Let CPR Game System Repairs be Your Island in an Ocean of Frustration
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009
Manufacturers used to fix their game system consoles with reliable results. Increasingly now they won’t even fix ‘em.
Repairs for game systems like the Nintendo Wii or DS Lite, the Sony PSP or Playstation 2 or 3, or Microsoft’s Xbox original or 360, used to be performed by manufacturers while the unit was under warranty or not. It was part of the perks for customers after they’d purchased a popular toy that was dancing off the shelves. Full support implied repairing the thing when it broke. While America’s economy has slipped into some kind of unpredictable netherland (we’re not talking Holland here), incentives to fix the games when they break even while they are under warranty has become less attractive to the giant companies charged with the making of such coveted “toys.”
Thankfully, CPR is picking up the slack. Certified and expert technicians known for stressing customer service are doing more and more to fix the games. When your Xbox original starts doing those distressing DREs, or three flashing red lights make your 360 resemble a Trojan horse in a miniature Doomsday scenario, a CPR technician can make it work again.
When your Sony PSP goes silent, ceasing to produce any reassuring sound, power, or video, and you begin to think you’re suddenly a recycled Tommy from the Who’s now ancient rock opera, deaf, dumb, and blind, a CPR technician can make you feel alive again, or at least fix your game console.
When your Nintendo Wii won’t load its disc, and you are so frustrated you’re about to scream like a Banshee, a CPR expert technician can restore that feeling of all being right with the world – at least as far as your treasured Wii is concerned.
CPR is quick to the joystick, too: Sometimes your beloved game can be repaired while you wait. Even if it can’t, once it is fixed in a timely fashion, it’s under CPR warranty. That should bring some cheer back into your life, even if next Christmas is a whole solstice away.

Microsoft’s Xbox Will No Longer Be Supported
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Microsoft has announced that service repairs for its original Xbox video game systems with expired warranties will no longer be available. So if yours breaks, what happens now?
On March 2, 2009, Microsoft announced tersely and without compassion that service repairs for its original Xbox video game systems with expired warranties will no longer be available. While still offering “other” technical support; documents and content; maintaining an “upgrade” program; and support for consoles still under warranty, Xbox owners with expired warranties are heretofore out of luck. What, me worry? What can go wrong with an Xbox?
A veritable Murphy’s Law of wrong can go wrong and probably will. Lurking just around the corner of continued use is the dreaded DRE, or disc reading errors, when you learn in a moment of panic that your “games are not reading.” Other “issues” that your once coveted console might have include freezing or overheating, a sudden and inexplicable loss of sound, power, or video (how did that happen?), you keep getting a litany of error messages, you keep getting a “call customer service” message every few seconds (it’s taunting you as if it KNOWS that its warranty has expired), your controller won’t respond, you can’t modify; or, if it’s the Xbox360 you’re pitifully holding in your hand, you’re getting three red lights, also known as the “Three Rings of Death” and this is real, you’re NOT standing in a Tolkein-like mythical land of Mordar.
When one or more of these symptoms of despair begin turning your Xbox into something diseased, a real poxbox, and your warranty has expired, it’s time to start hunting – for an independent repair shop either in close proximity or else a shop with a reliable mailing address. You’ll be pleasantly surprised that many of these shops have access to the parts they need and are staffed by expert technicians, so that maybe, just maybe, your treasured Xbox can be fixed. Goodbye dreaded DRE. Hey, now you’ve got sound — power is back — video has returned — your controller is responding. Once again, all is right with your world, or at least your Xbox.

XBOX 360 – E74 Error
Monday, April 20th, 2009
It seems almost ironic that right after Microsoft released their update for the new XBOX Experience there was a rise in E74 errors. Who even knew about E74 errors before then! Microsoft also didn’t want to repair them under warranty. The fact that it’s an odd error means that it’s not one that we fix with our normal lightning speed. About 3-5 days is our normal turnaround, but I’m sure that’s faster than 3 weeks. Any questions, click here for a free estimate.

CPR’s Game System Repairs Are Fast and Reliable
Saturday, March 21st, 2009
CPR expert technicians are now specializing in repair of game consoles – and not just Xboxes.
It was only a matter of time before CPR moved into the game system repair niche. Like any electronic contrivance these days, manufacturers are growing increasingly reluctant to repair these expensive “toys” – especially once their warranties expire. Microsoft has recently (as of March 2nd) discontinued repair service for original Xboxes whose warranties have expired. In the cases of such consoles as the popular Nintendo Wii, or Sony products such as their PSP or their Playstation 2 & 3, the moans of distressed and frustrated customers grow ever louder. What can go wrong with these games touted by shrill marketing voices as the “next generation” of intricate video games? The variety of complaints is like a cornucopia. The Xboxes often pain their owners with DREs, an inability to read a game or games within the assembled configuration. Xboxes, whether the original models or the Xbox 360, can freeze or overheat, or suddenly lose sound, power, or video. Error messages and non-responsive controllers are common complaints, as are colorful troubles with the red lights – depending on which is flashing possibly indicating whether or not your unit’s destination should be the nearest landfill. Sony PSP consoles sometimes need a full shell replacement. A Playstation 2 can make a clicking or grinding noise that mimics the mating call of the giant earwig. The disc on your Playstation 3 might not load or eject. Your Nintendo DS Lite might have broken hinges.
Whatever the problem that your game system might be having, a friendly & certified expert CPR technician can provide a solution that you won’t have to wait an eternity for. Chances are your game can be fixed, no matter what the issue might be. CPR provides warranty on all game system repairs. If the problem is simple enough, a technician might even be able to fix the contrivance while you wait. Try asking a manufacturer to do that.
