Or if you weren't retarded enough to open your xbox already you can have MS fix it for free guaranteed, at least for a few more months. After the warranty runs out people will have to use something like this. And yeah the new box from MS might ROD as well after time, but at least it got fixed for free and you didn't have to worry about spending money on something that might not fix your xbox
How many people do you think installed drive firmware and then RROD'd? Thousands. How many installed new fans and RROD'd? Thousands. Replacement cases and mods? Thousands.
There is a ready made market for a cheap, off the shelf product. This fills that market (if it works). In fact even if the results are patchy at best it will still sell loads.

Why the secrecy? I mean show the product. Xecuter has come up with some good products in the past that I have even purchase. There are times when a company can sell knowledge and times when they should share knowledge freely. This is a time where they should have just posted their findings to help the community that has made them money in the past. Doing this would have gained them a lot more respect in my mind.

Post by: grim_d on March 28, 2008, 12:51:00 PM
if it does come with a heatsink (in the bag i would assume) then it looks about the size of the southbridge, which solves nothing.
unless of course those torx drivers are MASSIVE.

Well I don't see how a heatsink is going to fix the issue unless it replaces the xclamp on the bottom or something. The RROD isn't just fixed by better cooling. I just had a customer who brought in his 360, RROD and it sat in the car in the cold Ontario winter all night. If it was just a heat issue, his box should have worked as it was frozen but still RROD as soon as I plugged it in. The micro fractures to the traces, board, bga grid, whatever need to be snapped/bent/flowed back into place and then some better cooling to allow it to not overheat so much but adding a new heatsink isn't going to accomplish any of that. unless it screws onto the bottom of the board where the xclamps are.
The RRoD is cause by heat related problems, but that's not to say that RRoD = overheating. In fact, 2 red lights (top & bottom left; flashing) means the system has overheated. RRoD refers to 3 lights flashing. There's also the bad solder connections that need to be reflown when you're doing a RRoD repair.
These problems *can* be blamed on heat, however. The more heat you have output, the more likely the board and those flimsy x-clamps are to flex, causing connections to break.

Everyone just needs to be patient and quit bashing a product that they have no idea will work or not, at least until proven otherwise. Xecuter has delivered in the past and I see no reason for them to not do that here. Ask yourself this, as a business, if Xecuter revealed as to what comes in the package in advance, and these are items that can be picked up locally, no one or at least very little would buy their product. They are a business after all and they NEED to make a profit. The fact that they are offering a way to either temorarily or permanantly fix this RROD is a great idea. Xecuter has a pretty reputable history do they not?
I can certainly understand the hesitation and maybe frusteration for those who want everything revealed but there has to be some give and take here is all I am saying. I will await patiently and see what comes of this.
I can't recall Xecuter ever being so secretive about anything. If they show everything to be stuff I can buy locally, what's the difference if I know that now or when they launch? I'll still just go buy the parts if I want to. Them being so suspiciously secretive just further convinces me that their product would be a waste of my money, since it'll all boil down to "just get these parts".
I'll put it this way, I'm not the guy that buys a $60 HDMI cable from Circuit City. Instead, I go on the internet and get it for about $5 (same quality).
Post by: slimgrip on March 28, 2008, 12:26:00 PM
I have a 360 here with error 0002 (network interface problem) i doubt it will fix that.
I bet all the consoles this screw kit has been tested on had error 0102 or similar GPU heat issues.
So to call it a 3RLoD fix is a bit misleading.
Team Xecuter should be more specific on what errors it will fix & what it wont or theres gonna be some unhappy people.

They aren't making money like they used to with the Xbox1, since the XBOX 360 does not have any hardware mod chips as of yet. The only product they have for the 360 is the Blaster, which is a DVD drive connection kit. They can not possibly be making the same money now that they did with their Mod Chips.
So now, they had a "10 minute idea" and they said to eachother, "this is really simple, lets make it into a kit. But, since it is so basic, if we publish details or show pictures of the kit, it would be cloned and a how-to guide would be posted on Xbox-Scene within a week."
Basically they are expecting to make a decent amount of money from the initial sales, keeping it hidden so that people dont realize they can do the same thing with a hunk of metal, two pennies and some tooth paste.
okay.. maybe I am bending the truth alittle. But, once people realize they can do it themselves, they not buy from Xecuter.

