Title: 0020 After X-clamp Fix
Post by: thepwnage on March 27, 2008, 10:12:00 PM

I belive you are incorrect. 0020 means that the motherboard is flexing too much. Simpe fix, loosen the screws a bit.

It doesn't necessarily mean the board is flexing too much, but there is definitely a short somewhere. Try placing a 1mm washer on each RAM chip under the GPU heatsink, then replace the heatsink, with the appropriate number of washers (most likely 2) it, so it holds the 2 on the RAM in place. This will probably fix your 0020 error, though it doesn't necessarily mean that 0020 comes from the GPU/RAM.

I firmly believe it has to do with a short on the motherboard when the heatsinks are fully applied. The electrical tape I applied was only over the capacitors, not the RAM or anything else, yet when the electrical tape is there and fully tightened, no 0020, but with no electrical tape, 0020.

Also, it was not overtighened, just tightened snug.

0020 could be general GPU power error.

Thats what ive always understood that error to be...

So just try loosening and tightening the screws. It should come up good again.

Even weirder news: received a 360 with 0020, stock X-Clamps, minor cooling mods (nothing harmful; RAM heatsinks, thermal paste, fan shroud). After X-Clamp, works fine, when heatsink is loosened so that it can move roughly 0.2mm, 0020 right away.

Yep, so that pretty much proves the problem is to do with a cold solder connection under one of the chips.

When it comes to chips like the ones in the 360 with BGA solder joints, 0.2mm is a fair way.

I had an error code 0102. I X-Clamped it. Now I'm getting error code 0020.

any ideas what could be doing this?

I made sure the bolts weren't over torqued.

Maybe I put too many washers between the case and the mobo?

Reflow the GPU
