I also offer bga/smd rework for rrod units
I have several units available
Xenons 100.00
Falcons 150.00
15.00 Shipping any where in United States.
I also offer a service that converts a non exploitable system into an exploitable system. This is accomplished by removing your CPU and replacing it with one of my CPUS that are exploitable. All work performed comes with 6 Month warranty. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Cost for this service depends on board revision as falcons will cost more

I have done this so many times i have lost count I started doing this just to pull KV's before the new dash came out but now that its out I just make taggable units now and all will have good kvs This requires advanced bga reworking and equipment i have invested the money in the proper equipment to do this. I buy rrod boards in bulk from a supplier in Chicago. I just got in 50 boards and 28 have exploitable cpus. These boards are just donor boards that i pull the cpus off and transplant them onto new boards. Then reball all the other chips and sell them on ebay as preballed gpus/hanas/ram for people who have reflowing skills but lack the skill set to reball the chips.

Replacing the Cpu consists of removing the Cpu from a non exploitable board then reballing an exploitable CPU and flashing the entire nand with the exploitable CPUS nand dump.

Presumably all this console needs to run again is a replacement southbridge. I have no way of knowing for sure that nothing else was damaged, however. Do you think this would be worth trying? If so, how much would it cost?
I also have a small block Jasper which is on the latest dash. How much would it cost to have the CPU on that unit replaced with an exploitable chip?

UPDATE:
It wasn't the board was the power supply, i tested the 360 with the power supply of a friend and it turned on just fine, then tested my PSU in my friend's xbox and it gave us 3RL.
It was a FALSE ALARM Skinyron, my Reballed 360 still going strong (Playing RE5 Splitscreen right now), My PSU was from an xbox of 2007, 3~4 years of use maybe did some damage to it
.I didn't notice the PSU light was going red. .

first of all i not bashing him so far he has been great but contact has not been there after sale.
i sent him a falcon board i killed trying to heat gun. he got it up and running with a donor board. the sad part is i told him to reball both cpu and gpu. as i wanted less chance of future problems. it appears the gpu was never reballed(still has glue in corners) which i asked to be done . even if extra charge.
chris please call me so we can work this out. i dont mind paying extra but i want to know up front.
also my friend i refered to you charlie b., has not heard from you in over 3 weeks on a console he sent back to you for repair. just found out my friend was refunded he could not fix console.
we also have 4 ps3's to send out, but we are waiting to hear from you.

I am completing all repairs currently in shop and no new repairs will be accepted. I have enjoyed my time with repairing these units but in my honest opinion these units are destined to fail.

Nice of the moderators to enforce the rules on here

I don't believe mine is exploitable, how much would you charge me to swap my CPU and jtag it?
People dont read posts anymore do they... If you go a few pages back you will see he no longer is doing any work on xboxs. Also it seems he is scaming some people. Mods need to re-lock his thread or change his first post so people dont try and use his services.

I am very sorry I vouched for this guy on here. It seems Skinyron has done what I have seen many others do in the past. Get a bunch of peoples consoles and get in way over his head just to end up ripping a bunch of people off.
I know this guy locally and he probably did 20 or so reflows and reballs for me over the course of a year. His repairs went steadily downhill during spring of this year. And I actually found him to be board and cpu swapping me on my jtags the last time I dealt with him. So I basically just stopped talking to him.
Last time I saw him was around march/april around then he was clearing out all his xbox stuff. He had built some $2000+ I7 system with all the fixings. As well as couple new lcds and 3d tvs. Now after reading this I see why he went on a shopping spree with his paypal.
So while I am here I will also warn you about another member called NYCxbox. He is close friends with Skinyron and I actually spoke to mods before about him. He has been ripping of people locally for a long time here in Indianapolis. And also was selling supposedly reballed units on X-s for more then 1.5 years.
I couldn't really do much about this situation earlier because at the time I was also selling alot of jtags. And it really came down to he said she said stuff. But now that I no longer sell jtags or really mess with the 360 anymore I feel like I can say this now.
If anyone needs any information to help clear up this mess feel free to contact me. I also would be happy to elaborate on any of the things I talked about here.
Also Skinyron was not taking finals or any of that other BS. He is full of it. He was talking about "going back to school" when I saw him in spring. So unless he enrolled in summer I he was doing no such thing.
Sorry for the drawn out, poorly written, and grammatically f-d post. But figured I owed it to this site to say what I know.

