extra cash by repairing xbox 360's. You don't have to be an expert in electronics or have a master's degree. Millions of these consoles are experiencing hardware failures due to a faulty cooling system. I found out about this opportunity while shopping for a used system on eBay. I noticed that malfunctioning consoles were selling for more than I expected, especially those with the 3-red-light-error.

I did some research and found out that there is a simple fix that repairs the 3-red-light-error called the x-clamp fix. I experimented with the x-clamp fix with success. I started buying the consoles with the 3-red-light-error for a low price and then selling the repaired consoles at a higher price. I used eBay to buy and sell the consoles. I just made sure I didn't overpay for the broken consoles and used good selling tips for the repaired consoles. I also tweaked the x-clamp fix until I found the best method.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of methods out there, but I recommend the X-clamp fix. There are free videos that you can check out and see if it is something you would be interested in. There are also free step by step instructions available to accompany the videos. Make sure you familiarize yourself with the process before you invest. Also, return will be slow at first. Once you have the method down, you can start increasing your production. You can just offer to fix your friends consoles to avoid the initial investment.

You can access the videos and download the free instructions at http://www.xbox360fixit.com There are also other resources at this website like a listing of error codes and access to other components you may need to fix Xbox 360.

Instead of just being a games machine, your Wii can be a media centre with music downloads, movie downloads, music videos and game downloads.

Once your have a URL browser installed you can use your Wii for surfing the internet. This unlocks not only traditional internet features, but also the ability to join downloads sites that specialize in providing a huge range of download options. There are a number of download options available. Some have free membership but then charged per item purchased. Others have a monthly membership fee - but the best ones have a one time fee and give access to their library of downloads. If the latest game you are searching for is sold out then try a download site. As for some of the old Nintendo Classics the only way to now get them is through such Wii download sites.

Your Wii connects to the internet through an internal wireless connection which operates off your wireless router. You just enter your WAP code and then Wii will do the rest. Obviously download speeds will be affected by the speed of your router. If you have a particularly large movie or game download then setting up the download before you go to bed can be the best bet to ensure your not sitting around for hours for particularly large downloads.

Do you find exercising a boring activity? Do you want to remain fit but are never able to follow the exercise plans strictly? Then Wii fit is what you need. This gaming exercise transforms the boring task of exercising into a fun activity.

Wii fit is basically a video game that is the brainchild of Nintendo for the console of Wii. The concept of this game is based solely upon the exercise activities by using the peripheral of WII Balance Board.

Under this, the board of balance first measures the user's gravitational centre of body along with their weight. The software calculates the index of body mass index depending upon the height of the user. This interesting game consists of about 40 physical activities such as push ups and yoga among others that can be enjoyed immensely by the person. The best part of the game is that players can compare their fitness progress through the channel that gives all the related details on the Wii menu.

Following are some of the advantages that are inherently attached with these gaming exercises:

Simple aerobics: The Wii video game system of Nintendo is simply like aerobics. It's so exciting and can make anyone stand up on their feet for exercising. These gaming exercises are especially beneficial for the obese patients or sedentary individuals/patients as these games will assist them to enhance their stamina. The best thing is that you enjoy along with exercising.

Stability training: These exercises can do wonders for the fitness level of the user. The fact of the matter is that these exercises can let them maintain their balance without using cane or walker. The arms movement in the multiple planes will also help them to test their balance at different postures.

Core strength: These sport games are well known for their fun factor and are a big hit among users for their benefit of increasing the core strength. The physical movement that is done through exercises substantially increases the core stability of a person.

Strength training: Through these physical work outs, one can hope to build strong muscles. This all can be done in the fun filled environment.

Balance: The amazing Wii fit will make exercise an important part of your lifestyle where the peripheral board of balance is the main attraction. With the board playing the role of a scale, force plate and BMI reader, one can also get the idea of even small variations in terms of stability and can be alerted instantly of any changes taking place in their fitness levels.

Exercise plan: The Wii fit is programmed to keep a record of all your exercise plans including yoga and Pilate's program by displaying them in technical clips along with the onscreen cues. It also helps to keep you aware of your entire exercise regime and put focus on those areas of the body that need maximum attention. So, in short it can be said it acts like a professional trainer who can help you to stay fit and remain in shape.
