You know what i cant figure out... that microsoft knows about this heat issue .. but it still keeps happening..WTF..that is why i bought a brand new PsP 3 for my kid for Christmas...and it has a Blu-ray built in ..and free on line gaming.what does X-box give u.lol..i will be picking up a x-box used after the holidays ..and mod the chit out of it ..give me a foking break Mr.Gates
Let me Tell yes they do Know about the heat issue
that is why the nex xbox has the gpu and cpu in an all in
one chip now... However we will see how well that works...
I recently revammped mine... I got extended cables and
what i did was mount the dvd player to the outside of the
case The problem is the gpu is SMOTHERED!!!! I mean SMOTHERED BAD!
So what i did Was removed the old heatsync and Replaced it with the
Gen 2 CPU heatsync... Yes the Cpu Heat sync the big aluminum one
I will take a photo of mine and i modded the airtube with ductape and
i have not had a Problem out of mine and My Kid plays the thing
for hours and hours and it is a 2006 model... I will try to upload
some photos!
Plus reorienting the drive outside the box makes it easier to flash!!!
:taz:
just to let you know ,, yesterday i called the 1-800 number for x-box
and spoke to someone regarding the 3 red lights ,, the person at the
other end of the phone couldn't be more helpful and understanding to
the problem ,, it took me all but 5 minutes talking with him to conclude
the he was putting in a request for me to receive a new (refurbished)
xbox360 ,,
my box was manufactured in 2007 ,, i bought it some time in 2008 and
eventhough my warranty had expired i was told that,, in the event of
the 3 red lights, the warrenty was extended to 3 years... i was not even
asked when i bought my unit (even though i am sure they knew from my
registartion) microsoft even paid for the shipping..
their service is excellent and easy ,, so my suggestion is, don't even try
messing around with trying to fix your unit ,,, unless you call them first
cheers

I fixed mine and it's new again. The problem will happen again to you when you get it back. The problem lies in the design of the board. When the xbox heats up the board flexes and the contacts become loose. When you over heat the xbox it reloads the solder. It will fail again. Doing the RROD fix not only puts pressure on the board so that it does not come loose. Those x clamps come loose and hence the joints become loose. Get the bolts and it works soooo much better. Been playing the xbox for 3 years now and no problems. Good luck. Oh by the way I only paid 12 bux for everything.!!!

they are going to send you a refurbed box.... Someone elses that died
and they brought back to life with an xclamp fix that has a failure rate
of 100 % they know about this problem how they fixed it with the
new 360 is they combined the cpu and gpu together and now the
gpu is not smothered by the dvd drive anymore... Needless to say
it is going to fail again.. Of course The people at microsoft were nice
a Smile on their Face as they TWIST it in your Back...
Bahhh Humbug Micro-Morons..... I am not trying to be mean either..
I am telling you the truth..... Believe Me.... All my friends had theirs
sent back several times and Finally they gave them to me and i fixed
them... Believe me the Bolt and washer method is the way to go I also
have done another mod to mine i will tack a photo of it doesn't get
hot anymore.....
