Bit Of A Problem
« on: February 07, 2009, 03:42:00 AM »

I've been trying to fix a 360 that has the RRoD, but I've been failing pretty hard. I tried the Team Xecuter RRoD fix, and that lasted for all of 10 minutes. I think the GPU might be fried... Is that possible? And if so, will replacing it fix the problem?

Did you try lawdawgs fix? The biggest issue I see is people not cleaning the thermal paste off completely. Make sure to use some artic remover or goo gone (make sure to scrub the chips of all the goo gone if you use this method). Then apply a thin layer of thermal paste back on the chips. I say leave out the washers/spacers and just screw the heat sinks directly. I finger tightened all the screws to make sure the heat sinks were level, then covered the unit loosely with the top of the 360 (fan unplugged). Let it bake for 5 mintues (or about a 1 -2 mintues after you get the two lights. Take the lid off, let the unit cool (or put a fan on it) for a good 20 - 30 mintues. Then use a screw driver to barely tighted the screws again. You should be good.
