0020 Error Code
« Reply #15 on: March 10, 2007, 08:04:00 PM »

It doesn't matter what the hell you do !!  These 360's are the biggest pile of absolute DOG SHIT !!!! in the world. I have had 0102 a few times 0103 and now finally a friggin 0020. Its all heat and GPU issues and a pure and simple design fault. M$ your product is a BIG PIECE OF CRAP !!!  you rushed it through the design process to get it out there quick. You FAILED !!!  I've got talismoon fans and 12volt mod and CPU 12volt fan on heatsink. It makes NO difference. There is a pure and simple design fault in the console and thats it. We all can try different things here and there which may or may NOT work for a while, but it will eventually stuff up again. The boards warp the X clips are crap, its all to do with getting a comprimise on each console that will make it work longer. Next thing is to cut the bottom of the case out and let the mobo and X clips hang through with no pressure, as a previous post described. Can only keep trying.    muhaha.gif

I've had most success by reheating the chips (heatgun or run without fans) and removing the X clamps altogether and replacing them with a different clamping mechanism that takes the pressure off the centre of the mobo/chips and puts it on the perimeter of the chips and mobo where it should be.

It seems to work well and I haven't had a single glitch doing it that way, whereas the heatgun trick always errored pretty quickly after a brief success.

0020 Error Code

I had the 0020 error recently. The 360 show 3 red ligths flashing.
I open the 360 to try to find out what's happening.
The pictures show the heat sink are not in contact with the processors.

I use a thermal compound (articsilver.com) to replace the original and the problem is solved (at least today is working fine).

Note: Sorry if my english sucks but i hope you can find this useful.

I HAD an 0020. The x-clamp replacement soon put an end to my red lights and I'm comfortable that it is the current most permanent fix.

Read the x-clamp threads twice (yep it's long but worth it) and do it slowly and properly or you'll be back here asking what went wrong.

So you didnt even use heatgun? just replaced those x-clamps? i got 0020 and i have tried heatgun but it doesnt even wakeup after that... i think it is dead but maybe that x-clamps replacement helps?
