Help repairing a RROD 360 (out of warranty)

5punk3monk3y · 6 Feb 2010 at 19:43

Had a quick google on this and have found loads of guides etc...

But I'm hoping that someone could point me in the direction of a good reliable easy to follow guide. And also if possible an ebay link or something that suplies a decent set of the bits required.

I will be getting the console on monday it's an 05 model

Thanks.

I used that when I did mine, really easy to follow. You don't need a special tool to open the 360 case either, you can do it with a paper clip

You will also need some Torx drivers, a size 8 and 10. I purchased a little multi screwdriver kit from ebay for around £5, great kit. This but in a different layout:

- Preheat oven to 230 degrees C (Gasmark 8)

- Strip the 360 down completely, remove the heat sinks so all you have is the motherboard with all the cores exposed

- Wrap all the capacitors and connectors up in tin foil, leaving the CPU, GPU, RAM and ANA scaler chip exposed

- Put the motherboard in the oven on the middle shelf and wait for 4 minutes

- Remove the motherboard and leave to cool

- Re-apply some Arctic Silver 5 to the CPU and GPU, and re-assemble the xbox (with your chosen washers/whatever, just not x clamp)

Looks like this....

I've revived 5 out of 5 boxes with this method thus far.

LOL!

Aren't they going to marinade it in anything as well?

I've got 3 xboxs to repair, one R74 error that I haven't looked at, one with what I think is an ANA/HANA error that I need to pop in the oven to see if it helps and the 3rd is my own. RROD'd so xclamp fix, lasted 4 months before going again but then I got an R79 error.

Something about the Harddrive, don't think it's fixable
