Ok. So i am fixing an xbox for a friend. He had it modded a while ago from some other dude, also had the x-clamp mode done to it. But the tool that x-clamped it didn't put the washers for spacers and just put screws to hold down the heat sinks. On top of that he only put back about 4 of the screws to hold down the mother board and then the 6 for the case.
So now im pretty positive that the mother board is warped form all the heat.
So what is going on now....
I took the 360 apart, re-did the x-clamp and made it right.
Started up the xbox, still got 3 red lights, thought nothing of it and waited for it to overheat so i could re boot it and have it work.
well it never over heated, even after an hour. I put my hand on the GPU heat sink and it was on fire, put my hand on the CPU heat sink... it was just warm. (idk if this means anything but ya...)
So i do the error code thing where you push sync button and eject, but all i get is the 4 red lights... no matter how many times i push the eject button while holding the sync button. BUT if i push the eject button twice really fast, i get only the top left light flashing...........? IDK whats up?
Is this mobo broken?
the screen is just black. no error codes on the tv.
But if i dont have the fans on, or the heat sinks on, the xbox will over heat and throw the 2 red lights and either error 0011 or **12 or **13
any help PLEASE!!!
Thank you.
