nice. so far so good with ur 360?

yup still excellent

hm.. looks like those "mushroom" type of nylon washer~... and kinda familiar... where did I See ah...

familiar ka... then get this washer sure good for fix 3 rod

Yo guys... my console kee hanging after 10 minutes of gameplay, I have re-applied the thermal paste and tighthen the screws. No red though, any tip??

dont try tighten to much bro... maybe ur gpu not balance while u tighten it...

i kinda konfuse here,as im not an electronic stuff guy.
why do u need to do the o/heating trick to melt the gpu/cpu solder connection?
is it just because to ensure the thermal paste thermally in contact with the heatsinks?

the GPU got "cold joints" so you need the trick to "melt it" to make it contact to the motherboard.

but if the joints cacat, no matter how many times you "overcook" you still won't be able to revive it.

ya i got one set like that. 10sec console

Ooo..so its like that..
i'm doing my overcook tis nite..hope that it'll comes alive with 5 mins o/cook..
can i exchange motherboards only? will it be playable?

you can exchange the mobo (if the technician have spare) and as well as the technician must now "the key" (the drive firmware) and match it back on your mobo.

i see,but the key is in the dvd drive rite? i'm done with the overcooking,when i switch on, all red blinking 5mins not stopping..

Hey SinaranX, I'm putting up the reply to ur PM here so in case someone else has the same questions as you, they'd have a reference:



it's not really advisable.

the thermal gunk that M$ uses is of inferior quality. Although it isn't the sole cause of the 3ROD in the first place, it's always good practice to clean off the mess and put in a fresh layer of good quality thermal paste.

to ensure to get the right flex to make it work.

i did it again last 3 day, changed the screws to white plastic type,but this time only worked for an hour half..but when i touch the heatsink,damn hot..even with fan blowing right at it.. but i noticed that the red color starts to fade before freeze and Rrod

"The Texture of ... er. ... where are you trying to bring me? ?
