Yahoo congratulations leenaz

looks like no halo 3 this month

yeah
but since i;m no halo 3 fan
co it doesnt matter enyway

^ no wonderler u dc last nite. Some of us told that u 3rod and some u have been kicked out get a core 1 ler..i saw 1 at Sg Wang, IT floor.

for the first time i saw 3rod light blinking
i think i want to leave it like that
since it can be my decor for hari raya
so nice see the led blinking

raya lama lagi la bang ..

yesterday i try back my console as usual goeas 3rol then i combine push reset and power . fuyooh got green light berpusing pusing . i thought it was a success . but tet tet tet f***ing 3rol back .

Well I use a no brand "ubat gigi" and no problem so far. And that penis method works if the 3rod caused by broken RAM solder ( yep can happen, microsoft is cheapasses ). By using the penis it give pressure to RAM to make the broken solder contacted normally again. But most of the 3rod case caused by the GPU...

Well i think my 3rod story kinda like this at first i do the xclamp it was a success at first . it will stay for 2 till 3 days . then it 3rod . then the next day i apply the cheap thermal paste and then it fix . but i try one game that is the DOA 4, i will go 2rol after 2 match battle. i try the XBL game also it will overheat for 2 minutes ( this is because i apply the cheap 6 ringgit thermal paste )

then the next day i bought the Arctic COoling MX2 ( the 48 ringgit thermal paste ) . ok i put it on the thermal paste ( of coz i clean the cheap thermal paste with alcohol before applying the expensive thermal paste ) do the xclamp ( bought the screws and washers from Djinn ) . i turn it up . it flash 3rol and 4 or 5 minutes it go 2 ROl ..so i open the console again and tighten the screws ( not that to tight , i follow all the youtube videos, metacafe, the lowyat videos, the all google xclamp guide etc ) it was a failure . no green lights

then the next day . i try the towel trick . i put all the towels, i let it out ( i watch the bleach movie for 1 hour 30 minutes ) i open the towels etc it shows 2rol but actually it was 3rol flashing all the time . still was a failure .

then i try the rubber , eraser fix . ( brazilian fix ka apa ni . ) it didn't work . the rubbers crush flawlessly into the metal case . waste 1.80 sen .

i try the penis fix . i don't know if the 1 sen syiling is copper or not . ok i try it with double tape . 3 sen on each 4 ram . it didn't work also .

lastly i use the hair dryer . i hair dryer all the motherboard, till it sparks . wow the motherboard can make fire . ha ha ha

ok now i want to check the reset plus the eject 4 times ( now i know this from tailgunner , thanks man . ) . i will check the failures .

i don't know whether this will be the key for fixing my xbox or not . cause all i know that my box flash the 3 lights and therefore i got 3rod ftw .

Well mine 3rod 3 time actually. 1st 3rod send to tot and 3rod after a month. 2nd I try 2 washers and stay for a week. 3rd I use 2 washers + shim. Works like charm, no problemo till today, and all with no brand ubat gigi hehe.

oh i see, the 3rd method u use ya, 2 washers as the washers in front or at back ? . btw how to do the shim ? i know its somethin like aluminium foil rite or wrong ?, hmm exactly how to do the shim . or maybe u can pm me the step by step to do the shim plus washer xclamp thingy ..

This how I placed the washer.



This is how i placed the shim.



Sandwich the shim between heatsink and GPU die. Dun forget ubat gigi. Shim size I use is 2.5cm long x 1.5cm width x 0.5mm thick. Good luck.

wow thanks . this shim is using the ordinary aluminium foil rite . or do i need to buy expensive one . btw do i need to the shim to both of the chips or else

Aluminium foil is too thin lol. I use aluminium that people use to attach the windows frame when building a house. My father say can get it at hardware shop selling those batu-bata and those construction thingies. Forgot the name already... I'll ask him later.
