Hi Guys,

Thanks for the great tutorial but it seems that I don't have much time to get it fix myself. Wondering if there is any good xbox360 technician to get this done for me?

hard to say, 50/50 ? maybe ? you can ask anybody who already did the x clamp before for more information.

I got a few of them .

So how many of your customer out of the customer you fix came back?
Besides when you get RROD after X-Clamp can you do it again?
*
yes. We can actually do the x-clamp method again, but sooner or later, once the motherboard is wrap to the max, there is no way to wrap it back.

unless you got the right tools. (factory tools that is.)

I wanna ask a question, why does my xbox hang whenever i try to go to my US account. I deleted my US account, and then when i try to recover it, half way it hangs again. Is it any symptoms of 3rod or is it the internet connection? It never hangs during dashboard or gameplay.
*
most cases are the internet connection. Try disconnecting and reconnected again with different IP. (streamyx problem somehow is related to this)

QUOTE(airborne_1944 @ Dec 8 2008, 04:18 PM)
Errr i thought you pro? can fix 360? so if wrap.. is there any other way to fix?
Really dont know how to explain motherboard wrap max?
*
me not pro la. I'm a newbie like you guys.

there is no way to fix the motherboard to wrap itself. (even with the x clamp fix) its just prevention only.

if 3 RROD occurs again, take it out. loosen the screws.. tighten it again and try again.

i know this question got nth to do with the topic...but ust wan to ask...installing ur games on to the HDD can reduce chances of geeting rrod? as in less work for the dvd drive to do...thus release less heat?
*
nope. Works the same only. Just that you don't strain the DVD lens .

This could be the Thermal Paste. Try something different.. Like a bit .. Then not too much..

Yes, its 1 RROD, but it happens like 5 out of 10 starts. And I afraid that it will eventually goes to the full-fledged 3 RROD
*
Actually 1 RROD and 3 RROD almost is the same effect (Except for Error 69 69 and 71, Which is repairable by changing the hdd or update the dashboard)

Double Check your Power Supply . This Error is a Power Supply Error. Check your Cables and Power socket are intact.

power supply as in the outer power socket + power brick? i try to reattach many time, still cant solve..
can u explain the correct way to make sure cables are intact?
*
check your power brick, when it stays and standby mode is orange, try turn on your xbox 360. (make sure everything is in intact) if it turns red, you get a dead brick.

QUOTE(kane_WWE_07 @ Feb 27 2009, 11:52 PM)
So the guy for this fixing is actually just reapplying thermal paste is it? that is the cause of rrod right?
*
not really, 3 RROD can be cause by a lot of things.
