3 Red Lights Heat Gun Fix Questions..
« on: December 30, 2006, 04:53:00 AM »
Note: I am on dialup so downloading the Youtube video is not a realistic option unless it is under 20MB...

I have a couple of ring of death consoles that are out of warranty (both sealed unmolested).

I have a good gun I use on XBOX 1s no problem and understand the reflow principle.

Questions:

Has anyone narrowed it down to one of the chips i.e GPU or CPU?
Or is the fix just a general heating of all the major components in a one size fits all type of "fix"?

I'm gonna do it over the weekend and try the GPU 1st, but wanted some input.

Thanks,

PimpleX

The video I saw he was heating up just the gpu and ramsinks on the front and back for 2 minutes on low, then switched over to high and just did the front gpu and fsb chips, in a circular pattern.  It worked fine for me.... for a few days  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