Listen asshole. I never once Flamed you and what I do here locally is none of X-S business, you need to back the fuck off as your a SLANDERING my reputation based on no proof of anything. I have done my best to be a top seller here on X-S forums. I have also gone to Skinyron for reballs and reflows and he has done a good job for me. I have had my share of systems that have gone RROD from him and yes I will agree some of his work fell off twords the end, but you don't know the whole story. I am not here to defend Skinyron, just my own name as you brought me up with no good reason and no facts. Even if I was the worlds largest scammer locally, it gives you NO RIGHT at all to slander my Xbox-scene BST reputation. I do my best to honor my deals with people here. I have had my share of systems die within my DOA period and honor my DOA warranty, I also have had system die OUTSIDE my DOA period and done my best to help that customer as much as I could costing them little to NOTHING for a repair to what I had sold them. If you check my JTAG threads (my current one) as well as my other 4 or 5 that go back almost 2 years now you will find well over 50 transactions and nothing but happy people. Yes I have had my share of maybe a dozen rrod and such, but I have never SCAMMED anyone here EVER!!!!.
As for my local dealings - I did do a lot of local business here on craigslist. Like any other person here trying to make a bit of side money i did my best to find the cheapest tagables I could, and ANY RROD system i could at minimal cost, make the investment of having skinyron reball it (so he made his $50 or $75 if he did a CPU swap to make it taggable from a RROD Non tagable) then I would advertise them locally and sell them. I never sold a RROD system to anyone here locally. Yes I have had system RROD within a day or two from local buyers, but I don't trust craigslisters - Like with any local classified ad - it is buyer beware. I always offered local buyers the ability to turn it on and play test it - though I don't invite craigslisters to my home. I always offered to meet people and if they had a TV in their car (many do) I would allow them to test it. I also offered people close enough to me - to go to their house and test it before purchase. Again I never outright scammed anyone here locally, intentionally. I have had one or two system go RROD locally after a few days, but craigslist isn't X-S so there is no DOA policy. I have bought many of things on craigslist too that failed instantly once I got them home or within a few days, and basically never had anyone offer me a refund / exchange, so what is fair is fair. Yea there might be one or two people locally out of the 100's I have dealt with flipping xbox 360's - taggables and just standard stock systems for a small profit that I basically told them All sales are final and have it fail a day or two later - oh well that don't make me a scammer, and I have actually in some cased refunded or exchanged their purchase, but After one local who fucked up the system himself within 24 hours of buying it and then ringing my phone every hour on the hour harassing me for a refund or exchange, after checking the system out myself and seeing that he ripped tracers trying to swap xclamps out and also Xmas lighted it by changing the KV incorrectly, decided Jtags locally are ALL SALES FINAL REGARDLESS - Once they tested and bought it - they were 100% responsible - I am not taking a loss for some moron who don't know what they are doing with a 360/jtag after they buy it. I also have not advertised a Jtag on Craigslist locally for well over 5 months now - FEB/March was the last of my Jtag ad's here locally and all I have been advertising for Xbox recently is rapid fire chips which I am a top seller for, I have one of the best chips out there and I do LED light changes and Thumbstick customizations, 100% legit and everyone who buys from me is happy - NOT A SINGLE negative comment from anyone locally.. I never had a disappointed rapid fire customer EVER. I know for a fact I have done over 200 local rapid fire mods as I keep a record of buyers. I also have local shops buy my rapid fire chips and they and their customers love them. I have not advertised 360 Modding in over a year on Craigslist - it's not worth doing and the fact that people treat you as tech support and expect you to sell them illegal games (which I never ever have done) just pisses me off. I do sell other things I can get my hands on cheap for a small profit, and to be honest with you all - there is nothing VIDEO GAME related worth selling on craigslist as the BST on craigslist is FLOODED with 360 stuff, many people WAY OVERPRICED, others selling super cheap - I can't ever find a happy medium so I have not done gaming accessories other than rapid fire since march. I do sell PC stuff and Furniture and such as I am very good at finding a SLICKDEAL from a retailer and then flipping it on Craigslist for a small, but worth while profit.
