Check for the error code. Error 0020 and 0102 is fixable using the x-clamp replacement method.

^ did u check whats my error code..?

nope. I did the x clamp replacement already.

after 30 mins it came back with the error E74 (on screen) and error code on (holding sync and eject) code 1022.

You need to press the wireless + eject button to view the error code, need not to change cable.

hem, ok~ it is 0020 error. can somebody arrange for me? thx

any updates on your console yet?

your error is same as mine that day 0020 so should be fixable...

error 0020 is fixable with the x-clamp replacement method. as you are in sarawak, guess no one can help doing it for you. but it's fairly easy if you have the knowledge in assembling a PC motherboard, CPU and heatsink. but most important first is to get the screw, hard to find.

is it Xbox already void warranty???
if shop does give you warranty then you can go to them...

Your error code is 0102.

if got warranty send it back la..
if not jus use the x-clamp method to fix it lo...

djinn, i tot 1022 is either encoder or av cable prob, cant be fixed rite? THis thing also scary le...

I have just finished operating bro Shumaky's 3rol console, here are a few pictures of the "cleaning old and putting fresh thermal paste" process.

Before cleaning,




^ The trick here is to use a card (namecard or your IC card ) to scrap off those big junk of thermal compound, until only the sticky blurry thin thermal are left on the chip. After that, put 1 drop of arctic thermal remover 1 onto the chip and leave it for 10 secs, clean it using a cotton bud. Do not use a cloth to wipe it as you might scratch the surface of the chip or the heatsink, just use a q-tip will do fine. There might be some thermal sticking onto the small legs of the chips next to the GPU, just use a q-tips and the thermal remover, it will come out eventually.

After you are finally satisfied in cleaning it, the heatsink and chip should look as clean and shiny as




^ checkout the reflections of the q-tip on the chip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now its time to put on fresh thermal paste, just squeeze out a tiny "rice grain" size onto the tip of your q-tips (its easier to apply the thermal paste if its on the TIP of the q-tip). Never use extra thermal paste once you have used that "rice grain" size amount of thermal, cause more than that, that means you are putting TOO MUCH thermal paste on it!! (stares at xxboxx )



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally after applying the thermal compound, it should look like this



After that just follow on the Lawdawg or RBJTech's tutorial and you should get yourself a working revived zombie xbox 360.

Hey no problem man. Its all for the 360 community anyway.. its not like i am earning a big profit from doing this but then the feeling of reviving something presumed to be dead is just ... satisfying

Btw, stress testing your console with Gears of War..

At point of post, it has lasted for 30 mins.

@Bro silencer - Please add a 3rol console - Error 0102 - Fixed by me, virgil.

-= Virgil =-, should say priceless la

i straight squeeze the thermal to the cpu top. after seeing it's a very thick layer i satisfied i have done it right, since when open the 360, MS also putting quite a thick layer. of course ended up with a 360 that keep hang, and have to open back and remove the thermal...

lesson 101: never ever put too much thermal paste.

ha take note thermal paste is to fill in air gaps in between the core and the heatsink to transfer heat efficiently
as air is a bad heat conductor and the paste is soft liquid base

is best apply using a card like a credit card or ur bonuslink card to spread a thin layer across the core cheers
