use plier. that should do the trick

WD-40 solves everything (well..almost everything )

show us pictures of your 'rounded' nut. what did u use until u actually rounded the nut so badly.

Tip: Don't watch Japanese dramas or multi-task something else while performing 'surgery' on your RM1500 next-gen console.

ok guys now my xbox 360 got the 0021 error .. is this error fatal for the xbox or else

hopefully this tips can rescue my xbox360 from 3rod for 2nd time..

hopefully ........ it works...

Stuck up screw on the heatsink?
Easy, just drill it out!
At least that is what i did

Take a look at that site.There are another options to repair 3RLOD.
Cheers

yeah yeah, I am thinking of drill it out next...... before i go and buy the heatsink from USA... Anyone of you have the new heatsink which come with heatpipe? Ar..... I really hope that coolermaster or thermaltake will come out some kind of 100% copper made heatsink for xbox360.

3rd party heatsinks/cooling solutions for the xbox360 would be freagin' awesome.

but then we've got someone who already used a PC watercooling system on the console

I was thinking of getting this new GPU Heatsink.

but when its price go over USD40.00, it seems like ridiculas for me to get one. So, I just go for the cheap one which is only USD3.99.

Yup and been running for two days.... ...non stop

A good guide.

Very brave mission. Can even stop to take pics while doing mission impossible.

Mine have been running for 1 year++ after 3ROD and x-clamp removal...

Yeah Finally i got the stucked screw taken off by asking my uncle who work in metal melting work shop to melt a metal on the screw. Once it is in one piece..... easy for me to take on. My Xbox360 now working flawlessly now!! Yeah, i would like to help others to mod this for money since this mod is cheap and easy! What is the market price for doing this? I am staying in penang.....

i think its somewhere between rm100 to rm150...and they also provide a very good service support if hit by 3rod again.
which part in penang? i might consider to send you my 360 if hit by 3rod.

I like to thank Gurdian to make this guide as i just successfully revived my 3RODed box

I did skip a few parts tho.. the GPU is still on the stock X-clamp, but i've changed the xclamp for the cpu, i know.. i know.. it's the gpu.. but hey.. at least my box is up and running now after wiping off and re-applying the thermal paste for both.. i couldn't find any M5 10mm screws.. all i got here is an M5 25mm M5 fits perfectly onto the stock heatsinks hence i do not need a nut for the other end..

i got 3 cuts on my fingers while opening the damn bloody white cover.. but it's all worth it..

becareful la boss....

ermm whut size is the washer and how thick izzit?
p/s : guys after u guys done doing this fix better do a 70/80 mm fan mod in front of the brown heatsink just cut a hole on the case and screw the pc fans and use an adjustable 5v - 12v ac adapter for the power source.. i strongly recommend u guys do this bcoz the main cause of he redlight is heat.. u can oso do window mod if u want i'll post my case when im done modding it.. still new in this modding world

^ i look forward to the picts of your fan-mod.
