Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
 

i would, if mine had the HDMI output. i feel as though i have been gypt. because they all have them now.

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
 

All 360's have the HDMI output. Early ones without a cable/port simply wire it.

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
 

Huh?

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
 

Forget it. If your 360 is so old as to lack the hdmi port then just wire a VGA cable to it, or buy one for like $10.

Oh and as a note I just had to tear this 360 down remount the heatsinks and heat it with a heat gun to resoilder the cracked joints. No biggie, easy 3-red light hardware failure code 0102 fix.

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
 

ok, so talking about this earlier ------- hexed me or something. i went to start up my 360 today, after 3 days of not playing it, and i get the 3 red lights. muther fuckers!! i'm so pissed. i just put points on my gamertag to d/l new gh3 song.
so how can i do a temporary fix? rap it in a blanket you say??

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
 

360's sound sweet... :l

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
 

hell yeah they do.


i would be weary of ---- en putting a heat gun and blasting temperature sensitive components.

or, you could do this. submerge the whole ---- en thing in a tank of mineral oil. without the drives and whatnot touching. it will work i swear.



no really. everything but anything that moves. so basically extent the dvd rom outside and with an external sata cable, dunk that ---- in a tank to about where the hd goes.

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
 

ya don't do that. first find out the hardware failure.
when the 3 red lights come on, hold sync and hit the eject button to show the 4 digit fault code.

And the towel trick is ------- stupid. Take a heatgun or atleast a hair dryer and heat it manually to keep the chips cooler. ONLY do that for poor solder joints (fault 0102)

Keep the gun moving and pre-heat the entire board for a minute. Then slow down over wher-ever the fault area lays. (generally the GPU / GPU ram chips) When it turns pretty hot, stop, put it under a fan until it's cool to the touch (15min) or 30-45 min with no fan.

Re: Xbox 360 ring of death
 

this is pretty lame.

i bet you the percentage of red rings grows to how they mount the damn thing.

i need to look at my buddies. he has tw halo editions and well... ill see how much cooling this sob takes.
