On 6/20 at around 10:00pm my brand new Xbox 360 Slim shut off while watching netflix. After looking into the problem the 360 was dead and wouldn't power on. I found the new power brick to have a red light. UPDATE: 6/21 After speaking with Microsoft they opened an order for me to send it to them. Concluding that it had to be the Console itself, because we had tried 2 different power supplies and both Red Lighted. But the same 2 power supplies would work on my friends new 360 model S. They could not expedite the process and would take 2 to 3 weeks. As well they would not compensate me for any frustration which I'm ok with now but because of the bad PR I would've thought they be willing to make a loyal customer happy. I did inform them that I would be documenting the hardware failure on youtube and anywhere I could get it published. That didn't help to make them move things along any faster. She advised me to check with my local retailer Game Stop where I purchased it from and see if they could do a system Swap. I advised I would check but since I had searched for 2 systems over the weekend in a 30 mile radius most places were out of stock and had told me that they didn't know when they would be getting anymore back in and the only thing I could do was check day to day. On Monday morning my local game stop manager spoke with their district manager after I informed her of what had gone on. The DM found a store who had just gotten a new one in stock. They held it for me until ...

Sub Zero Refrigerator Repair - Troubleshooting 101
The LCD screen displaying the words 'Service' is flashing at odd intervals? Your ice maker is not disposing ice? The refrigerator is not warm enough?
Common problems like these could be troubleshoot by you and needs no professional service unless you hit a dead end. As a courtesy to all Sub Zero refrigerator customers, here are some common tips on how to troubleshoot problems that could occur by your fridge.
The 'Service' light flashing in the LCD display could be due to the fact that the condenser might be jammed. Therefore, all you need to do is to just clean the condenser according to the manufacturer's guide. If this problem still persists, it could be due to faulty temperature sensor. Turn off the fridge and restart it after a few minutes. If the 'Service' light still flashes, then please contact the Sub Zero refrigerator repair department to arrange an appointment with the technicians.
Is your refrigerator not working? It could be because the power plug is not connected or the home breaker circuit or fuse is off. Besides that, you could also check for the refrigerator door and ensure that no food or containers are obstructing the proper closing of the refrigerator door. If none of this could solve the problem, then the refrigerator is probably at the defrost mode.
Is your ice maker is not producing ice or dispenses clumped ice? Please check whether the water supply is connected. If the ice dispenser is not used for a long period of time, the ice inside could clump together. However, if your ice maker is not dispensing ice; it is because the ice maker produces an average of 8 cubes every two hours. Besides that, you might find that the ice cubes tastes and smells funny initially. Please be informed to throw away the first batch of ice because it might contain pipe residue or chemicals associated with new water lines.
This is just a brief summary of the most common problems faced. Please refer to the manual for more troubleshooting tips. If you are troubleshoot your problems, feel free to contact the Sub Zero refrigerator repair department.

Xbox 360 Red Lights - Help! What Can I Do?
So there you are happily playing GTA IV on your 360 when boom the game freezes! You think oh well not to worry and turn the console off, take the disc out and then switch it back on. You see the dreaded red lights and panic, and then you search on the internet and find your way to this article.
Well the good news is that this article will tell you what the red lights mean, how they are caused and what you can do to try and fix them!
The bad news is that as you have probably guessed they do indicate a problem with your Xbox!
Ok don't panic here we go:
The red lights are caused by the same thing happening in the Xbox 360 which is overheating!
This is normally not down to where you are keeping the console unless you have it next to a fire or a heater in which case move it somewhere cooler. The problems arise from the design of the Xbox and not enough cooling so it can help to buy a Nyko intercooler which is 3 fans that plug on the back and give it 3 times the cooling.
The CPU and the GPU overheat and as the soldering becomes loose the motherboard bends and then the soldering snaps off and that is when you are left with this problem.
So what can you do to repair your Xbox?
Well if you have the 3 red lights you can send the Xbox back to Microsoft and they will fix it for you. The only downside is that they have tons to do and if you send it in you will find yourself waiting for weeks to get a repaired console back to you.
If you can't wait that long then you can look for an Xbox 360 Repair guide online and there are a few about however not all are equal in quality so do your homework first and make sure if you do get one that it has a full guarantee and also step by step videos to show you how to fix it!
I hope this article has helped you find out what is wrong with your 360 and given you a way that you can fix these problems.

