Hello Chaps

I wonder if any of you will be able to help with a little problem a mate of mine is having at the moment.

Basically his XBox is dead! R.I.P Box!! Over the course of the last few months, load speed has been grinding to a halt. This mainly happened on his FIFA games but has spread to all others. As his Discs run fine on mine I can only conclude there is a hardware problem of some sort.

He took his Box apart last night and found a lot of dust.After blowing all the dirt and putting it back together it seems to be running a little better but no where near the speed it did when he first purchased it.

So I was wondering if any of you could answer the following:-

1. Has any one had any similar problems and if so how did they overcome them?
2. Can individual components such as the DVD rom be replaced and if so where's best to purchase them?
3. Will replacing the devices be seen as a mod and prevent the machine from accessing XBox Live?

Cheers
