Just send it to me and I will try to revive it. When I got my 3ROD I don't even bother to look at the error code as I was so frustrated and just straight away did the x-clamp replacement method.

Yup my service is around RM100 for the method that doesn't need to drill the case and cutting off GPU heatsink's fin.

The second method which needs the case to be drilled and the GPU heatsink fins to be cut out are a bit more expensive as it needs more time and extra work to do and that would be around RM180.

bro kabadi, me already asked bro metal he said your 3rod is fixed lah. the only problem now is the dvdrom. you need to find a replacement dvdrom in order for your 360 to fully operation again.

Yes, I'm also a member in putera forum. I'm hoping this solution would be permanent because this method had only been discovered 3 weeks ago.

I Guess, it's really important to have list of our frens here that had their xbox 360 fixed from 3ROD....will keep updating it daily...

1) tot31 - x-clamp replacement method (fixed himself)  thumbup.gif
2) judge the - xclamp replacement method (fixed by tot31 & metalgrindsolid)  rclxms.gif

Anyone....?

A) Service Charges for xclamp replacement method - tot31
- 1) RM100 for the method that doesn't need to drill the case and cutting off GPU heatsink's fin.
-2) RM180 for the second method which needs the case to be drilled and the GPU heatsink fins to be cut out which require more time and extra work to do.

Location: -
tot31 - setapak
metalgrindsolid - serdang

What did u guys use to open the 4 nuts on the GPU Heatsink? I tried using a spanar but failed miserably and i tried to use a 1/4" Socket opener but i dont have the right size of socket to fit the nut. Seems like the nut is a 6.5 mm nut, tried a 6mm nut (too small) then a 7mm (too big).

this fix only for 0020 and 010x only if not mistaken.

bios corrupted can't be fix via this way.

I want to confirm that I managed to revive bro cylon's 3ROD console. He got error code 0020. The job was done in one and the half hours only. No drilling needed.

Alkt, you can send your machine anytime as I got all the parts needed, so you don't need to send it on weekend.

A forumer from Kedah i.e elvin858 had send his 3ROD from Kedah (tomorrow will arrive, hopefully Poslaju won't ffk) to me and I'll do my best to revive it too.

Xb360 failure rate high only but doesn't mean all xb360 is in such condition.
If your xb360 still got warranty, then don't void it just for prevention ler.

There's nothing wrong if you want to do the xclamp replacement mod even though your 360 is in good condition (like the saying "Prevention is better than cure"). If you ask me I would say, once you're hit by 3ROD problem then do the mod. Anyway the bottom line is everything is up to you.

Here you go : taken from xbox-scene

QUOTE
--==SECONDARY ERROR CODES==-
The specific type of hardware failure can be determined by a "hidden" error code

    * Turn the xbox 360 on, and wait till the 3 red lights are flashing.
    * Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button.
    * The LEDs will now blink the first number in the code (as described below).
    * Release the eject button and press it again.
    * The LEDs will now blink the second number of the code.
    * Release the eject button and press it again.
    * The LEDs will now blink the third number of the code.
    * Release the eject button and press it again.
    * The LEDs will now blink the forth number of the code.
    * Release the eject button and press it again.
    * The LEDs will go back to the 3 red flashing lights.

You should be able to determine the difference between the 3 flashing lights and the error code lights by the rate in which they flash.

Here is how you interpret the LEDs to get the code number:

    * All four lights flashing - 0
    * One light flashing - 1
    * Two Lights flashing - 2
    * Three lights flashing - 3


0001 power supply problem
0002 Network Interface problem
0003 Power problem could be the PSU could be the GPU/CPU, somehow the console isn't getting clean power from the power supply.
0010 over heating
0011 over heating - If you are receiving this error after disassembling your console make sure to all 8 of the heatsync screws are tightened securely to the board/heatsink holes.
0012 over heating
0013 over heating
0020 (Not yet known, possibly overheating)
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.
0022 GPU Error / GPU Overheating
0023 (not yet known)
...
0101 (not yet known)
0102 unknown error

    * though it's most likely GPU related literally means the console does not know what is wrong. possibly a short or cold solder joint somewhere. So far there is 1 major theory for what causes most of these errors is that the Ram, CPU, or GPU are not soldered properly to the mother board due either to poor manufacturing or excessive heat up and cool down cycles that stress, weaken and eventually break the soldered connection.
      There are two theories to fixing this one deals with the "X" clamps that hold down the chips. The other involves re-Heating the chips. DO NOT attempt either of these if your console is still under warranty. If your console is still under warranty return it to the store where it was purchased or call MS to have it replaced. I have also heard of limited success by simply switching the AV cable from "HDTV" mode to "TV" mode.

