    Default Believe me

    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!!!

    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.!!!

    As said Before,
    It will blow up again and again and AGAIN.... They don't fix it yes
    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.....

    Hey Teris,
    As long as the Thing works... I just know first hand experience
    it will happen again... They don't want to fix it right what they want
    you to do is get so sick of it happening you buy a new one.....
    I wish you the best with it and I surely hope you do not have it
    again... Its a Pain in the Rear when that happens... Have a great
    New Year
