The "official" X-clamp Replacement Success Thread
« Reply #120 on: January 16, 2008, 04:48:00 AM »
Worked for me. Took a lot of doing. You have to get the alignment of the heatsinks just right, or there is a problem with the join, and something just doesn't work right. At any rate, i just bloted the heatsinks down with 3 small washers and a rubber o-ring. Baked it for a while (tried pretty much every method i could find), but it wasn't working, so i started making small cahnges one at a time, and eventually i found the solution. Yay, now i don't have to shell out for a new one!

Thanks all for the guidence. Im going to try to fix my mates one tomorrow smile.gif

Sorry, a little more info than needed.
Fixed my second 360 using the dawgs method. I had changed my case and for some reason got over heating issues. So I did the fan shroud mod and that worked but my xbox was REALLY loud. So I finally got tired of it and went out today and got what I needed. I can't even hear the fans now. And the air coming out is nice and cool. So it worked FANTASTIC with no problems.

Lawldawg's worked on one system for me, and on another it wasn't enough to reflow the mobo. I have to use Llama's for that. (Same, just put fan over CPU so GPU gets extra hot, let stay w/ 3 red lights for 10-15 min.)

I completed the x-clamp mod yesterday after being dead in the water with 3RLOD.  I have only played about 3 hours since then but so far so good!

XBox fixed using MkIII.

A friend of mine gave me his old Nov '95 Xbox360. It had the rrod with 0020 error code. This was the second time it had it and the warranty was void.

Thanks for the tutorial.

Now my system freezes while playing, I couldn't find how to edit my post.
Scratch me off the success thread for now...  sad.gif

Fixed the 3RLOD. No issues at all now, no freezing, works fine.

MkIII method. Killed motherboard by using wrong tools and pushing too hard when removing the clamps (Do it carefully people!!) A friend fixed it, then i had to let it overheat for 2 mins. because it wouldn't work. Used old AS3 instead of AS5. It's great to see it working again  biggrin.gif Thanx a lot for all the info & support