0103 CPU Error/ CPU Overheating - see solution for error 0102
0110 Memory Error / Memory Overheating - see solution for error 0102
...
0200 (not yet known)
...
1000 (not yet known)
1001 (not yet known)
1002 (not yet known)
1003 Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it
1010 Hard Drive Error, Can be caused buy a corrupt or missing eProm.
1011 (not yet known)
1012 (not yet known)
1013 (not yet known) possibly a dashboard update error
1020 (not yet known)
1021 (not yet known)
1022 AV cable error... There is a problem with the AV cable, try using a different AV cable. (could also be a problem with the encoder chip)
1023 DVD drive not connected, connect DVD drive to boot
1030 (not yet known)
1031 (not yet known)
1032 (not yet known)
1033 (not yet known)
...
1444 and up There is no "4" in the error codes four lights is a "0" go back and check your code again.

My current patient had been opened up and the owner was trying to repair it himself and it's having trouble to breathe right now.

I'll continue trying to revive it tonight as last night during the operation, got a few guests came and brought the delightful Bikini Destinations... drool.gif drool.gif clips..... (redbull_if you got more.... I want it)

Btw Halflife supposed to meet me at my office at 3pm and pass his 3ROD x360 to me.

I hate drills, so I don't drill....

Got it from tot around 1800 yesterday. It works. Have a few round of Rayman Raving Rabbid and videos on his new Dell E228WFP. Pay him for the 3ROD fixed and for drive flashing. Did it not for playing mod though, just so i able to get backup of my dvd drive key, in case the drive kaput later on and had to have it replaced.

Brought it home and hook it up by 2100. Log in Live and try to message everybody "I'm back". It hanged. It happens again a few time in the friend's tab. Probably crashed due to slow internet connection. Didn't see it happened at tot's house, coz probably i didn't log on live. Haven't test gaming intensively yet ( gonna let my nieces did it for me playing Fifa 2006 for hours ). Picked up a few list for downloads and leave it. Still kick-in when i left my house by 0800. Will let u guys know later.

doh.gif Bikini Destinations ? (must ask redbull about this ah ? laugh.gif )

so I'm guessing I'm the only one guy which want to do the drill mod.. but anyway. I see if I can find a 4mm bolts screw.. if not.. drill time.. (and also have to purchase the 5mm drill to make the hole.

It's the wisest thing to do bro, you're really thinking ahead. When you need to change the drive, the most important thing is the drive key.

Yeap..good suggestion, since basically every console revived officially out of warranty. Hopefully his next mod is 120Gb harddisk upgrade after Elite has been released ( so people can extract those key ). Can't download Virtua Tennis 3 demo. Hard disk full! doh.gif

those always watch pr0n videos always kena first. MS extracts disc info n created an extensive database to pinpoint those that will be affected. the time bomb ticks whenever the user pops in the infected (marked) disc. Where MS engineers randomly selects the disc title, if it matches, there you go. Boom!
Moral of the story: Get HDDVD player and buy HDDVD pr0n... they'd (MS) be pleased and send u free pr0n.

He used both method. For that guy x-clamp replacement solely doesn't work. He had his clamp removed by himself, and probably something happened along the way. Those clamp are hard to remove. He's lucky. It's been revived. Tot's are doing stress test, and he told me that it still works.

I want to confirm cylon's post that elvin828's X360 is finally revived yesterday (21st April, around 9pm). It was done by reheating process and x-clamp replacement method. Took me 2 days to get this hard head baby to breathe on it's own. Ok silencer you can update the list.

Added on April 22, 2007, 2:18 amJust to add, my own X360 is still running well, it's been more than a week now. Really hoping that this will be the permanent solution.

LoL, actually i oso do that. warm up the 360 gently and letting it to cool off b4 shutdown. sweat.gif sweat.gif

really nth much a 360er can do, if the mobo want to flex and blend, it'll flex and blend. maybe some mobo are manufactured by different factories using different materials? there's still plenty of 360s made in oct'05 still working perfectly up to this date.

