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.

This what happens if you blindly trying to repair on your own. The biggest mistake was, you were using hairdryer. Using hairdryer/heatgun/hotgun is the only last resort and make sure you really know what you're doing with it.

You also posted saying you saw sparks came from your mainboard. If that is the case, your X360 is totally dead. Get a new one. My condolences to you.

actually the xclamp was a success 2 weeks ago . but it 3rol . then i fix it back but using the cheap thermal paste then it when smooth . 3 times it didn't 3rol . but something is problem that is . it goes 2rol after 2 minutes ( roughly i cannot go to stage 3 with Dead Or Alive 4 story mode ) . then i put it again . then it goes 3rol forever .. now the error code is 4421 / 4420 .. 

do i need to check the error code before doing the xclamp .

if i seeing 3rol i cannot do the xclamp or i need to check the right error for the xclamp fix ? .. 

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 .      

WHAT? you did it till it sparking? I think you better check every component or stop trying to revive your console. You didn't cover every plastic parts or components with aluminium foil? Lucky you only did it with hairdryer, not a real heatgun that use to melting paint. Now can you imagine what will happen then?

You said you get your washer and skrew from Djinn right? In that case you only need 1 on top and 1 at  bottom of mainboard. That is enough. There are two different size (thickness) of washer we're talking here. Me and Tot31 using M5 (1,2 - 0,8mm) and Djinn using M10 (2,3 - 1,7mm) or M12 (2,8 - 2,2mm). So thats mean we are using 2 washer equal to 1 that Djinn are using. So don't get confuse with some opinion on what numbers are ideal for it.

I think rhoyo see too much guides until he got confuse already.

He learn so many things now and he's already one foot step to the world of modding  .

have u done 12v fan modd + air duct tunnel by rbjtech?? if not yet, do that...it will bring a lot of difference....x-clamp only improve heat transfer from cpu to heatsink...
without proper air ventilation, sooner or later will get 3rod again.

  i've done mine today....the result is unbelieveble.....before modd i measure the temperature at the lower case directly under gpu,
it was 46 celcius...after modded 29 celcius...hard to believe. but maybe it was due to the room temperature, i set my room a-cond(in office)
to the max and the temperature sensor i used read 19 degree celcius.

of course by doing the 12v bypass and air duct will confirm bring down heat.

but I scare "some " unit need heats then cold air~

I got one machine very funny syptom ... must be at precise 30 celcius or so ... too hot~ 2 red... too cold... 3 ring.. apap la....

but in the end.. I think it could be a cold joint somewhere around my GPU...

i liked to lern the 12 bypass mod... teach me teach me
