How does this thing work?

[Johnwinger]

LMAO

A torque screwdriver along with a package of screws and washers....


So that's the secret!!

[metalcoat]

Still doesn't say how it works.

[chocolatecheese]

Looks a little sketchy.

That isn't just screws and screwdrivers, it also has a special heatsink.

"The kit comprises of specially formulated heatsinks which solve most issues that cause the RROD. Of course it cannot be guaranteed that this will work for your console as there are other reasons for the RROD - however this fix has cured almost every one we have come across. It's so cheap that it's crazy not to give it a try."

Or if you weren't retarded enough to open your xbox already you can have MS fix it for free guaranteed, at least for a few more months.  After the warranty runs out people will have to use something like this.  And yeah the new box from MS might ROD as well after time, but at least it got fixed for free and you didn't have to worry about spending money on something that might not fix your xbox

How many people do you think installed drive firmware and then RROD'd? Thousands. How many installed new fans and RROD'd? Thousands. Replacement cases and mods? Thousands.

There is a ready made market for a cheap, off the shelf product. This fills that market (if it works). In fact even if the results are patchy at best it will still sell loads.

Why the secrecy? I mean show the product. Xecuter has come up with some good products in the past that I have even purchase. There are times when a company can sell knowledge and times when they should share knowledge freely. This is a time where they should have just posted their findings to help the community that has made them money in the past. Doing this would have gained them a lot more respect in my mind.

Well I don't see how a heatsink is going to fix the issue unless it replaces the xclamp on the bottom or something.  The RROD isn't just fixed by better cooling.  I just had a customer who brought in his 360, RROD and it sat in the car in the cold Ontario winter all night.  If it was just a heat issue, his box should have worked as it was frozen but still RROD as soon as I plugged it in.  The micro fractures to the traces, board, bga grid, whatever need to be snapped/bent/flowed back into place and then some better cooling to allow it to not overheat so much but adding a new heatsink isn't going to accomplish any of that. unless it screws onto the bottom of the board where the xclamps are.

Majority of the time it is a heat issue. It gets really hot by the GPU and/or CPU and causes the solder joints to come loose. Installing the new heatsink and removing xclamps, then applying some heat via a heat gun to the GPU and CPU to reseat the solder will fix it.

Everyone just needs to be patient and quit bashing a product that they have no idea will work or not, at least until proven otherwise.  Xecuter has delivered in the past and I see no reason for them to not do that here.  Ask yourself this, as a business, if Xecuter revealed as to what comes in the package in advance, and these are items that can be picked up locally, no one or at least very little would buy their product.  They are a business after all and they NEED to make a profit.  The fact that they are offering a way to either temorarily or permanantly fix this RROD is a great idea.  Xecuter has a pretty reputable history do they not?

I can certainly understand the hesitation and maybe frusteration for those who want everything revealed but there has to be some give and take here is all I am saying.  I will await patiently and see what comes of this.  

[grim_d]

still doesnt show what it is, this is a joke.

if it does come with a heatsink (in the bag i would assume) then it looks about the size of the southbridge, which solves nothing.

unless of course those torx drivers are MASSIVE.

 The RRoD is cause by heat related problems, but that's not to say that RRoD = overheating. In fact, 2 red lights (top & bottom left; flashing) means the system has overheated. RRoD refers to 3 lights flashing. There's also the bad solder connections that need to be reflown when you're doing a RRoD repair.

 These problems *can* be blamed on heat, however. The more heat you have output, the more likely the board and those flimsy x-clamps are to flex, causing connections to break.

 I can't recall Xecuter ever being so secretive about anything. If they show everything to be stuff I can buy locally, what's the difference if I know that now or when they launch? I'll still just go buy the parts if I want to. Them being so suspiciously secretive just further convinces me that their product would be a waste of my money, since it'll all boil down to "just get these parts".

 I'll put it this way, I'm not the guy that buys a $60 HDMI cable from Circuit City. Instead, I go on the internet and get it for about $5 (same quality).

3RLoD covers a broad spectrum of errors as THIS post shows.

I have a 360 here with error 0002 (network interface problem) i doubt it will fix that.
I bet all the consoles this screw kit has been tested on had error 0102 or similar GPU heat issues.
So to call it a 3RLoD fix is a bit misleading.

Team Xecuter should be more specific on what errors it will fix & what it wont or theres gonna be some unhappy people.