RM100 = No drilling and cutting off the GPU heatsink.
RM180 = Involves drilling the case and cutting off the GPU heatsink (means more work and time spend).

Guys, my operation using both "drilling" and "without-drill" method has been successful. Please add 1 Xbox360 to the list. Fixed by me, Virgil biggrin.gif

Why i said both method, because the GPU i used the drilling method while the without drill i used it on the CPU heatsink. Both method works fine and i prefer the "without drill" method. More clean and hassle-free.

If you guys need any tips on the method or have questions on any of the parts needed, feel free to PM me or if you want me to fix it, i will be glad to help!

Edited: Somebody has asked me about the difficulty of the operation. So i think this would be useful for those who wanna try fixing it own their own.

The whole operation is actually very easy. You have the right tools, then you are ready to go. The most troublesome part would obviously be drilling the heatsinks and the core holding the motherboard. But if you use the non-drill method (from now on i called it Lawdawg's method), then it would be as easy as ABC. I cant really remember which part of the Lawdawg's method is difficult, seriously. Maybe removing the outer case is hard tongue.gif

so now the 3 rod is already solve.. lol.. so once its fix would the problem come again... i know this still new but just a prediction esp from those who actually do the job... since u guys actually do the fix.. do you think this problem will occur again? one more thing if a newly bought xb360, let say the owner decide to do this fix even if they still not encountering the problem, will this save them from 3rod?

I find it pointless to fix a new 360 which is still under warranty. Wouldnt it be better to send it warranty instead and get a refurbished one? Well this only apply to original consoles...

Maybe just maybe by removing the clamps early, it will prevent from causing stress to both the GPU and CPU chip.. so technically it will prevent 3ROD.. but then.. 3ROD is still Unknown Error and thus other problem may surface from it other than the clamps.

As requested here are the pictures of the parts that i gotten in order to do the whole process..

user posted image
A smaller machine screw (4.8mm, 4mm) can be used to replace the 5mm Machine Screw if you are using the RBJTech (drilling) method. Lawdawgs method will need you to use 5mm x 10mm diameter screw (precise length and width).
All the above parts can be obtained from your nearest hardware store.
Total Cost: RM5 Maximum.

user posted image
I am sure all of you know what this is, thermal compoound remover (comes with 2 bottles) and the Arctic 5 Silver. Get it from your nearest IT store biggrin.gif If you guys have any alcohol, that will just do fine.
Cost: RM25 for Arctic 5 Silver and another RM25 for the thermal remover.

this happen to one of my fren console too (which I'm doing the drilling method that he didn't inform me)

if the cable doens't work.. it means the HaNa or Ana chip is dead or the GPU problem as well

No problem... Its for the Xbox Community afterall, if this can help it grow then i really dont mind helping out.

@mightysmiter - When did you get the white thick lines? Issit when you are playing a game halfway and the lines appear, then once you off-on it, the 1 ROL lights up? I read from the xbox.com forum that one person gotten it and it eventually lead to 3ROL.. Maybe you can try the x-clamp but then i think only use the method as a last resort. If it is still under warranty why dont just exchange it...

hehe, the status of my machine now is its unable to even start, but instead of the 3 ROD i get 1 red flashing light on the lower right quadrant of the rings

im guessing the HaNa/Ana chips Djinn mentioned earlier are busted...or maybe even the GPU coz i already tried it with a friends AV cable...no luck doh.gif

any one here who can fix 1ROD instead of 3ROD?should be 3 times simpler right?lol

Actually if you dont mind speedy work, i can take a look at your console. So if you can leave your console with me for a week, i will remove the x-clamp and see how it goes.

Some info about the x-clamp and how it affects your console into 3ROD biggrin.gif

user posted image

The clamps are used to hold on the heatsinks to the mobo and at the same time it is used to keep the outer metal core to the mobo. So the nut is actually 2 way meaning 1 side of the nut will connect the mobo and the heatsink while another side of the nut will be used to connect the metal outer core to the mobo.

And about the connection of x-clamp to 3rod?

QUOTE
After reading some of the excellent detective work here re the red lights of death and going over the couple of dead consoles here with a microscope, I've come to the conclusion that in most cases the red lights of death is due to a simple design flaw, not to overheating or poor soldering.