Post by: psilo357 on March 28, 2008, 04:10:00 PM
For less then 10 bucks it is definitely worth it for me to buy it and not go out and get the parts and make the kit myself. It would take me at least 30 minutes to go to the hardware store, find the parts, check them out, and bring them home. My 30 minutes is worth much more than 10 dollars...I am already on the computer at work, might as well order it, have it delivered, and not waste my time finding thin copper sheets, small heatsinks, or whatever it is. I'm also the guy that buys my parts for the cheapest possible, as a combination of time and money. Hence why I buy my HDMI cables online like another poster said, and will probably buy this kit.
And anybody that gets pissed off because this doesn't fix their problem, is an idiot, plain and simple. Xecuter themselves said it will not fix all consoles with the RRoD problem. They also said it fixed MOST of they xboxes they tried it on, not all.
peace

Price is not the issue - i simply think they're just "having fun" letting ppl imagine what's in the bag ...
If they're not releasing the images so that ppl purchase blindly - then they make it look like they don't have a lot of trust in the product! If they simply show what they're talking about properly, and tell their customers to trust them due to their track record and all I believe it would make a better impact. But yeah - it's cheap so "desperate" ppl will simply order it!

Which translates to whatever you want it to be. For all we know they only tried it on 3 Xboxes and got only 2 to work. Xecuter is using a creative marketing spin to sell as much as they can while they can. They are playing off of everyone's doubt...Will it work? Will it not work? It's only $10. The real idiots are anyone who doesn't realize that.
Personally I doubt this would be any more effective then the towel trick.

so like others have said, why be so discreet? they have an excellent history and record, and normally, they would be proud to show off a new product. why keep us in the dark?
is it because without the need for 360 modchips, their days are slowing? are they getting desperate?
another point... i think its shitty that the retailers that are going to sell this product would even allow this type of thing. i know its a little early to tell right now, but if i were one of these stores, i wouldnt wanna sell anything unless my customers know exactly what they were getting.
at first, i thought "maybe theyre just fking with us and its something great!"
but lets face it, for $10, it cant be any kind of miracle.
or..maybe its a fked up April fools day joke!

yeah, i've got a similar situation, and was thinking the same thing. i guess once the veil of secrecy is gone and i can see what the kit actually is, and i see a price, i'll make a decision on if i want to give a try.

It has to be more than just thermal compound replacement because that doesn't work well with already rrod'd consoles, just prevents them.

You know what, I bet you're right! I never made the connection:
-Tons of posts in the eraser mod thread talking about how well/often it works
-Ideas about using heatsinks instead, finding the right size, materials, etc
-xecuter saying you can "probably make this yourself" and "All I've done is made it to an exact spec"
-The fact that it took "more like 10 minutes" to develop
-Isn't thermal paste, x-clamps or screws
The more you think about it, the more right that sounds.
If nothing else that is an excellent guess.

Half of you people have no fuxing idea what you're talking about. "Two lights just means it overheated.", "Why not just have MS fix it?", "How many people installed new FANS and got a RROD?", "Mmmm...I ate a big red candle."
I've honestly never heard so many people try to sound so authorative with as little information to go off of.
Yippie! A different heatsink. Good idea? You bet. Necessicary? I highly doubt it.
Look...your RROD basically comes in two flavours - Fuxed CPU/GPU, or something totally unrelated. The first one is fixable, the second...not so much. I did the heatgun/thermal paste/xclamp/12v Fan mods to fix my box, and it works perfectly, (okay, so the fan's a bit louder, but I'm gonna be getting a Talismoon fan soon) and has for over five months now.
Point is...it makes me sad that so many people are so ill-informed. This is a neat idea, but I fear that stupid people are going to be buying it for the wrong reasons, or botching their boxes even worse with this
Personally, I think that if you can't comprehend why your xbox is breaking...you have absolutely no business trying to open the thing up and fix it.
Period.

