Xbox 360 owners are reporting that their consoles are not ventilating properly, leading to overheating and even a fire. Xbox 360s manufactured before the end of 2009 use an old design for the ventilation system, which can cause problems when the console is placed in a tight space or when it’s used in a hot environment. There are several ways to fix ventilation on an Xbox 360. The first is to replace the fan assembly. This is a relatively easy task that can be done by any Xbox 360 owner with basic tools and knowledge of electronics. Another option is to replace the ventilation system entirely. This will require professional help and may be more expensive than replacing just the fan assembly, but it will ensure that your console functions properly in hot environments and avoids potential fires. ..