We seem to be seeing consoles where the motherboard has flexed and a few of the solder balls or pads have given way at the corner of the CPU or GPU as pointed out by SMTRework and others.

Now why would a motherboard flex?

The answer is the heatsink clamp design.

If you look at the clamp design, *all* of the pressure to hold the heatsink down is in one tiny point. The centre of the X clamp has a plastic 'spacer button' that sits hard against the bottom of the motherboard and that causes all of the stress to push upwards (towards the bottom centre of both the GPU and the CPU.)

What is the reaction to that upward force? the corners of the motherboard flexing in the opposite direction.
Because the motherrboard is not screwed down to the chassis in the areas around the CPU and GPU the natural reaction is for the board to flex downwards slightly because of the pressure in the middle pushing upwards.

When the console gets hot, the solder balls may become slightly softer allowing the board to flex further and the break occurs.

Even if the soldering was perfect the poor design of the heatsink clamps means the corners of the CPU and GPU are going to be under tension.

So perhaps the fix would be to remove the clamps altogether, fit 'screw in' pegs to the chassis and screw down the motherboard and the heatsink so rather than tension being on the board to flex, it is actually encouraged to stay flat. The existing holes in the board where the clamp attached would be ideal.

So extra cooling and other measures may not do squat unless you remove the tension of the giant pimple trying to push up from the bottom.


Source

Hope this clear all your inquiries on the x-clamp replacement method!

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

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. sweat.gif

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!!! thumbup.gif

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

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..

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 tongue.gif )...

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.... sad.gif

















IT WAS BRILLIANT NEWS!!!!!!!! rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif


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

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

Musch respects TOT31!!! notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Great tutorial. Should pin it!  rclxms.gif

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

you only drill the metal plate for the heatsink (or the gpu heatsink) and the casing.. not the motherboard..

Just a small tips for people who are doing the x-clamps on their own,

Please make sure that the heatsink is superbly HOT after you finish the operation. If the heatsink is just warm then you may have put too much of thermal paste resulting in the heat not reaching the heatsinks.

any sifu can enlighten me abit. after removing the x-clamp, did you guys run the console for 2 minutes without the heatsink? according to the LAWDAWG0931 method, this will repair the solder. this is for console already hit by 3ROD.

I manage to fixed another console, this time there is no error or whatsoever but then there is always this thick white lines that appear when you enter a game and then the console hang. So i remove the clamps and did some cleaning up of the mobo, the fans watever i see dust on.... did the in-game stress test for about 3-4 hours, everything is back to normal.

I also have another console with error E74 which i will start operating it later. Hopefully by removing the x-clamps will solve this error too.

There is no problem error. Because it actually boots up fine and at the start, as long as you're in the dashboard, its ok. But then once you get into the game, the thick lines appeared and then the console hanged. So... i cant really check for the error code. Just that if any console have frequent occurence of white thick lines, you will have to be prepared for the worst.

@Bro Silencer - Please treat this as a 3rod error 0020. Cause the "cooking" session cause a 3rod with error 0020 to appear. Thanks.

the x-clamp was actually an ingenious design from MS.
It's actually a timebomb... And they designed them in such a way that it will only 'explode' a year from date of purchase.

would u recommend putting the erasers there just as a precaution? even tho there is no problem with the 360s memory?
so far the longest surviving 360 zombie from the x-clamp fix is apparently a month nod.gif

i dun think the eraser trick will last long. since it's a soft rubber, and inside the console can be really hot.

Bro,

You can add me to the list.

Error 1012, replaced the xclamp with the standard stuff.

A big thanks to Jaylike for providing the place and part no for the screws and washer. That saves me a lot of trip to the hardware store. smile.gif

The whole process is pretty simple like everyone said. There's tons of detailed guides on xbox-scene to guide you through the whole procedure.

I noticed that my xclamp's a bit off center... maybe that's why it's causing it to 3ROD? That shuriken thingy seriously looks like a stupid idea to hold the whole thing together. Maybe they're trying to save a bit of money on the screws and washers?

One question guys, after replacing the xclamp via lawdawg0931's method (non-drill), is it still safe to put it in vertical position since the CPU and GPU's section is not screwed to the metal case anymore? Mine's always in the horizontal mode, so I guess that's a non issue to me.

Can't say for sure but I guess this nails down the most popular issue most people are having with the 360, which is the xclamp. It causes the motherboard to flex around the GPU and Processors area.

