I have a new error code!!

If the EEPROM of the x360 HD is missing, faulty, defective or desoldered the XBOX360 gives an error.

original Hitachi HDD = E68 and Section 4 is flashing red // code 1010

60GB Hitachi HDD = Black screen and Section 4 is flashing red // code 1010

i'm so angry

i succeed in correcting my 2 red lights (overheating), when getting of the foil and changing thermal paste.
All be ok but today I've got 3 red light of death, with 0102 error no video on screen.
The GPU radiator is so damn hot!
When i get the radiator of, i get 2 red light error (overheating)

wtf could this error be?

I get 0110 what the hell is that?

Figured it out. Your video memory is overheating. If you opened your case. Then try mounting a fan over top of your memory. I fixed mine last night. I plan on modifying the case so that I can fit my DVD drive back in it though. I've already cut some of my GPU heatsink off and uncovered the other 2 memory chips that was underneath it. I plan on cutting the left over piece of the GPU heatsink that I cutoff into 4 pieces and placing them onto the video memory with some thermal tape.

Good Luck.

Thanks for your help the error code guide has been updated

Starting to think that the 0102 error may be related to the hard drive...

I've been getting the 0102 error with the hard drive connected, I usually have to reboot 20 to 40 times before it loads normally.

However since then I have removed the hard drive and its been booting up with no problems.

I will test it booting it 100 times with and 100 times without the hard drive and let you guys know the results.

[Face]

Ok so I didn't test it 100 times, but 50 times instead.

I had been getting the 0102 error randomly and thought it might have been related to the hard drive.

The first test was to, disconnected the hard drive, and repeatively boot to the dashboard 50 times.
Result: 100% Success

Therefore I assumed it had got to be something to do with the hard drive. I reconnected the hard drive and went into the System > Memory > Hard Drive. Going through each category, I deleted every 'Incomplete Download' indicated by the yellow triangle.

I then tried repeatively booting to the dashboard 50 times. Results: 100% success. Previously (before deleting the incomplete downloads and with the hard drive connected) this would have almost certainly resulted in a 0102 error.

My guess is that after the Spring dashboard update, any previous incomplete downloads would cause problems, occasionally resulting in the 0102 error. This can possibly explain why the console freezes during boot or during an xbox live arcade game.

During boot the console checks for any gamer profiles existing on the hard drive, if it comes across an incomplete download or bad data, it may freeze randomly. This may explain why it can freeze at different points during the boot.

For xbox live arcade games it also makes sense as the console is loading data to and from the hard drive. If it comes across a bad incomplete download it may freeze.

Of course I am guessing here, so this may be complete rubbish.
 
Anyway, so for those of you getting the 0102 error, if you can get it to boot normally, try deleting any 'incomplete downloads' and see if that helps.

If you don't have any incomplete downloads and are getting the 0102 error please also make it clear on this forum.

I have yet to play any games, and I may just be lucky but it seems to be booting more reliably than it was.

I will keep ya posted.

I got a xbox 360 core system from ebay yesturday, and it was geting the 3 red lights (just as the auction said).

Error code : 0102 (did it a few times to make sure at different boots)

It seams asif i fixed it (geting artic silver 5 in the mail in around 3 days from now ).

Here is my story, i took the system down to nothing (includeing takeing heat sinks off), and also i did press down on many of the RAM chips (mainly checking heat and connection, might of been loose not 100% sure)

The first 2 or 3 times i turned it on i got the 0102 error (possible its also got overheating in the unknown part).

after that i got it to boot once, so i rebooted it a few times, every time worked, so i left it on for around 1-1.5 hours and then looked down (was playing counter strike lol) and 3 red lights but fully working in the dash(error 0102 agian). I didnt have a game so i turned it back off and left it.

Today i got a game (Full Auto) and loaded it on my projector (hd and all with VGA input) and used my vga cables and played the game for around 10-15 mins b4 the same error.

Then i figured it must be heat is causeing it so i put a very powerfull fan on it (blowing in the side holes while laying down) and never got the error in 2 hours of solid play. Then i turned off it, and the fan, waited around an hour and turned it back on, same thing 10-15 min of play and that error (never got 2 lights only the 3, 0102).

When i get the Artic Silver 5 in the mail i will install it and tell every one how my luck goes .

Thanks for the great info (if not for you guys, i would never of touched the RAM chips lol)

are you putting artic silver 5 on the ram chips?

No. I've got some video ram heatsinks with thermal tape on them now to disperse the heat. I still need to get the case modified so I can mount a fan over top of them to extract the heat from inside the case.

I dont think the 0102 error is the 360 overheating, as you can boot from cold and get the error. RAM chips will take a while to overheat. CPU and GPU can overheat quickly but that would result in different error codes.

Try what I suggested in my previous posts. I haven't got the error since and thats been 2 days now.

I don't think it has anything to do with the hard drive because when I temporarily fixed my 0102 error code it was after I had taken the heat sinks off and put on Artic Silver.  This worked for a week until it started freezing again.  When it was working I deleted my incomplete downloads and cleared the hard drive cache.  I think 0102 has to be a problem with the GPU or the RAM.

That's what did when I re-did my heatsinks with Artic Silver and then it worked for a week. Then right back to the freezing and 3 red flashing lights. I cooled my GPU ram and haven't had any problems since. Try that. It would flash or freeze even from a cold boot and now it's fine. My error code was 0110 though.

I have 0102 error code and I cant get my xbox 360 to boot I tried everything I have no warranty any idea, btw I already opened my xbox 360 and changed the heatsink paste for CPU & GPU.


any idea?

[twistedsymphony]

Apparently people still don't get it... 0102 is "unknown error"

sometimes it's caused by overheating...

sometimes it's caused by the HDD...

sometimes it's caused by.....

Essentially it means that something is wrong and the console is incapable of identifying the problem

IT COULD BE ANYTHING
