Hello Helpful People.
I originally started off with
2 RROD, an overheating issue. I couldn't resolve it so i replaced the Xclamps using this method.
The 1st time i did the fix it worked perfectly for about a
week, of solid 10+ hours a day.
Then i got
2 RROD again, so i took apart my xbox to notice some of my screws were lose and the heatsinks had pulled away from the chips. Turned out i had the wrong screws in and they started to strip the inside of heatsinks so i was unable to tighten them down properly.
I took in the original xclamp bolts to a local hardware shop and they sized them up with some new screws and they matched. Started to mess around with new screws/washers.
Everything was going perfectly with the new repair, untill after i overheated the system... turned it back on i got
Instant 3 RROD
3 RROD code: 0002 Traced it back and there is a problem in the CPU area. it seems i have kind of
scratched some of the motherboard around the screw area's due to repeated tightening and replacing and redoing the entire repair process.

[Sorry for the bad resolution]
I connected the xbox and held down the heatsink with my finger [no screws] and it turned on i had visuals on the screen for afew mins before it overheated, but when i screw it on it goes back to
3 RROD.
I need some professional help with this, i have no knowledge of anything technical, i took electronics back in school. Basic stuff and i didn't pay attention [Facepalm].
I was thinking maybe some kind of
rubber washer?
I have pretty much accepted the worst, But if there is some solution i would be more then glad to hear it.
Also if i am doomed, is there some website i can buy a new motherboard from? or am i better off getting a new xbox.
Awaiting a reply
