Hi Ajak,
Nice to hear this great news.  We shall put this thread as sticky so that any xbox360 with error code 0102 will be able to share their experience on this. Maybe you can be the organiser to do a "heat gun" 360 fixing fest in Malaysia  |

QUOTE(acougan @ Jan 25 2007, 02:55 PM) sorry to hear ur set also kena. i was hoping ur working on it - replacing the thermal paste & polishing the heatsink would improve the situation. do u have any know-how & equipment to resolder/reflow solder/reball/etc the GPU/CPU chip? Hi all, the towel trick works!!!!! also, thanks for ur chess piece advice  i still using them.  Just a summary on my towel trick approach: 1. 1 clean thick bath towel (dry one!) 2. Wrap the towel covers the heat exhaust hole at the back 3. Wrap the surrounding including the air inlet holes 4. Turn it on (yes, it will still showing 3RoD) 5. Let it run for few minutes. For my case, I heard the fan spinning sound is faster/noisier than during 3RoD. 6. Turn it off and cool down. 7. Turn it on and I saw the xbox animation   Those who has my gamertag can see I just online on Live and played GoW and R6:LV. OMFG  The lead free soldering really sucks  |

QUOTE(DjiNn @ Jan 26 2007, 08:24 PM) yup, I got the same problem,while running gears of war. Hi Jaylike7 & Djinn,and one of the japanese version won't even want to run the gow disc... I would suggest you to clean up the ori thermal sludge (read my word : SLUDGE) which tends to melt. Use a sandpaper to polish your GPU heatsink (it's crappy coarse!) and then re-apply with arctic silver. It helps. |

Sorry for late reply, my error code was 0102 Added on January 28, 2007, 11:32 am QUOTE(nakata101 @ Jan 28 2007, 08:03 AM) Yesterday i open my X0 casing thinking to take off the heatsink and want to replace a new thermal paste for it (b4 3ROD coming to attack me, just want to make it more cooler), but dunno why i have try many way still cant pull out the heatsink.... Nakata, you have to unhook from below of motherboard. It's quite hard to open it for 1st time anyway.[attachmentid=187148] I have take out the screw from another side, but still cant pull out the heatsink.. [attachmentid=187149] Damn hot... it hurt ur finger skin when u touch it. This post has been edited by Dothan: Jan 28 2007, 11:32 AM |
