good luck fixing that s**t, you do know most RROD's are caused by heat, which cause the motherboard to warp(bend), causing all kinds of chips inside not to make contact with the board, thus usually can'y be fixed using solder, as these chips warp off around 1mm or so, thus can only be fixable using lasers,

but good luck tho

[robin1989]

he could use xclamp or whatever its called

Do you realize people fix these things every single day using washers and screws? There's TONS of tuts on how to do it. You don't need some stupid laser

If you want the best RROD fix tutorial go to llamma. No offence to anyone but they have one good tutorial for this that I have seen work! Here's the tut http://llamma.com/xbox360/repair/ring_of_light_x-clamp_fix.htm

[PspKicks316]

Skull thats the SAME basic tut as the one posted in this 360 section.

[tmandt]

nice deal you got there. now you better hope that the 360 can be fixed

[mav3r1ck]

i recently did rrod fix myself, 32 washers and some machine screws from lowes, i find it kind of ironic how i have to go to LOWES to fix a MICROSOFT piece of electronics lol. its not hard, the most expensive part is the thermal silver, and the most time consuming part is the cleaning of the old thermal paste. great deal man!

[tibor28]

yeah i also got a cheap xbox 360 with RROD and fixed it, that is what inspired talos to get one too, am i right?

[MattZani]

XClamp with a different Heatsink, and some different fans.

hmm, i dont remember where i got the idea, my first plan was to buy a bunc of rrod for like 50 bucks and sell em for liek 200 or sumthing lol, i think that isnt going to happen lol, i might sell this xbox later tho

[i22foosh]

wow nice deal you need some washers and nuts or bolts or whatever to fix the xbox

[Ch4rL13]

i have a cam, if i find it ill contact you :P

[crashman2k7]

While overheating / warping of the mobo is the leading cause of the rrod, it's not the only cause. Any number of hardware issues will cause the rrod. There are a ton of tuts for fixing separated gpus... but there is no tut for fixing the other causes of the rrod. If you're going to buy a rrod console, your best bet would be to at least find out what the error code is, first.
