My 360 boots up with no picture i know its not the cable i ruled that out, there's just no video the sound works fine but there's no red lights on the front will heating the chips up cure my problem. thanx in advance

I've been able to fix almost all of the 360's with this problem with the method outlined above.

hey.
i have the no video problem also with no 3rrod i tried the x-clamp fix and nothing it only works for about 5 to 10 minutes if i let it overheat, so i guess its some solder that is ruined, i've applied pressure on the mentioned chip and it doesn't give me image, so it must be the gpu am i right? it never gave me the e74 error by the way, just lost the reds and after a reset i had sound but blank screen.

thanks in advance

I had the E74 1022 problem and fixed it with the x-clamp and heat gun trick.  But now I have created a new problem and a rather annoying one.  Now the xbox bots up fine and no video problems but now the audio is out of whack.  basically I am getting a buzzing noise kinda like the buzzing sound of an out of frequency radio station.  The buzzing is only affected by bright colors.  The brighter the colors on the screen the louder the noise gets.  Just an example when playing COD4, if a flashbang blows up in my face the sound is very loud and in contrast if the screen is black you can barely hear it.

Now I havent ruled out using a different A/V cable beacuse I havent had a chance to get another one to try.  The first fix I used omn my system was the x-clamp and It would only work for about a week or a few days at a time.  After reading this thread I used the heat gun and it wasn't til after I used this method that I started having the audio problems.

I am wondering what component I may have heated too much and if anyone else has had this kind of problem

Thanks

Hmm thats quite weird looks like anything still wrong.
Must be the scaler chip though as I dont see what else would cause anything depending on the brightness...
I just bought another fucked up E74 360 ...

Are you sure it's not that TV?

This is possible as well but I guess he would have noticed it unless he only uses it to play his 360

I have been getting alot of this lately, and I have already performed the xclamp mod for a RROD I got like 3 months ago. Also getting occasional freezing on top of these graphical lockups. Is this my solution? If so i'll try and use this method if I can get a confirmation. Thanks boss!

What are we supposed to see on this picture?
It is just a white screen.
please describe it a bit better.

[CSamp022]

It's actually a white screen with black bars. I get this a lot right in the middle of a game, the game will lock up and the screen will show this. I know this tutorial doesn't specify this but I followed a link in another thread and this was suppose to be a solution to this problem. I dunno how else to describe it then saying graphical lockdown and freezing...

Sounds like it is scaler-chip related then, I used to have a fucked up display cable in my notebook every second pixel on the screen was black after replacing it it was gone.
So yes you are at the right place this will fix it.

Thanks chief, I'll give it a go!

Gotta love having a heat gun. Dropped 200$ on one for hockey stick purposes, and 3 years later I finally find a second use for it!

[CSamp022]

So I took it all apart, took out the one heat sync, heat gunned both sides and put it back together...booted up gta 4, got further then ever without locking up, and right when it looked like I was in the clear...BAM. Locked up and gave me the image on the TV I got earlier...

Should I try again? Maybe put a bit more heat? I was heating it for about 2 minutes total for both sides on the non highest heat setting.

EDIT: Also, should I redo my thermal paste?

Sorry for my third post but I can't edit my previous ones.

I took out the heat sync again, blasted it with high heat for a solid minute and a half (both sides). I cleaned off my gpu and reapplied thermal paste to it. Booted up fine as usual, but I got another lock up and got that screen again. I don't think this is the fix for it, unless I'm doing something wrong...

Any ideas?

Heat the the GPU, the connections between the GPU and the ANA chip, the RAM chips, blast em till they turn color (goldish yellowish).  Make sure to remove the heat sink first, let everything cool before touching it (or reapplying the paste), and make sure you have those little rubber feet that MS puts on the bottom of the ram chips too...

Yeah nevermind.  I'm a dumbass.  I had the the one of the hd cables in the red slot instead of the normal component cable.  Everything's plugged in correctly now and it works great.  So X-clamp and heat gun did the trick for my E74.

Thanks for the great info everyone