Some Things to Consider When Winterizing a Trailer
It is late September and with Winter on the way again it is time to start checking all the weak points both inside and outside of your home. Living in a trailer that we have been winterizing since the beginning of the August, there have been a few things come up that normally would not in a regular home. Here are a few of them to keep in mind even if you are not in a trailer or doing renovations.
After the initial move and since our trailer is an older model, 1960 or thereabouts, we had to make some decisions about its overall condition. The first thing we decided on was to pull down the ceiling in the kitchen and living and tear out the ceiling cover, plastic barrier and the old, wet insulation so the ceiling could dry. I sprayed the wet areas with bleach water to kill and prevent mold. The rest of the ceiling will be done next spring. We built twenty nine trusses to put on the existing roof rather than removing the old roof and rebuilding from scratch. While the roof was being built onto it and insulated with R20, then shingled, the existing vents for the furnace and water tank had to be checked and either reinforced or put in again. Originally there was no attic opening to get into the roof so that had to be cut out in the spare room closet and covered. I replaced all the light bulbs with energy savers.
Once we had enough hose down the well to reach the water, more was needed to go from the pumphouse to the trailer to be hooked up for access to indoor running water. The only way I had access to running water previously was by going out to the pumphouse and turning on the noisy generator that was hooked up to the well pump, back in the house I had to pail enough cold water for use on the stove and for baths after which I went back to the pumphouse and turned the generator off. This, for a month before the hose was hooked up under the trailer and little do we realize just how much water a washing machine uses until you have to pail it in, which is why I use only cold water for washing! All the electrical also had to be hooked up for the lights and power to the appliances.
That done, we next installed a new 40 gallon propane water tank, that had to be ordered in, to heat the well water and got the electric furnace converted to a propane user; the 250 gallon propane tank for the yard was delivered and hooked up by a gas fitter who also had to check the fittings and connections of the propane copper wiring to the trailer. At this point it is good to keep in mind that Alberta regulations are set so only 80 % of the tank is filled for safety reasons and you have to manually check the amount of propane left in your tank and know what the current price of propane is when ordering another fill to make it economical to use. Does anyone hear solar panels echoing in their heads! Well, so far, so good.
September has been busy as money and time was spent on cutting to fit and painting some of the OSB sheets that were used for the porch, to skirt in the bottom of the trailer to protect the water lines from freezing and keep the mouse, vole, mole and bug populations at bay. Before finishing the skirting and packing dirt along the edge and up the skirting all around the trailer, the water pipes had to be wrapped with thirty feet of electric pipe freeze prevention heating cable, with a plug in and then have insulation taped all around the pipes leaving an access door in the skirting for easy entry. It has taken a month to build the 12 x 12 porch, working on it in the evenings and weekends.
Our trailer is on a small acreage so there was a lot of wood boards that were still usable and being economy minded people on a budget who do not like to waste anything, we spent time in cutting these boards for use in building the frame and roof of the porch. My hubby and his friend put twenty feet of soffet up plus the flashing then framed and built most of the porch and put it together. Finishing the low sloped roof with metal and pulling it into place, securing it with three inch screws. It is detached from the trailer in case of a move. This will be set up as my winter porch pantry. The electrical is done in the porch for the indoor and outdoor lights and the switches are in. Now we can insulate and sheet the inside of the porch, I can clean and paint the floor and our freezer, bin, three tier shelf can go in. I still need my two tables, wood/recycle/trash and potato boxes in and the shelving built. Then I can stock it for my pantry.
After I used closed cell foam tape weatherstrip on the windows and doors, I covered the windows with shrink-to-fit, clear film window insulator over the all the windows inside, finishing them with a blow dryer to tighten them up and keep the drafts out; Alberta winds can get pretty vicious. Our wood stove has yet to go in; first we need to build a raised wood platform in the living room with enough room under and behind it to allow for airflow, then put light cement board insulation against the wall for added protection. Ceramic tiles go on the platform, a vent is cut into the wall behind and covered for fresh air, a hole is then cut into the ceiling and out through the insulation and roof so the pipe can be put in place with an added half pipe attached to the existing one, again for added protection. After that the wood stove is connected and fired up, using the furnace fan to circulate the heat from the wood burner to heat the rest of the trailer; this will greatly cut down on our propane use. By the way, one of the best and most economical fire-starters you can use is the lint from your dryer; I save all of mine for just that purpose.
There is still the pumphouse to insulate and a nine inch portable dish heater to put in to keep it warm for the winter and keep everything from freezing. Thirty six feet of house cover is needed to go on the out side of the porch to protect the wood over the winter months and the rest of the soffet has to be put on. Next Spring we will put siding on the porch and attach three inch board insulation to the outside of the trailer walls, then re-side it. Its important to remember that everything you add to a trailer also adds to the overall weight of the trailer, that is why when building the roof you can have only a foot of overhang. Even though there is still work to be done most of the important things are already in place for the coming of winter. Its a good idea to prepare and plan ahead for trailer renos, a line of credit at your local hardware store also helps.

Anatomy Of Hot Surface Ignition: Carrier WeatherMaker 8000
Anatomy Of Hot Surface Ignition: Carrier WeatherMaker 8000 (80%+ AFUE) First off, we diagnose a bad glow plug igniter. Then I walk us through the start-up procedures. As a clarification, though not included with this model, NC means normally closed. If a pressure switch is already closed before the ventor motor/inducer starts, odds are the unit will lock out! The second most common problem with this type of furnace is usually the pressure switch or a plugged chimney. Especially an unlined chimney! These types of units may produce moisture within the flue if not vented properly. The outlet temperatures are much lower, and unable to maintain a "Warm Chimney", Oil Burner guys/gals know what I'm talking about. The warmer it is, the more draft you have over the fire. The same principles apply to gas furnaces, although slightly more corrosive and known to bleed through chimneys on the second floor. I'm not saying this particular model would, but generally ALL of the 'newer' 80% furnaces. Also, contrary to belief, these ARE NOT to be directly vented outside at ground level. The inducer motor is to provide an assisted draft, not act as a power venter! You can however do so, with a Fields Power Venter, or equivilent optional accessory. Thanks for watching. The replacement 'aftermarket' igniter installed was a White Rogers 767A-370. Often used on several different models and types of gas furnaces and boilers. It just so happens we stocked this one right in our truck. Along with ...
