After bench testing for 7 days we have 87 consoles working perfectly with just the RROD Pro Fix

That's all? 7 Days?

Shit wrapping the x360 in a towel for 15-30 minutes, and turning it back on will get you 7 days of working.

You need to do proper stress testing. And much much longer, even a month is not enough, we need a proper fix that lasts at least 90 days or at least a year until the new 720 is released in Oct. 2010.

And what kind of "bench testing" was done, was it the same stupid testing that M$ shit techies did, turn on the system leave it running for 40 days and if it was still working ok the production design.

We all know it is the type of game being played and the stress of normal daily game habit of playing that kills the 360.

All 360's would stay running if never turned off. To do proper bench-testing you need to load in like Forza 2, play a race, and then turn on the replay, and leave it running for 3 to 4 hours, turn off the system wait 3 to 4 hours, and again play Forza 2 for a round, and turn on the replay, leave it running for 3 to 4 hours, turn off the system wait for 3 to 4 hours, and done this one more time again. So in total 3 times per day for at least 3 months is proper stress testing to see if the fix is holding.

If and only if after 3 months of STRESS TESTING, with 100% no failures, would I dare put my name to any kind of fix.

But hey, the old saying is there a sucker born every minute, so my guess is Xecutor will sell alot of them.

The real shame is I bet they read thru the many good public tutorials published right here on this wonderful site by our members free for all to use, and just packaged one of them with their name on it, and without living any credit to the original author and just pocketting all the sucker money they rake in.

Team-Xecutor should be given the "Vendor Hall of Shame Award for 2009" for this money-stealing idea of theirs.

Don't be too sure about that. They are committing brand image suicide at an alarming rate. Out of three pages only one person has praised them so far. Far different then the X3 days.

Another crap product as has been said for 3 Pages , GET A NEW XBOX360 bottom line. I played with my launch model time and time again till i had enough and grabbed a jasper. I tried the last RROD fix from xectuer and can say i still don't understand what it was supposed to due to fix it , The RROD kit from llamma props to them but again just another grab and sell from people testing on here testing different things

The best fix is to replace the box, just as others have stated. The 2nd best fix is to fix it yourself. My V2 xbox has died on me several times now, and each time I have been able to bring it back with minimal effort. What I have done to fix it each time is....

1st RROD: replaced thermal paste, re-used x-clamps, 12-cent fix (actually, added 1 cent to each pad that was already their and taped em down) and toweled for about 5~10mins. lasted about 4 months.
2nd time: removed shell and re-tightened the 8 black screws on the bottom of the 360. lasted for about 2 months
3rd time: same as 2nd and still going strong

It has rrod'ed on me once since then (start out with gfx glitches, reset to rrod), but I traced the issue to overheating, of course, but it was overheating because it was standing upright. set it horizontally and it has yet to act up since then, although it still gets fairly warm still

If it dies again, I plan on stripping it completely down again and replacing the thermal paste, reusing the 4-cent trick and x-clamps, along with heat-gunning it. If it dies after that, then there might not be much hope for it afterwards.

I also fixed the step-kids friends xbox (halo edition) by heat-gunning it, 4-cent fix and replacing the thermal paste, and this xbox even showed signs of water damage inside, and that thing fired right up without issue, and still running just fine (2 months later that is), although I did warn him not to expect it to last long because of the apparent water damage.

I have a REAL hard time with people trying to sell these "fix kits" when a person can fix em yourself for next-to-nothing costs. I have yet to buy one, and I never will. my feelings on re-using the x-clamps has held true for me so far, and I plan on sticking with it.

BGA means Ball Grid Array. It just describes the type of connection between the component (CPU, GPU and RAM for instance) and the PCB.

i have fixed a bunch of rrods with the tutorial on llamma.com. all are still working fine. after the last rrod kit team xecuter came out with, this just seems pointless. i remember reading many posts from people who bought that kit saying how it didnt work any better than any other fix. others were saying they received two of the same screwdrivers.
judging from this thread, it seems people arent impressed with this 'pro' kit. lol. i wonder if team xecuter will read this thread and respond to it, as they did with the first one Here (second post down).
either way, im going to stick with the tut on llamma.com. the parts at lowes cost about $6 and it has proven to be a solid fix. i love the ck3. thats about the only thing team xecuter has done right with the 360. my opinion, of course.

Same here,this fix works well and is cheap!

I'm not going to waste my money on this. I'm already convinced that team HYBRID's fix is way better.

XS Filter - 043008s.com

You can buy the kit if you're a bit lazy for $10, and i bet that Xecuter will put a much higher price tag on their product.

if 7 xboxes out of 100 are not fixed or broke again after this fix it's obviously not good enough

Exactly!!!

I offer repair services in Atlanta and have been using the Homemade version of the HYBRID fix for a couple of months already and only very few customers came back with issues which could mainly be fixed again just by adjusting the screws slightly.
Last month they have finally released the advanced version of the fix which is basically a replacement for the original X-Clamps, an aluminum plate with attached foam pads.
I have ordered a couple of these for my customers and I am confident that their HYBRID will last way longer, than this.
The price for this will obviously be way higher than the 9$ they charge and their testing methods are questionable, every fix out there will fix your console for at least 1 week.
I am pretty sure that they will have copied their fix, at least thats what they would have done if they are smart.

I just thought this had to be said.

Here is a picture of the plates I got from them

What sort of fix are Microsoft applying to RROD'd Xenon/Zephyr/Falcon 360's?

Anything taken from the Jasper design?

lmmfao.....that xbox-experts site banned my username for "Hacking". I've only been on the site 2 times and I don't even know the first thing about hacking. hahaha I couldn't hack my way out of a wet paper bag with a hatchet!

Derfuhrer · « **Reply #40 on:** May 10, 2009, 07:36:00 PM »

The first version of their Red Repair kit was a joke! Even if the problem is a RAM error ie 0110 you need to reflow the solder balls for it to work. Besides the pads were NOT STICKY and were a pain to install. Clearly they never understood what causes Red rings...poor form Team Xecuter

Notice how there are no pictures..what are they really selling? The best fix (apart from BGA re-ball) is a proper reflow and Team Hybrids fix....
