But ive heard some rumours flying around that this heatgun fix might only be a temporary fix and that it could start red lighting again. I was hoping to get some other peoples "REAL" experiences in regards to the heatgun method. ie. If your heatgun fix was successful has it failed since? and if so how long did it take? and if it hasn't failed and still going strong, how long has it been going for?

ok, what is the heat gun fix for?
Tell me your kidding, have you not seen or heard of the heat gun fix to fix error 0102? Basically you cover some of the smaller components and plastics bits on the mobo then use the heatgun to heat up the solder on the mobo and it should reattach any of the loose solder joints.

i did 5min
don't put to much paste !!
good luck!
p.s. you need time to dry those paste !!
Important Reminder:
Due to the unique shape and sizes of the particles in Arctic Silver 5's conductive matrix, it will take a up to 200 hours and several thermal cycles to achieve maximum particle to particle thermal conduction and for the heatsink to CPU interface to reach maximum conductivity. (This period will be longer in a system without a fan on the heatsink or with a low speed fan on the heatsink.) On systems measuring actual internal core temperatures via the CPU's internal diode, the measured temperature will often drop 2C to 5C over this "break-in" period. This break-in will occur during the normal use of the computer as long as the computer is turned off from time to time and the interface is allowed to cool to room temperature. Once the break-in is complete, the computer can be left on if desired.

no, i havent heard of it. that is the n00biest way to fix that problem, its not that hard to look over the board for dry or lose joint, then just give it a touch with the solderign iron. i fix tv's and vcr's and dvd's all the time with dry joints, and thats the best way to do it

Yeah cause its easy to resolder 100s of tiny points that are between the board and the chip that u cannot see. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) The error is caused by bad solder joints in the memory. They use bga solder balls and then put it in an oven to let the solder melt and connect. Problem is that bad joints are very commom in earlier consoles.

But I'm a monster at soldering, I do it very well, so yeah. And I hope the best to you guy's 360, and MS needs to use better quality solder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
first post... but this site is awesome. ima look over lots when i modify my 360.
thanks ppl.

this is the video that i used. I did exactly what was in this video. 2 min on low. 2 min on high.
i wasn't getting any error codes. my 360 just wouldn't boot. and just flashed 3 red lights.
