...ides also feature video. From the ones that I have read no special tools are required, most people would have the necessary kit in their garage toolboxes.

Generally, Xbox 360 repair guides are easy to understand and follow and usually have very good results. As great as this may seem, the news is not all good. Any tampering on the console by an unauthorized person will result in a voiding of the warranty which means that Microsoft would no longer be willing to repair the console themselves.
