not to bring up an almost dead, if not already dead topic, but I would have posted pictures and video a long time ago of us killing my xbox but the day we were going to do it, like an hour before we went to do it, I told my dad lets try one more thing. We changed up how many of the washers we put on and i've gotten i think about 5 days out of it as of now. So, one day if it ever just gives out then I will get to shooting and videotaping it.

Sorry for the ridiculous bump out of nowhere, but for those that were interested, we finally shot the shit out of my xbox.

here's the video:

You've probably either:

a: Bridged a connection or have a cold solder joint on the RAM chips. Possible to fix by properly reflowing. I'd recommend using a heat gun or an oven reflow at that, that is, if you can't get someone with a BGA workstation to reflow it. Just remember to strip the mobo of everything and remove the thermal paste before reflow. I don't recommend unplugging the fans or using the towel trick. These methods work sometimes but you can end up hurting your 360 as it's not that controlled with all the factors that play into it.

or

b: In the process of removing the X-clamps or putting on the heatsinks, you may have damaged some circuit traces (the little lines on the board) between the GPU and RAM chips. Check the board between the two components and make sure there are no deep to medium depth scratches on the board, especially those with copper exposed. Even a tiny scratch can do great damage to those traces. If you do have damaged traces, follow this tutorial to repair them: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=684774

Hope that helps.

.... or..... your "reflow" didn't work and you need proper full professional reflow and/or reball.