I agree completely with you. So why did you heatgun your 360??
Seems to me you described yourself in the post perfectly.
You are just another example of "an ill informed person" applying all sorts of bodges to fashion some sort of working box, so please don't come on here pretending you know the ins and outs and what is required and then tell us you heated the board with a flame thrower and squeezed up a BGA component to cure an issue that needs a re-ball.
Now I am not against people trying to get their box working if they have no warranty on it but you just pulled half them to pieces and then admitted you do exactly the same thing

Then they go and admit they don't have it in stock. And they have a rather dubious "Customer Review" who apparently has bought and fitted his kit before they even got stock. Impressive.

hehe yeah, most bandaid fix might work for a while but there no permanent solution, this is why im desperate to see their kit real pics
best solution so far is bust out a dremmel kit and add an intake fan on top of the cpu, it will cool the gpu if it has a heatpipe. the rf shield plate is awefull for the 360 and i recomend people remove it.

I've exhausted my time and patience trying to fix my Xbox 360 using the fixes around here.
The X-Clamp fix lasted for one year. Now, even with new thermal paste (MX-2, better than AS5) and all the tweaking and band-aid patches, it'll only last for two minutes, then freeze. Sometimes, it'll power on and show the 0102 error (for I don't know how many times, lost track).
I'm willing to spend another $10 + shipping to see if this really works. It is Team Executer after all.

Have 1 here never been opened, seal intact. Was going to send it back to MS. 3-4 week turnaround usually so I though screw it I'll try the kit. Done X-clamp a few times and it works a charm on those I've done (all warranty voided so no harm no foul). This could have went back to MS or been fixed by X-clamp ages ago.
I'm annoyed that the site still shows stock expected <10th. An e-mail with an up-to-date E.T.A might have been nice.

I had secondary error code 0102 and I'm pleased as hell. It's been a door stop for months on end (although that was partially self inflicted as I had lots of work and didn't need the extra distraction on top of my Wii) and now it's a working console! For a while at least.
I was just about to come on here and moan but I tested my code again and realised my DVD wasn't seated properly! So I was sooooo happy when it had actually worked.
Right now my problem is what game do I play?!?! Halo, Bioshock, Orange Box, Mass Effect, Rez HD, PGR3..... the list goes on. My girlfriend and my boss are going to hate it.

I do have a feeling however, that people are doing this wrong. My guess would be that you put the pads under the center of the X clamps (between the X clamp and the motherboard), and put the other 2 on the RAM chips under the GPU heatsink. It makes a lot more sense to me, and would probably be a lot more effective, though of course, most likely temporary. There are no official instructions, so this is of course a guess. How thick are the pads? If they're 1mm, then my guess should work better, if they're 2mm, then keep them under your RAM chips, and wait for the 3 red lights to come back.

found a manual. This was created by one of the distributors of the kit, Seems to me the kit is bull*** i will help because the pads adopt heat better an insure the ram chips are staying ' cooler' but when you have a 360 with loose x clamps or bad solder joint you still have to go through the x-clamp fix proces with bolts and washers. This i just a addition on the excisting fix, not a solution.

You get 2 screwdrivers which most people have anyway and 4 little pieces of sticky rubber, i am livid i have been ripped off. There are no instructions , after searching i found a guide to putting them on the RAM but as most of us already have microsofts own RAM cooling solution they are pointless.
I cannot express how utterly disappointed with Executer i am, they used to be held in extremely high regards but good god did they manage to slump to the bottom of the pile now. In my opinion they thought they would cash in on MASS pre order of this product, why else would they not release ANY images or explanations of the kit????? Well because no one would buy it, so they create a demand and purposely allow thousands of people to pre order to then be let down on mass.
What an eye opener, avoid like the plague!!

I folowed a guide from :
http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repair/ring_...x-clamp_fix.htm
And most importantly I followed there overheat method (at you own risk, and i know not very advised) where you run the ran on the CPU sink as that is where the temperature gauge for the overheating shutdown is.
I tried overheat method before but with fan on neither and according to the guide this is not hot enough to truelly re solder the GPU. So far 3 days working with intense play.
"Now for the most important part and most likely the point where the majority of people who were unsuccessful completing this fix failed.
This step requires you to overheat your GPU. Many tutorials tell you to unplug your fan and turn it on until it overheats. There is one major flaw with this approach. The thermosistor for the overheating protection of the 360 is contained within the CPU. The problem is that the CPU overheats without any airflow before the GPU is able to get sufficiently hot to "reflow" the BGA solder connection that has failed."

