It Works It Works It Works
Thank you so much...........

Just hoping it stays this way for a long time to come.Don't want to do the xclamp replacement thing... this was a task in itself for me.
Anyway thanks again. Will report back.. (hopefully with positive news)

It has worked for a few days but ROD came back after 1 week...

mistergg try using something else other than eraser rubber, like i said in other posts in this thread i tried eraser rubber twice, and it broke down after about a week ROD came back. So i tried something else like rubber from your shoes. You can buy replacement heals real cheap, just cut the same shapes as if you where cuting from a eraser, and stick those on the memory chips.
My 360 as been rocking and rolling 4 months now since i did the fix no red light

well this is strange. I'm new here and I only started posting here yesterday, when my 360 started to red light me.

While taking everything appart for an X-Clamp fix I noticed 4 odd pads on the bottom of my motherboard.

I thought everybody had them. But apparently not?! What's even odder is that I won this console in a Pepsi contest so how is it that it already has these pads installed?

However these pads aren't made of eraser, they are some sort of soft material. Below are a few close ups.

Has anybody seen this on their 360 (already done for them)

nevermind, I read else where that apparently these pads were added by MS after March 2006.

gamesfreak · « **Reply #260 on:** September 04, 2007, 01:44:00 PM »

Dont worry, as im sure you have read it was there on all 360's post a particular month in 06.
Anyway i hope the method worked for you. Its been 4 days since i did it, and it seems fine to me.

nukeme · « **Reply #261 on:** September 04, 2007, 03:18:00 PM »

Those MS pads are just about useless, i also hard those in my 360, they just don't keep the motherboard in place, the heat from the gpu and cpu warps the motherboard, so you need something alot harder to keep the motherboard in place like eraser rubber but that only works for so long so find some harder rubber.

Hello

I tried some rubber but as it has only works for a few weeks, I used the xclamp replacement.
It has work for 2 weeks and now I don't have any ROD but the console freezes often or stars with some ugly colors (as if it was in 256 colors...)
Console opened, fan dirtectly towards the console to make it work correctly...

Will try something else in a few weeks.

Nukeme, have you sometimes some color problems (consle is working but as it was only a 256 colors) ?

i will try some rubber. For now, I have done the xclamp replacement a few weeks ago and have colors proble sometimes when the console is too hot.

No, not had any colour probs. I also fitted 2 80mm pc fans to the back of the console with external 12v to them sucking air out and its also sitting on a laptop cooler which it takes its power from the usb port on the 360.

I actually came up with the same idea to fix it, and it worked and is still working for me. =)

Tim46 · « **Reply #265 on:** March 24, 2008, 09:59:00 AM »

I did the x-clamp but now I have no picture. What can I try?
I put washers on and tried more and less and still no pic
I put paste on the chips and installed the h/s but no luck

Praetor77 · « **Reply #266 on:** March 25, 2008, 10:06:00 AM »

Tim46, why don´t you post that in teh corresponding thread (RJBTech´s or Lawdaq´s X-clamp method).

Regarding the rubber fix, I would like to know how long have all the people who posted sucess stories with this method had their XBOXes running?

Has anyone else tried with water faucet rubbers?

Search for the thread about it. You'll have to break out a heatgun.

No matter how good you cool it. The 3RROD will comeback!!!!!.

You cant cool it any better then i did. I had it good for a month and still came back. anotther time was a week and came back even a day and came back. Runs cool too. I have copper heatsinks on the memory chips so cant get any better then that. Plus Arctic Silver 5 on both GPU and CPU with X-clamp fix. NEED I SAY MORE?

Well thats just natural because the heat is only one of the 3 reasons why 360s break...
If you want to know why yours broke again read this http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=655662