However, just bear in mind that this is not the ONLY hardware problem with the 360.

i'd like your opinion on my situation

should i send back my console to Bernard@Gamers Solution to claim warranty, since there's about 5 months left (and possibly wait for god-knows-how-long)

or just get it fixed by tot31 or all you other professionals?

I've tested it with the ultimate stress test, GRAW2 session with silen5er, rayrossi, tonmy for around 9 hours straight. And I turned it on way before that to download some stuff from the marketplace.

The Xbox seems cooler too. Maybe it's caused by the thermal paste. The put like a gunk of it on the gpu and it's everywhere. Took me forever to clean it up.

So I guess it's working all right now. Let's just hope it stays that way. smile.gif

should i send back my console to Bernard@Gamers Solution to claim warranty, since there's about 5 months left (and possibly wait for god-knows-how-long)

or just get it fixed by tot31 or all you other professionals?
*
if its under warranty..ask bernard nicely..how long will it takes and if there is any additional charges...then only make up your mind...as this fix will take less than an hour and if you DIY, will cost u less than RM10....

Oh yeah, just to add. Mine's less than 3 months old, not used that much, but a lot of looooooooooooong gaming hours. Then it died.

IMO, the warranty is pretty much non existent around here. It's either you go down to SG yourself (call them, they'll prepare it in 10 working days [2 weeks] : RM 160++) or you let them send it in for you (1.5 months ++ : RM 250++). If you go down yourself, you won't loose your saved games. If you send it in, they will need the whole package.

If you decided to fix it, cost is around 30++ (if you include the tools and the thermal paste), but you can kiss your warranty bye bye.

It's all up to you. smile.gif Decisions decisions.

My name's Verced, and I'm a warranty voider. Hi guys!

Muchas muchas gracias to all the replies again

and special thanks to verced for the PM.

I think [1.5 months + rm250] compared to [1 hour + rm100(Depending on what you guys charge)] is a much easier decision now.

but i'm just wondering if there's any importance left to the M$ warranty

your warranty only left 5 months... so for me i would not consider much on warranty issue. unless you still got remaining 10months of warranty then it's a different story.

I've tested it with the ultimate stress test, GRAW2 session with silen5er, rayrossi, tonmy for around 9 hours straight. And I turned it on way before that to download some stuff from the marketplace.

The Xbox seems cooler too. Maybe it's caused by the thermal paste. The put like a gunk of it on the gpu and it's everywhere. Took me forever to clean it up.

So I guess it's working all right now. Let's just hope it stays that way. smile.gif

So urs already died and u fix it by xclamp instead of sending it back rite?..

If you were to send in for warranty, will you get an extension?

If you were to send it now, you will get it back in ... erm... let's say around early July. If you're really unlucky, then you xbox might not make it here and they they send it back to SG again (like what happened to Leenaz)

I don't know man, if you're gonna void your warranty, be mentally prepared that it might die. If you're not prepared to accept that, go the long road and send it in to SG.

No worries lar. Like I mentioned earlier, my xclamp a bit senget, that's why it died. If yours is still OK, don't worry about it. I don't think you should hang out in this topic too much. You're worrying over nothing.

Go get GRAW2, join us play that stupid map, then we have tons of things to worry about. smile.gif Just ask Silen5er. 9 hours man!!!! I still can't believe it.

is the best that you send back to the gameshop.

do remember there will be always risk .. the x clamp might .. and I said again might not work on certain condition..

(but from my analysis and others people machine here as well) mostly all error can be fixed via x clamp replacement.

Its not that hard if you have the right tools...

I notice that most of the people who got thick white lines will get 3rol eventually. I fixed a console which is healthy but occasionally get the thick white lines and the hanged... so i did the x-clamp and then the 3rol appeared showing error 0020 (of coz the error just appeared once and be gone forever yawn.gif ).

For those who have experience this thick white lines, it is better to be mentally prepared for the dreadful 3 ROL (not 3ROD anymore).

Erm.. actually i will said that it is really a matter of time to get hit by the 3rol because the x-clamps are designed to pull the nuts and push the chips (which is the soldering of the chips).. so as your xbox360 continues to expand the clamps thru heat... one day the soldering of the chips will be push to such a level that the 3rol appears.

It is smart for them to design it that the heatsinks and the chips are closed together through the clamps but then they discounted the possibilities of the chips being pushed too hard upwards...

