    Xbox 360 slim main drive keeps wipping data


    Xbox 360 slim main drive keeps wipping data and i have to format it again to be used

    Once format done, it asks me to update,

    That was done about 4 times with main drive losing data and reformat and update,

    Now cannot update at all

    Error comes

    I have external hdd but it does not allow to be used as main drive, so i can update there and get on with it

    What to do

    I dont care about lost data

    But without update i cannot use xbox live

    Please help

    :)

    Xbox 360 slim main drive keeps wipping data

    Checked YouTube and it shows i have to open the whole box and break seals to get to the drive

    Is that correct?
    Hi,

    If you have an empty bay you have a 4GB Slim.

    This storage unit is soldered into the motherboard and can not be easily replaced.

    Or should i have a crack at it in replacing?
    Hi,

    Self repair isn't something we can give advice on here. The Xbox 360 isn't a PC and talking about replacing chips isn't allowed. Such knowledge could be used to modify a system to run pirated software for example.

    Probably best to seek advice from a console repair shop, it's not something an average person could fix. I build PCs but I have next to no experience with de-soldering re-soldering.
