Question:

red fluid is leaking from my xbox is this a common problem?

i bought a new xbox360 from the store. i hooked the xbox to my tv and powered it up. about 30 miniutes later the xbox disk drive began making strange noises. on further inspection i noticed a small pool of thick red sulfuric-smelling liquid under the xbox. i then unplugged and moved the xbox, when i picked it up about a 3/4 cup of the liquid began dripping out of the vents. i let the xbox dry out and tried to plug it in but i got 3 flashing red lights and the console would not play. is this a defect of the xbox or did i accidentally break something inside? and is this liquid safe to clean up normally or do i need safety gloves?

Answer:

The major differences that I know of are the leather and the VCM cylinder fuel cutoff which improves your hwy mileage in the ex-L. As for the other differences, you'll have to get a brochure from your dealer or visit Honda online.
You need to leave the unit on constantly to let the smell burn off so that it stops meanwhile disable the keypad (residential fire/burglar alarm) or disable the fire alarm panel (dedicated fire alarm panel)
Well, something's worn out, jammed, bent, etc. Since you don't have a pic, I'll guess it's a roll-up door with a lock in the middle, such that, when you rotate the unlocked handle, it moves two bars or cables, one to each side, that end in a latch or plunger that goes into a slot in the door channel. (Second guess, a lock at one side of the door that engages only on that side.) Any part(s) of this assembly can go south, but my experience with a half-dozen is that the side latches or plungers are hanging up, or not hitting their holes cleanly. That can be from wear, an old soft spring, slippage of the bracket on the door that the latch passes through, or settling/sagging of the door or track that messes up the alignment needed. WD40 isn't a bad shot, but some grease on the latches stays around better. Study it inside, with repetitive trials until you understand better what's supposed to do what. Any part of this can be replaced, and is the most direct approach, maybe fifty bucks. I haven't even used an exterior garage door key lock for some years, depending instead on the opener system. (My current one was DIY, a Chamberlain screw-drive system, under $200.)
