he didn't fix la~. his coming down to my shop to swap 1 to 1 for a brand new one.

ok...thnx for the info master chief....any more revived console?????

urm, I think my XBOX have error code 0021.
Can this be fixed?

Hmmm..the error code of 0021..is not listed in my database....any fixer here wanna give a try...?

Will you take on the challenge!?
!!!

pass back your supplier la~. I'm very sure he can give you warranty and all.

That question....only applicable to virgil..djinn...or tot...

Ah Head thanks for the sorry feel....but im now returned with the brand new xbox360, hope this will last me for real long...bet Mr Djinn has a very "GOOD" impression on me alr...since i always trouble him for any items i purchased from him hahaha

No one fix-ed......wait for Djinn to settle my Ex-box

TQ Boss....u help is much much appreciated.

Hi bro...hope u get urs fixed .... add me in ur list when u get back to LIVE

lowyatguy..thats the easiest and fastest way to get it fixed....master chief djinn sure has to think another way to expand his business....this xbox 3rod case really eating his sale margin....lol....

Yes...hopefully ban hammer will bring MS in for Official Malaysian XBOX360 and by the time....things will be better with bloody MS service center available in our country.

Error 0021 DVD Drive Time out - Can be caused by problems with a firmware flash. This is also speculated to sometime be caused by a problem with the southbridge chipset on the motherboard.

I doubt that removing the x-clamps will solve this problem but then only m$ knows (do they?!). Error E74 which is a VGA cable error also can be fixed using the x-clamps replacement method so you can actually try it, no harm to your console anyway.

wow...

my console is in the hall of fame (the hardest to fix!!)

hahaha

nasib baik bro virgil terre!!!

virgil=life saver

Me kana 3ROD. Fixed already. Didn't use x-clamp replacement. Using "modified x-clamp". XD

"Modified" x-clamps? Enlighten me please

Dont tell me that you cut off its legs and threw out the center part of it?!

Technically that wouldn't work. I know since I tried without a clamp.

What I did was bend the clamp forward so that there would be less stress on the board, while still maintaining some pressure on the centre section. Since the main problem was board stress, I decided that this method would be sufficient.

Also one thing to note, if you wiggle the heatsink left and right before removing anything, you notice that it can't move, which means the pressure is really strong. I bent the clamp enough to release some pressure so that the heatsink could do a light wiggle therefore indicating that the pressure is not so great.

Cleaned up the gunk and applied Arctic Ceramique too.



I wondered if this method would work for people who put their Xbox'es vertically...and I concluded that it would probably work too, since the clamp's main purpose is to create contact between the chip and heatsink. The heatsink itself is mounted to the outer case, so turning it vertical doesn't create a sag of any sort.

^ adjusting the pressure

sum1 did a mod based on adjusting pressures too

but i think jewel case plastic not really suitable, eh?

That doesn't really spread out the pressure, I dunno...but as long as it works. My method doesn't even require anything extra.

The key here is to reduce board flexing...that's the main problem because of the BGA. Notice that normal CPU's don't have this problem because they're still PGA...
