I'm still having problem to edit my videos. I think that I will have to reinstall my PC. Vista is gaving me headches with program compatibility.
But I'll post her a photo of my mod made.
Off course I removed the M$ elastomers when I mounted my 360. Now there is just the rubber.
More than 24 hours functioning.

Dammit, it didn't work for me..

Well I'm pretty sure that I fried my GPU doing the Air gun trick last time..

awwwwwwwwww I HATE this console..

I'll try and send it to "advanced" and see if the can replace the gpu with one from another bricked console..

The problem is I'am gonna burn R$450 on this..

I miss the times when we brought a console and never had to worry about it breaking down.................

Anyway, I can also confirm a few reports of people who had sucess with this mod on other brazillian foruns.. Also some of them had the console working just for a shot while..

Well.. it's as they say.. the only thing you have to lose is time...

ahnm.. btw where can I purchase a new motherboard? someone mentioned buying one a few pages back, do those guys ship overseas?

People should take care when trying with a hot gun. The heat must not be applied over the top of the chips (like some videos I have seem) but in their edges, in between the chip and the motherboard, and very, very briefly (few seconds max).

After the rubber pad mod, it continues to be simple dead, not a sign at all? Post more details.

People in UOL are currently reporting 41 success against 4 failures.

BlackOmega, even "Advanced" will use this rubber trick.
With R$ 450 you buy a new motherboard at consolextras.com. Pay to put another GPU on a board that was fried with a hot gun is not a clever thing to do.
More than 40 consoles fixed with this trick.

Does anyone here know some kind of material that have high density (not hard as metal but a little flexible like the eraser rubber) but ALSO TRANSFER HEAT?
I wanna try to substitute rubber with a material that can transfer the heat from the memories to the RF Shield. Doing this we can flex the board to it's original position and cool the memories at the same time.

Better yet a material that is termal conductive but not electrical conductive, like the ceramic thermal paste, only with the density of the rubber.

Cut the centre out of the rubber pad, and put in two thicknesses of a proper gap filler pad inside the rubber... That way you get the hard rubber on the outer edges of the memory (like you said) and thermal heat transfer from the centre of the memory chip ...

I just did it and it worked.

An eraser and a UHU stick. Got the 3RL when first started, then left on for a while. Restarted and it worked. ........ with ONE flaw!!!

The fan noise is very loud ... I mean it is very noisy. Starts out with a hum and suddenly becomes really loud and almost overshadows the sound of the DVD when spinning full blast.

I searched the forums, and I will try to realign the the heatsinks, will update later.

Anyone has an idea on what else to do, especially the guys from Brazil who have been doing this for a while. Please let me know.

The fan is louder cause this mod makes the memory really hot (more then already is) so the x360 puts the fans into 12v mod when detect that the system is very hot

belke · « **Reply #113 on:** March 16, 2007, 07:34:00 PM »

are you still able to plug in a memory card after doing this mod? looked like it was pushing it from the pics.

CaZpeR · « **Reply #114 on:** March 16, 2007, 07:11:00 PM »

This did not work for me.

Tried with 3 different sizes for the rubber, but did not fix the red lights. Next stop here is airgun

That picture is from the motherboard without the screws, just sitting in the inner shell, to show that the pads must elevated it a little. Just a little, the case displayed is quite a drastic one. After you screw the motherboard again, it will be perfect alligned inside the shell, just like normal, but with a pressure over the memories.

Regarding the fans: you may notice the fans are louder if you keep your console open. I think that there are different cases of problems with the 360, the ones I got are not getting that hot, there are closed and only a warm air is coming out from the fans, which are normally loud. But I have a Hitachi drive, which makes the most louder sound I ever heard from a console, so...

Not to toss a wrench into this whole discussion, but it gave me the idea to do this:

and I have been playing GOW and GRAW2 on Live for over 8 hours since doing it!

I posted links to thermal conductive rubber earlier in the thread.