If you correctly apply the X-Clamp replacement bolts, there should be no need to overheat your board. Get a refund for your stickers, everyone that bought them. This is the same fucking thing as the penny/eraser "trick".
so every x-clamp fix that you have done dindn' t require the overheating of the GPU?
Had to do that several time's
Post by: Fazered on February 03, 2020, 09:30:00 AM
Still working and it's been used a lot. I also orders some artic silver, a Talismoon Whisper Max, XCM add-on fan and was going to do the X-Clamp at the same time. The thing is I'm loathed to go and take it apart and pull off the cooling systems when I may do further damage to the solder holding the GPU. I'll install the fans either way but would people advise me to do the clamp/thermal compound? Does it put further pressure on the board pulling off the cooling fins?

Post by: thejt on April 22, 2008, 02:59:00 PM
From a ton of experience with a boat load of 360's I have learned a few things. In my experience, 80% + of units with the 3RROD are due to failed BGA connections within the GPU; mostly 0102 errors. Unfortunately unless I am missing something the Xecuter kit will do nothing for you on the majority of 3RROD's. That said, a x-clamp replacement kit AND the xecuter rubber pads should cover all of the bases and increase your chance of sucess. Again, maybe I am missing something and the kit actually comes with the hardware you need to replace the x-clamps making it a viable solution. Otherwise I highly suggest getting a x-clamp 3rrod fix kit and then the xecuter pads if necessary.
If you have a 0102 rrod the xecuter kit is not what you want... not that you couldnt or shouldnt do it while your at it because you may just end up with a memory related 3rrod later.

i went to their site to see what was up, and saw this response they had to THIS very thread!
Click
its the second article down. its funny. they know they fukd up but they dance around it.
either way, like i said in my first post on this thread, they know that they havent much to offer these days. still, what a shitty thing for them to do. i hope someone from team xecuter is reading this. and i hope they know they've damaged themselves.
oh yeah..quick edit for a side note...
anyone planning to do the x-clamp fix for the first time, just follow this tut from llamma.com. its what ive used and its been good to me!

Ive been following topic this for a while and I thought I would give it a shot but not waste my money. I did the eraser mod (cut at 4mm), tightened my xclamp, and heated up the GPU with a heat gun and tightened a tad more. Let it cool down, and it worked. Maybe you need both sometimes?
I think the real point of this mod is the pressure it places under the board and not any heat dissipation because one chip is right in the middle under the GPU.
Well see how long it lasts.
Post by: burnandkill on April 25, 2008, 04:05:00 AM
I'm following Llamma's X-clamp tutorial http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repair/ring_of_light_x-clamp_fix.htm, and a decent eraser mod fix I found http://www.eurasia.nu/wiki/index.php?pagename=Xbox360EraserFixError0102 along with some heat to fix my RROD.
The hardest part so far was finding the torx wrenches. Lowe's and Home Depot didn't carry T8 or T10 so I hit Fry's and found a set. For the X-Clamp fix I'm goin with some 12mm flathead screws, 32 steel M5 1mm thick washers (3x8 washers on the bottom + 4x8 on the top) along with 16 nylon 4B washers I found at Lowes (1 touching each side of the mobo). For the eraser mod I bought some double sided tape and a few standard erasers..yay. I also got a heat gun for $25 to bake the RAM+GPU+CPU before and after I install the X-clamp replacement.
I think tighter heatsinks with arctic silver applied, pressure on the ram chips with rubber/foam and sticky tape, along with proper heat to reset the solder joints before and after the setup will fix my problems tomorrow. Im hitting Lowe's to pick up a few more washers that weren't accounted for, so wish me http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc192/burnandkill/360rrod.jpg I'll post results.
Team Xecuter couldn't market a heat fix and Llamma already sells an X-Clamp fix, so here's your eraser fix. Their fix is still CHEAPER THAN THE GAS, TAPE, RUBBER, AND TORX WRENCHES to do it on your own... I'd say get it unless you have the tools at home.

The hardest part so far was finding the torx wrenches. Lowe's and Home Depot didn't carry T8 or T10 so I hit Fry's and found a set.
that's weird, I found a nice set at home depot. I'm sure lowe's would have this common size as well (in a kit).
Good luck on your mod. Two days and mine still works

in most cases I have come into its the crappy thermal goo they use, or lack of in some units. And some units they poured it all over everything like its going out of style. I can get them working again just by removing all that gunk, and using my ceramic based stuff, and resetting the sinks, perfectly, and then they work again. But I still go overboard anyway since they are opened and heat the boards 4-6 more times to make sure all the solder is set up right anyway.
I dislike the fact they have what your getting hidden, that screams dishonest, and we're gonna bend you over when you buy our grab bag, imo.

