QUOTE(_skeevs @ Dec 7 2009, 01:05 PM) My 1st Xenon unit RROD'ed after about 1.5 years in 2007. I bought my 2nd Falcon unit last year in April 2008, and it RROD'ed in August 2009. I sent it to Ivan(Tech2) to replace the GPU. It RROD'ed again after 2 months, and it was fixed again. Then, just past Friday it RROD'ed for the 3rd time  I'm going to collect my xbox from Ivan again today. I'm hoping this time it'll last me at least another 3 more months Best part is that the console was never in an enclosed, no-ventilation area. @IccyAsd hats off to you for going thru 5 units already !  @alepzuhri RM350 w/3 months warranty so the reballing gpu was not a permanent fix ? |

it was never meant to be 100% permanent fixed, there is alot user who got 3rod after the fix that has never gone back to the post to post the failure. my friend is 1 of the victim a falcon unit, 1-2months time he got 3rod again, then at that time the service is only able to do 2nd time reballing for free in 3months. he gave up on his unit in the end.
@_skeevs :- what to do? my games are more expansive than the console, i just cant give up on them =P

Yup, they never mentioned that it'll be a perm fix, but will *hopefully* last 6mths - 1 year. I just picked the console up, says that they used lead-free solder before this and now changed back to lead based solder. Hope that works better then. @iccyasd lol...I'm in the same boat as you then if you look at it that way  |

i think reballing the GPU for first time is enough, then second time try to apply the thermal paste on it and one 240V fan for it then it can be last if the console xbox 3rrod again for second time....
It is nothing related with the rebaling GPU for second time failed 3 rrod, try to fixed the problem yourself, then it will be OK...
for the arctic silver 5, it is hard to get in Malaysia..
I asked my US friend help me buy it and will apply the thermal on the console for it once i get it....

You forget something. After you put the new thermal paste, secure your heatsinks. After that "Reheat it". People always skipped this part. Try to reheat it for about 7 to 10 minutes. How to reheat? Just turn on the console without the fan. And then cool it down for about 20 to 30 minutes. After it cooled down, turn it on again. It's good to go.

QUOTE(navigator @ Dec 5 2009, 05:30 AM) Don't let your phobia brought you down. if you so scared of 3RRoD then go PS3, but PS3 will also have YLoD. You have been warned. 3RRoD can be faked while freeze game is normal as complicated application will have certain amount of bugs. I'm sorry, I'm just telling you that. I've been research about RROD & PS3's YLod all day long. That's why I've played my 360 about just 2 hours then rest to avoid such things happen unlike those videos and still doin great. Thank god to me. This post has been edited by Jeff2009: Dec 14 2009, 09:39 PM |

Thank god, My falcon is turned on "previously" like a server jsut to serve me downloads & demos..... Nowadays no more that way coz my wife said later the baby will follow suit + got some radiation from that machine.... and yet, after a full freaking year, it never failed....yet However rest every 2 hour is good....for your health. keep it up. Do it on all other gaming. |

Dont know about 2 hours a day gaming.. will take quite some time to finish of a single game.
I'm using my refurb zephyr unit from at some days 2-12 hours also no problem.
Last time my prevois unit 3ROD, and i hardly even use it.. like use it for a week then left it there for months and it 3RODS on me during a game intro lol.

Thank god to me. both console got its own sets of problem xbox 360 RROD ps3 YLOD both also quite bad.. i would say when it does happen, its a horrible feeling  anyways my previous falcon is dead and now got myself a jasper... sadly , i thought it would have lasted much longer.. mine was plagued with E74 then followed now by memory errors |
