I have posted this in the above top sticky but thought this may be more appropriate

I have followed the 0102 thread now and done alot of searching etc, the time had come to try this method out

I had three boxes to try to fix for friends and one of my own (think ill keep mine untill last )

Anyway this is what happened i wrapped one in towels and left it turned on untill it cut outwhich did bring some life into the console for about 2hrs then 3 lod so i used the heatgun method warming up the board low,medium 5mins (approx 2.5 mins top & bottom) at each then 3 mins on high heat which was 600 degrees celcius (1100 farenhieght).
The one which showed life after the towel method is still working after 6 days.
Thats the good news out the way.......
Two others which i just went straight into the heatgun method now give me a 0020 error (overheating) i am not sure if i damaged the board etc or solved the 0102 problem and uncovered the 0020 problem, any info or advice on this would be appreciated!
And the last one MINE as i reached the temperature to soften the solder i caught the gpu with the nozzle of the gun and conveniently moved it 30mm off its position i dont put the nozzle that close just accidental, so be careful you have been warned.....p.s anyone want a 360 gpu chip..lol
All were put back together with artic silver 5 and cleaned and primed with artic silver cleaner & primer.

Are the 2 which now show 0020 beyond repair or can anyone recommend what i should try.

I believe this is the case of a faulty chip. 0102 was caused by overheating, terminating the connection between the GPU and board. Once the connection was fixed with the heatgun, you exposed the real problem. Did you try removing the "X" clamps with screw-in types?

"Did you try removing the "X" clamps with screw-in types?"(have i understood you correctly?)

I havent modded the clamping of the heatsinks if this is what you meant?, i do get the red lights as soon as i turn on the console.(doesnt seem to get chance to heat up)!!!!!!

Does this mean there is not a lot i can do to solve this problem?