So - I think the MODS/ADMINS should BAN your ass for your post. To outright slander a person for no reason, and bringing in business stories and hearsay from something that has NOTHING to do with Xbox-scene is just wrong and should be bannable. One of the rules is not to FLAME. . I have no problem with the people here who have a GRIP about skinyron, writing it - But to mention another member who has nothing to do with him other than living within 20 miles of him and also being a customer of his (I am nothing more than a customer to him) That does NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SLANDER ME. Perhaps I will get your information from Skinyron and file a defamation of character suit against you. Granted, I used Craigslist and X-S to make some pocket / side money to buy my toys with, but you outright and unequivocally slandered me for no reason. I never even dealt with you, I never did a transaction with you.. If I did and you didn't care for the level of customer service you got from me or were unsatisfied with my product locally - then you have a reason not to like me - but it does not give you ONE or ANY right to come to this forum where I worked hard over 5 years to keep my reputation as clean as respectable as possible (no one is perfect) and have you just outright slander me for no reason.
I have not spoken to skinyron in quite some time, but I think after your post and dragging me into this for no related reason, I will be calling him. No I am not going to talk him into coming back here to take care of his issues - he is man enough to do that himself. I am not his daddy, again I am just one of his customers, which by the way I am not anymore since he stopped doing reballs. Since he was the ONLY one doing reballs locally and there is noone else remotely near me - I have stopped looking for RROD to convert and my side money for jtags is pretty slow - I do still try to find taggables at a cheap price, tag them and sell them for a small profit and I have found one or two in the past month here for X-S members - but I have not been on CL in months for Jtags or any other 360 related sales except rapid fires...
Be thankful I never run into you, My screen name tells you where I am from, and there is a street education and attitude in me that comes back out when I need it to. I'll will come out in force if I ever run into you. You sir are an ASSHOLE and again you should be banned, your comments removed. GOOD RIDDANCE to you.
PS: i need to add one thing. You mention what skinyron built and bought with his money. Again - none of your business or anyone else's business what he bought. Yes there are a few unhappy people here that claim they got back RROD systems or got systems that failed quickly, and a few claiming they never got their systems back. They have a LEGIT gripe. But there are 100's if not close to 1000's boards he has done in over the years time. Many work great and still work great - in the beginning his works was rock solid - and to be honest - I would still go to him if he was still doing it. I spent many hours with him in garage as he allowed me to sit around and watch him fix my stuff. We did talk and I guess you can say we were friendly, but trust me - I am just a customer to him. He worked his ass off for a hobby that he turned into a side business for some time, he has the right to retire if he wants to (granted I agree with members that the last of his work should be backed up within his DOA policy and people who have outstanding work should get their systems back in the condition they were sent in + a refund, or get their systems back working and still given a DOA period.) What he bought with his money (and you don't know how much he really made doing just this) is none of ANYONE'S business. ANYONE'S... So again you need to keep your opinion to yourself. Since you have no legitimate gripe with outstanding work that has not been done for you, or a failed system still inside a DOA period he gave you, then you really have no business chiming in here.. Your whole rant should be considered FLAMING and Slander and you should be banned from these boards.
Also should you actually have the BALLS to contact me.. I would really enjoy a PM from you with who and what I scammed? I would really enjoy to read that. Since you and I never did business, anything you write or post or tell people about me is hearsay. I would like to know how many second hand accounts of SCAMS you got about me? I really hate people like yourself. Little bitch who sticks his nose in other peoples business with no legitimate reason other than to Make yourself look good. I am sure in your time doing business you have had some sales that the item went bad after some time, so really good of you to purge your soul by making up shit about other people since you no longer are selling stuff. I know who you are, You have come up a few times by Skiny in our conversations in the garage, and don't come off as a innocent bystander either, you have spent your hours in his garage too talking and BSing. And lastly He is in school - that is not bull shit. Also he has had major life changing events since march/spring as well as some really bad luck and bad business deals that most likely drove him out of doing this. Again, not defending him, but if you want to spew lies, best I can do is just set the record straight from what I know. We all have Skiny's phone number, address, ect.... He isn't sitting at home acting all Dr. Evil about getting over on anyone. I have no clue what he has been doing since a few weeks before announcing his retirement from Reballing, I know that the Last system i Had him do for me took like 2 weeks - It felt like it was never coming back. He dropped it off to me, shook my hand and said was nice doing business with you. Told me I had 15 days - if anything went wrong bring it back, he was winding down and I had no clue he was going to announce a retirement, but I should have guessed, DOA policy changed and he told me no more for a while. - Sorry I had to amend this with an extra paragraph, But I felt it necessary.
