for some reason i feel i´ll see the 3 rl in my 360 soon..
Could someone read this and tell me what i did wrong?..
My system was freezing every now and then... sometimes it freeze at the intro.. others it took 10 min... and after freezing when i restart the system i got the 0102 3rl.
I did this "mod fix".. i replace the X clamp as the tutorial explains.. i used 2 Washers and the first try i didn´t tight the bolts at all... i actually tighten by hand (i was afraid of breaking the cpu/gpu or mobo).
i did the overheating.. wait unitl i got the 2rl.. and then i left it until the psu turned orange (3 min).
My first boot, the system froze at the 360 intro logo.
restarted.. and i got the 3rl.. so what i did was...
i tight the bolts.. this time with the screwdriver..but this time i got the bolts really tight...but still i left some room...
next boot, it booted perfectly... i left it on the Dash for 2hs.. without a problem.
the next day i played a game and after 10 min.. it froze...
same thing.. after 10 min froze... and got the 3rl again.. 0102 code.
this is when i did 2 things..
the towel trick.. and this time i tighten the bolts as hard as i could. really really tight... i didn´t even care if my system break (kidding) but it was really tight...
boot.. and played for 2hs... the next day 4hs.. the next 5hs... until today ...i played 2 more hs... and so far the system is up and running.
so my question is.. what i did wrong... if doing the towel trick was a bad move, how i´m suppose to "melt" or get those solderings solder again?
let keep my finger crossed (IMG:

Somehow I feel it is not a permanent fix ... Anyway, you can try the other X-Clamp removal where the mobo is pressed down to the metal casing to prevent any flexing. My old console was completely dead and i couldn't try the other method (last tried was this method). I tried tightening the bolts, etc. When everything was loosen, I could see my board already bent beyond hope....
