Thanks for the tut!
I did this and it got rid of the flashing red ring.. but now I'm stuck at the purple screen of update failed
Hopefully I can get it working soon!!

Ive already tried the methods in the purple screen of death thread with no luck

There is pretty much nothing that you can do without a heatgun, the hairdryer will only reconnect it temporarily...

And yes the no video+ no sound error can be fixed with this method, however it can also be caused by a cold solder joint below the GPU so try the X-Clamp fix first before hitting your board with the heatgun...

Thanks Wilhelm. I thought not having sound might be some other problem as I've only seen no video, but still good sound.

The traces for the sound are also between the GPU and anachip so it is pretty much the same thing...
If there is no video but sound it will more likely be a GPU problem though.

i have a 0002 after performing the x clamp on both cpu n gpu...when i switch it on the fans spin for 2-3 seconds and then gone and the drive dnt eject either? if i use the heatgun method or the oven method will this solve my problem anyone?

It might you have to reflow the ethernet chip.
Use the heatgun it is better because you only heat up what you want to reflow(the ethernet chip) and not everything.
Both methods are risky if you dont know what you are doing but the oven trick is way more risky...

*EDIT*
It rather sounds like a Southbridge issue actually because the drive doesnt eject either so concentrate on the area around the Southbridge.

[rikz112]

where is the southbridge what is it? is it that ting with the round silver bit behind here u put the av bit?! i aint that technical with computers ms wont cover me under warrenty so i had no choice but to try the x clamp which i thought went well however its been in this 0002 code for week now im so frustrated need to get it working!! the power brick light is for a sec green then stays orange?? please somebody help me!!! how can i sort this problem?

[Wilhelm_I]

The silver one labeled XSB is the Southbridge

This one might actually even work if it is GPU related...
There is one that is even funnier. A dude tips the ana-chip with his finger and after that it works again, like a magician

Did you try holding the wireless sync button and the power button while the 360 turned on...?

I had a console with e74 and I heat gunned the bottom only and it didn't fix it so I heatgunned the top (around the gpu and ana chip with tin foil around everything else) and now I am getting error 0102.  What did I do???

You fixed the E74, looks like your GPU still has a cold jolder joint somewhere.
This error can be fixed with the X-Clamp replacement.
After that you should be fine

I have tried the xclamp.. too tight and I get 0020 so I loosen them a little and I get 0102.  Is it possible that there is a cold solder joint somewhere else on the motherboard other than the gpu with this error?  Thanks wilhelm

Hmmm 0020 is a bit problematic, a lot of people assume that the 360 shows it when the GPU/CPU doesnt get clean power due to a missing/loose capacitor. However it might also be the case that you got a cold solder joint, then you tighten the screws and it bridges another solderball and shows 0020. However you might also have fixed the 0102 and the cause for the 0020 is not a bridged solder joint, so make sure that all the capacitors on top of GPU and CPU are okay and check the the big caps for cold solder joints.

If the last 2 things arent the cause you will have to get your GPU reballed...

1. Test the console on the same TV at the same resolution using different AV cables ...DID THIS, DIDNT WORK...

2. Test the console on a different TV with the Same cables running at the same resolution...DID THIS, DIDNT WORK EITHER...

3. Test a different Xbox 360 on the same TV with the Same cables...DID THIS, THE OTHER 360 WORKED PERFECT WITH THE SAME CABLES...

I tried the steps suggested in the "Sticky", and these are my answers...

Summary of what i've done: Bought broken 360, had 2 red lights (overheating)...upon opening the xbox, one of the 2 fans arent working (reason for overheating)...while i had it open, i did the clamp fix on both CPU and GPU, put back together (partially, enough to work and plug in)...i had unplugged the black dvd cable from the motherboard by mistake, when i started the 360, i got error code on screen of E 64 (dvd error)...found and plugged it back in...now when i start it, i get all green lights, but i get NO audio, NO video, and just a black screen on the TV...

any suggestions as to why it will thro up a code error ( E 64 ) and everything is visible on the TV, but after i plug in the DVD rom, i get nothing on the TV...please help, i know you guys have seen this before..

Thanks in advance
