It's in where the Atari shooting game used to be. Beside where the cinema was, and in between the doctors and the Chilly ice cream place. Join them on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/TechProsIreland and tell them Gareth told you about the shop, then ask for a €5 discount for being a Facebook friend and they will give it to you.

Jus curious,do you work here? I mean,do they 100% fix them? I am just wondering wheter or not to bring the xbox to work with me and drop it in after or wait until they are open to ring them and see whats up.Or maybe if i was to get a technical explanation off someone from xbox or wherever and got the lads at TechPro to have a look seen as the insides of a pc and xbox are pretty much the same or will they know whats wrong as soon as they plug it in? Thanks again

I do, I work with laptops and computers though and do a bit of work with the website/facebook and the Tallaght Directory, dont have a clue about xboxes or ps3. If you want to talk to someone that deals with xboxes come in or call on a weekday between 10 and 6 the staff that repair xboxes don't work outside these hours.

They fix them the same way microsoft do with the same tools. They should know the problem from the lights and error code. They won't open the xbox on the spot.The way it usually works is you pay a €20 diagnosis fee, they will find the problem and give you a quote. If you are happy with the quote and go ahead with the repair, the €20 for diagnosis is cancelled and you dont have to pay it. If you don't like the quote you just pay the €20 diagnosos.

From what you have said I think the cost will be €60 or €70, €55 or €65 if you like us on facebook.

With the new pricing it could be as low as €44 (including the fb discount) i don't personally deal with the xboxes though so i'm not sure what the new rate of €49 would cover. The technician himself will give you the quote.

whoever you get to do it make sure they are using a bga rework machine and ask to see it first just to make sure.
If there not using a bga rework machine your only wasting your time and money with them.
Just be aware of this alot of chancers using heat guns and the like that will do more damage than good.

Smyths and most of the game shops will do this, think its about €4.

A bloke a mate knew.... thats usually not a good thing.
Unless he used a rework station your going to be facing rrod again in another 3 months or less.

Loose GPU...heatsink. Which this bloke probably swapped using the x-clamp trick and as jimbob said it'll get you another month or two, maybe a few more, but it will go again