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

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.

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 tongue.gif ) 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 brows.gif
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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 laugh.gif )

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 biggrin.gif

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.

i straight squeeze the thermal to the cpu top. laugh.gif 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
biggrin.gif
is best apply using a card like a credit card or ur bonuslink card to spread a thin layer across the core biggrin.gif cheers

it depends on the error code, but most error codes seem to be fixable with replacing the x-clamp.
Virgil did mine in a day..but i dont think rushing would be wise nod.gif
and the way i saw my x-clamps bent, i think its a matter of time before the 360 gets busted again (the heat makes the x-clamps bend, yea they are made of metal so the expand/contract depending on extreme temperatures, thus they press/pull against the motherboard causing the 3ROD or in my case 1ROD to happen)

im not sure about the 1 to 1 exchange...i think it should be a day, just bring ur machine and change for a new one right? laugh.gif

If you have two then did you tried to x-clamp the 1st console which got 3rod? Or the 1st console you exchange it under warranty. If your console is still under warranty, i suggest you bring it to singapore to exchange it for a refurbished one. Just bring it back to M$, they have already troubled us enough with those stupid design flaws and we must not let them escape from it...! Bring it back and give them a nice scolding!! vmad.gif

why don't you operates the 360 yourself? it's pretty easy if you have experience in changing PC motherboard. just make sure to get the screw and washer and thermal paste first before start opening it.

The guys at the shop said it wasn't guaranteed..so i guess i have to resort to the DIY method or send to someone who knows his stuff..So s the 0110 and 0022 error fixable? Sorry ya, kinda new to this.

Hurts like hell to have my xbox die on me.

The guys at the shop said it wasn't guaranteed..so i guess i have to resort to the DIY method or send to someone who knows his stuff..So s the 0110 and 0022 error fixable? Sorry ya, kinda new to this.

Hurts like hell to have my xbox die on me.

If your console is still under the warranty period, then just go ahead and exercise the warranty, the warranty is actually part of the price that you bought the 360 with anyway.... but then you will have to face the hassle of going over to SG. No point voiding the warranty by removing the x-clamps because this method has not been really proved to be the "real" solution of 3rol.

In Xbox-scene there are some case of xclamp survivor consoles go 3ROD again, so its better to warranty first.

When out of warranty only xclamp.

Ok! The record showed only 1 case where the console got 3rol again after removing the x-clamps... So far for those who have gotten 3rol after they removed the x-clamps, their problems have been rectified by the master, RBJTech or Lawdawg (founder of the 2 x-clamps methods).

Most of them was because of the lack of experience in doing the operation so they ended up getting back the 3rol.. thats y through the advice given by the "Masters", they have the problems rectified and manage to remove the 3rol again!

And the console belongs to Vondrake nod.gif

The shop that I usually buy from has altogether 26 units of XBOX 360 with the 3ROD problems, all 26 of them lying on the floor in ICU corner. The boss also pening. I also pity him lah. It is costly to send the console back to the supplier in HK since it's freaking heavy. I guess XBOX 360 is the least profitable console of all, plague with tons of problems. They're much happier selling Wii and PS3 instead. Hahaha.

Hm..26 3ROL consoles... does he wanna fix them all? If he really wants to get rid of them rather than sending it back to HK i can always give him a helping hand by fixing all of it (for a small fee of course). However, he will still have to send it over to PJ so i think it would be kind of a hassle eh...

no la.. just a theory la~.

for example.. you guys using pc or like light bulbs..

which one last longer..

turn on/off everyday...

or turn on 24 hours ..

I'm very sure for light bulbs (those energy savings onces) last longer if you turn it on 24 hours ...

but just a theory.. I can't take responsiblity if your console got 3 Red Rings if turn on 24 hours laugh.gif

nope, hot weather don't think so~. is actually the "on/off" period..

I notice that mostly people got the 3 Rods cause they don't play much (I means like 24 hours on) laugh.gif

LOL that's my theory too. Play at least once every 24 hours to avoid 3ROD! laugh.gif

wuhuhuhu...what should I do?
I'm waiting for my cousin to call microsoft sg,
so the whole process will take quite long,
I'm afraid that I can't make it in time for consoul,
not to forget new gow maps n C&C3....so tempting...
or should i just ask someone to fix it in 1 day?