1) I first took out the motherboard, covered the plastic components with tin foil, and applied the heat gun on low (6-10 inches away from the board) for about 5 mins to warm up the whole board. Then I focused the heat ( still on low, about 2-4" away) on the southbridge, GPU, RAM and CPU for about 2 mins. I cooled it off for another 5 mins with the heat gun at about a foot away from the board then let it sit for 15 mins.
2) Afterwards I replaced the X-Clamp, threw on some arctic silver, and applied some erasers on the 4 RAM chips, then cranked the heatsinks tight. I gave the heat gun another whirl, then tightened down the heatsinks a tad more.
3) I turned it on, STILL RoD... so I tried Llamma's overheating method to heat up the GPU. After cooling for 15 mins, I tried again...RoD (FUCK!).
4) At this point I had given up, I went to bed and slept it off. The next morning I kept thinking about the oven bake method and decided to really heat things up for one last ditch effort. I put some tin foil back on the board (with the X-Clamp replacement still attached) and heated the sucker with the heat gun for a good 20 mins until the board was super hot to the touch. I let it sit for 25 mins, then plugged it in - boot!
5) I let the 360 chill at the dashboard without a disk for a half hour then popped in a certain Rockstar game
I've been playing for about 2 hours with no hitches. I think the name of the game is heat. The X-Clamp and eraser fixes seem to just prevent the box from overheating again, but in order to fix my problems, I had to melt every square inch of the board multiple times to get that solder flowing back into the right places. I might be investing in a whisper max fan soon...

bang head against wall and give up, nah, go buy some nylon kit off some freak on ebay who claims no expanding coz they are nylon not metal blah blah, fitted this nylon bolt/washer kit and rrod is still present, out with the tea towel to overheat the gpu heatsink once again, let cool down, power up and bingo, rrod gone, in addition, fitted xcm power fan, the one that goes just below the cpu, see if a combination of the nylon fixtures and the xcm fan resolves the trouble, nah, the guy back on the phone even earlier than i thought, 1 day later with rrod back, so, a lot of time i have spent with these dam 360's, and i am really close to knocking it all on the head , anyway, good luck fellow 360 fixers, im sure i can find something better to do with my time.H Man

ok how many of u guys have actually tried this fix? Does it work? I have a 360 with the RROD with error 0102 i did a fix i found on this site using computer mobo spacers and it started working worked for a month and 20 days and im back to the rrod again, just wanted to know if this kit works and is worth it, cause it will be a pain in the ass to get the kit for me cause im in india so goin to have to take alot of trouble to try and get this kit to me.

God i had to sign up for this because i dont want anyone else ripped off by these people. THIS IS NOT A FIX.
You get 2 screwdrivers which most people have anyway and 4 little pieces of sticky rubber, i am livid i have been ripped off. There are no instructions , after searching i found a guide to putting them on the RAM but as most of us already have microsofts own RAM cooling solution they are pointless.
I cannot express how utterly disappointed with Executer i am, they used to be held in extremely high regards but good god did they manage to slump to the bottom of the pile now. In my opinion they thought they would cash in on MASS pre order of this product, why else would they not release ANY images or explanations of the kit????? Well because no one would buy it, so they create a demand and purposely allow thousands of people to pre order to then be let down on mass.
What an eye opener, avoid like the plague!!
I was about to post basically the same message as you. I got two kits from modchip.ca Cost me $42 with shipping.
I tried installing one kit but it didn't help.
all i can say is rip-off!

We all know the GPU and the RAM runs hot resulting in (arguably) a breakdown of the solder connections. So it might be more likely that corner around the GPU (where the RAM chips are) that fail more often.
In saying this it would be possible that these so-called heat transfer pads (which are likely to be more solid than the original white MS pads) are effectively applying more pressure to this area on the GPU when the unit is reassembled.
Also, if any of those 4 RAM chips had similar problems with the connections this would have the same effect.

good news this fix worked for me thanx xecuters and my 360 is working great now off to do some mindless killing gta IV style
do you know you're secondary code, i'm trying to see if this thing works besides 0102, as the ones i fixed all had this error. thanks
