well, the overall process is so darn easy like virgil mentioned b4... dumb@$$es like me and alkt also can done it

you can refer to the pictures that alkt posted and you will know how to do it yourself.

two 3rod consoles took me 2hours to fix it. the mos taking time part where u need to clean overloaded thermal paste, we used the artic thermal cleaner so it can clean out all the residue of the thermal paste around the small component around the cpu.

as for screws n washer, if you guys really interested to do it yourself or if you wan my assist.... you can pm me so that i can tell you all how much it cost in total for everything. don't want to post the price here coz it will definitely causing somebody losing his business here.

at last but not least, we are doing this for the 360 Community so that everyone no worries of buying 360s and the community can grow n shine!!!

edit: and ya, need to recorrect something from alkt's post the procedure of placing the washer n screws is like this

screw -> metal washer /nylon washer -> mother board -> nylon washer -> heatsink

Great tutorial. Should pin it!

By the way, another method is where u are required to drill the casing. Can anybody kind enough to explain why?

i think the case drilling is not necessary

btw judge, dun quote the pics pls. put spoiler tag

well,

can we make another thread for tutorial of how to revive the 3rod 360s?

since the pics alkt posted is very useful for ppl to try on and it is not good to have it in few pages behind in this thread.

@Ganaz-x,

no need so ganaz until using the drilling method as it needs more time n work to accomplish.

all you need to do is just getting the right screws n washers...again, if you interest to do it yourself, PM me n i will give out the recipe..

LOL, ok la...go go go, it's something informative.

Call it 3ROD revival for dummies or whatever name you like and i will pin it

ANyay, great job to the two "dumb ass"!!

could you list the size and type of screws together with the tolls and washers more specific easier for us all to start

Give us the items need in much more details..
like the screws.. how many mm n such..
Thanks.

i think i might change my xclamp before it happens

ya.. me too if the steps are simple n the items are readily available..

hey guys should have added this sooner but my internet is no more and im using my college's computer.......

Let me tell you guys a short story...

I went to KLCC at 12:15 pm had a light lunch at the Delifrance Bisto i lugged something very precious with me during that time...my first xbox 360..the one i bought in June of 2006...as some of you may know i bought another 360 a couple months later...but i was very very maniacal about getting my first 360 fixed...anyway back to the story, i got up and proceeded out of KLCC and proceeded outside of the Petronas Towers....there i waited for a while and saw different hardworking individuals taking their cigarette breaks...about ten minutes later....

I sent a SMS to bossman tot31....he said he will meet me at the lobby...i finally saw him face to face....a real friendly person....he then took my heavy 360 away from me and i went to finish off my time at KLCC in Kino....

I cam home soon afterwards and at three o'clock i played my 360...(alone )...

Then fastfoward to 8pm...i was watching one of myfavourite movies "The Big Red One" on Astro.....then my phone went TEET TEET !!!!!

----1 MESSAGE RECEIVED----

It was from tot31.....he had some news...and it wasnt good news....

















IT WAS BRILLIANT NEWS!!!!!!!!


My 360 was revived and bossman tot31 was stress tesiting it!!!

So Silencer add another survivor to that list!!!1

Musch respects TOT31!!!

great
but its not fix yet without xbox live ahha

farnee...

Yeah....im so tired of not having streamyx that i couldnt care less what happens now...after "two working days" instead of getting my connection fixed...my whole connection was gone... ..

this makes it the 8th time i talked to streamyx....

and unfortunately...there has to be ninth time as well

Anyhow guys... if ended up need 2 know the drilling method, pls check wif -= Virgil =- ...his way of fixing was ended wif drilling method...

congrates to you guys....

Can someone comeup with the steps n items needed with pictars on how to self do this..
Thanks..

Original clamp was screwed to metal plate. Non drilling method will secure both heatsinks but u wont be able to screw it to the metal plate, and as such it was't really secured. This particularly true if u wanna put the console on a vertical position, since there's nothing to "hold" the motherboard to the back plate.
